For the last couple of months we’ve been repeating a sort of mantra with the girls at bed time.
We say: “Who loves you?”
The girls reply: “Mom, Dad and God.”
Then we ask: “Why did God make you?”
To which the girls answer: “To love God, and to love others.”
The other night I took the application a little further. I asked Sari how she was doing with loving others. She talked about a close friend of hers and how she’s trying to allow God to help her love her friend better.
Then I asked Sari how she was doing in the “loving God” category, to which she replied:
“Oh Daddy, I’ve always loved Jesus!”
I love this! We may have to steal this from you guys. 🙂 Thank you for sharing!

We got the idea from a Children’s Ministry White Paper, a sort of treatise on why a particular church does kidmin the way they do. At the end of the paper they talk about this concept and they called it a good night word.
Thanks for sharing that story – give all your girls a hug from auntie Laurie
Thanks, Aunt Laurie!
