Hi Parents and Grandparents of Preschoolers!
This week to bring the story home, talk with your child about times that God has answered
specific prayers for your family. Remind her that even though sometimes
we don’t get the answer we hope for, that God always wants what is best
for us. Begin a prayer journal. Write down prayer requests made at each
devotion time, and then be sure to record God’s answers as they come.
Also as you go about family activities, mention Jesus’ love for your child.
Say: “Jesus loves you. He loves Mommy and Daddy. Jesus loves your friend Bobby.
The
earlier we train our little ones at a young age to pray for their
friends or family when they are sick or maybe just not so nice to them,
will make it a priority for them as they get older.
This Sunday, May 4, 2014, your preschooler will learn about this story:
Jesus Performed Miracles Based on Matthew 8:1-13
Jesus had been on a mountain, teaching people about God’s love. As He came down the mountain, a man came up to Him. The man had a serious skin disease. “Jesus,” the man said, “if You are willing, You can make me well.”
“I am willing,” Jesus said. The man was well! Jesus told the man to go show himself to the priest and give an offering to God.
Jesus traveled on to a town called Capernaum. As He entered the town, a soldier came to Him and pleaded, “Please help my servant. He is sick and hurts very badly.” Jesus told the man that He would come and heal his servant.
“Jesus, You do not have to come to my house,” the man said. “Just speak the word, and my servant will be better.”
Jesus was amazed by the man’s words. Jesus knew the man believed that He could help his servant. “Go home,” Jesus said. “Since you believed, your servant will be better.” Jesus helped people and gave them hope.
Christ Focus: Jesus cares about us and wants to help us.
Life Point: Jesus wants to give people hope.
Life Verse: God made us special. Psalm 8:5
