“Lord, you are great. You are really worthy of praise. No one can completely understand how great you are.”

Psalm 145:3, NIrV

Morning Time

Write a note on your preteen's door or mirror, “I am so grateful God made you! Take some time today to notice all of the other wonderful things God has made. Make a mental list and share it with me later.”
 

Drive Time

While in the car, ask your preteen, “Who is it easy for you to get along with? Who makes it difficult?” Offer to pray for them to get along with others, even when it is difficult to show God's love.

Q&A for Kids: What is the coolest thing God made that you’ve either seen in real life, or that you’d like to see? (Think: Grand Canyon, the Northern Lights, etc.)

Q&A for Parents: When you were a kid, what was the craziest thing you imagined yourself being as an adult?
 

God has created you for a purpose. He’s created you to do things that no one else on this entire planet can do in the same way as you! Share with each other if you have any ideas what some of your purpose might be. Parents, you can encourage your kids with what you see in them. Pray that God will show you both something new about your purpose this week.
