How do you get your child’s attention or interest when you want to convey a Biblical message?

Words are powerful- Jesus used words to convey his message, heal the sick, and cast out demons.

Here are some phrases you can say to your children:

• This too shall pass
• Stand firm in the faith
• Be strong in the Lord
• Give thanks to the Lord
• Jesus loves you

These phrases should be a part of your daily dialogue, and I’m sure your children will pass along the tradition to their children as well. They will learn to rely on these sticky phrases to help them, guide them, or give praise and thanks to the Lord!
