I Don't Have It. Do You Think You Do? - Family Plus PS

Hi Parents and Grandparents of Preschoolers!

Have you ever been in a situation where you’re thinking to yourself: I’ve so got this. No problem. It’s all under control. Then, out of the blue, one kid starts puking while the other throws himself on the ground over the fact that he wanted a Spiderman sticker and got Batman? Well, maybe nothing that extreme has happened (yet), but we’ve all been in situations that have spiraled completely out of our control.
What we forget is that we never really had control in the first place. God did. God does. God’s got it. The creator of the universe cares about you and me, and He’s got it. He has the power to be involved in every aspect of our lives. He loves us and wants to help us. Isn’t that cool? Even in the craziness called parenting, God’s got it.

Here is a fun activity that you can do with your preschooler to help with this week's story. 
Go outside and see just how much power you and your preschooler I have! How fast can you run? How many push-ups can you do? How high can you jump? How long can you hang from the bar on the swing set? How high can you swing? Do you have enough power to climb a tree? Whew! The options for testing your power are endless, but there is an end to your power. Not with God’s power, though! Tell your child that God’s power is bigger than anything we could ever imagine and it NEVER runs out! God’s got it!

This Sunday, September 7, 2014, your preschooler will learn that :
Elijah prays to the one true God, to prove to the king, who has a fake idol, that God
is the only one who can answer prayers. 1 KINGS 18:1-39

MEMORY VERSE - “God is with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9, NLT
BASIC TRUTH - God made me. God loves me. Jesus wants to be my friend forever.
KEY QUESTION - Who’s got it?
BOTTOM LINE - God loves me.

Thank you for allowing us to partner with you in guiding your child spiritually.
