This week, take 1 day to ask these 2 questions and spend 3 minutes talking about them: What do you want to do, and who do you want to be when you grow up? How can God help you now and, in the future, to live out who you are meant to be?

Our Game Changer Bible story from Psalm 139 taught kids that God leads us to true identity. A king named David wrote that God knows everything about us because He made us. God leads us to true identity because He knows who we are and who we are meant to be. At mealtimes this week, talk about all the different things that make members of your family special. Remind family members that God knows them and leads them to be who He made them to be.

This week we celebrated Hooray Day, a special day where we celebrate God! This Hooray Day was a big celebration because we learned that David understood that God knew everything about him. God even knew the words David would speak. God knows everything about us too! God leads us to know Him because He loves us. At mealtimes this week, talk about the different things that make members of your family special. Remind family members that God knows everything about them.

Take time today to pray as a family—talk and listen to God. Pray these four things:
1. Thank God that He wants us to love like Jesus.
2. Ask God to help you love others like Jesus.
3. Pray for those for whom it may be hard to show Jesus’ love. Pray that you can share His love with them.
4. Choose one or two other people to pray for—that they can love others like Jesus would.

This week, take 1 day to ask these 2 questions and spend 3 minutes talking about them: Do you treat others the way they treat you? How did Jesus treat others, and how can we learn from His example?

Take 1 day this week to highlight these 2 things and spend 3 minutes talking about them: Show your preschoolers a tape measure and ask, “When have you used or watched a tape measure being used?” Tell your preschoolers that when they see a tape measure, they can remember that God’s love is so big it cannot be measured! They can know that God has a plan for their lives, and part of His plan is to love others like Jesus.

In this week’s Bible story, Jesus taught that people who follow Him are to love even when it costs them something and even if they are not shown love and kindness in return. Jesus taught that we are to even love our enemies. Kids learned that Jesus is our example of how to love. As you are out and about this week, talk about times when it is hard to love others and times when it is easy. Help your kids see that they can love like Jesus, even when it is hard.

Preschoolers learned that Jesus wanted everyone to know that loving others, even when it is hard, makes us more like God. When we love everyone, people can see God’s love shining through us. We can love like Jesus and know God has a plan for us. As you are out and about this week, talk about times when it is hard to love others and times when it is easier to love others. Help your preschoolers see that they can love like Jesus, even when it is hard.
