       2018

BASIC TRUTH: God made me.
SAY THIS:
Who has a plan for you?
God has a plan for you.
DO THIS:

 MORNING TIME


When you go in your baby's room this month say, "Good morning, sweet [boy/girl]! I'm so glad God's plan was to give you to me!"
 

 FEEDING TIME


While feeding your baby this month say,"Drink up, buttercup! I pray God's plan is for you to grow big and strong."
 

 CUDDLE TIME


Cuddle up with your baby this month and pray, "Dear God, I pray [child's name] will grow up to trust Your plan, no matter how hard it may get. Help me to lead the way. I love You, God. In Jesus' name, amen."
 

 BATH TIME


As you bathe your baby this month, look [him/her] in the eye and say, "God made you, God loves you, and I can trust God's plans for you."
