When you go into your child’s room, cuddle them and say: “Good morning, [child’s name]! God made you and I love watching you grow, grow, grow!”
Cuddle time
Cuddle with your child and pray: “God, thank you for giving us Jesus to teach us about Your kingdom. Thank you that we can all be a part of Your kingdom! We love you God! In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
Drive time
While on the go, look outside for big trees. Talk about how a tree starts out as a small seed and grows and grows and grows. God’s kingdom grows too as more people are part of God’s kingdom
Bath time
While you bathe your child, scrunch up the washcloth to be very small. Then make it grow bigger and bigger. Say: “Look at that! We made your washcloth grow! God’s kingdom grows and grows as more people follow Jesus. You can be part of God’s kingdom, and I can be part of God’s kingdom.
