Preschool: David Thanks God for His Help

September 30, 2009

September 27

This morning we finished up our lessons about David by learning that David was thankful to God for ALL that God had done.Our kids really shouted out the answer tothis months question: Who will help me? God can help me do anything!

To help us remember our story, we played musical instrumentsand made a giant banner to praise God. Thenwe had a special party with cupcakes to celebrate all that God has done for us!

Parents, help your child havea heart that is grateful by practicing gratitude with them daily. Be sure to thank God for specific things during each prayer time. Instead of saying, “God thank you for this food” at each meal time, be more specific so that this doesn’t become routine and lose its meaning. Say “Thank you God for this delicious chicken pot pie and for the vegtables that you grew in the ground.” Modeling this for your child andguiding them to pray this way will help them develop a thankful heart.

Be sure to practice the memory verse at home. This is a great life verse for your child to learn. “I (point to self) can do all things (spread arms out like a burst) through Christ.” (point up). Phil. 4:13 (hold hands open like a Bible) Kids can get a case of the “I can’ts”. When that happens, pull this verse our of your back pocket and remind them that they can do all things with God’s help.

Next week, our kids will begin learning some of the same concepts that the grown-ups will learn through our Wiii series.
