Do you remember your first love? Their face is
probably imbedded into your brain somewhere!
Do you remember how you felt about Jesus the first
time you heard about Him? Or what is your earliest memory of Jesus…or church? I
remember story time in the nursery before I turned five and got to go to the
Kindergarten classroom…and then Vacation Bible School when I was only five or
six years old. But my most important memory of Jesus was when I was in the
sixth grade and we were studying the Lord’s Prayer. That was the first time
that Jesus became really real to me. “Give us this day our daily bread.” He is
the Bread of Life. We need to have Him in our lives every day. Thank you, Mrs.
Howe, for teaching me that. Jesus as my “daily bread” has now been a lifelong
quest. He is my spiritual food. No fear of starving as I
search the scriptures. No fear—just knowing that He loved me even before I was born.
Teach that to your children, too. Jesus loves them.
That song, “Jesus, Loves Me” is probably one of the best known songs with little children—especially with my
grandchildren. That along with songs I’ve made up for each of them…and of
course, Silent Night. Good songs to listen to as one is falling asleep. Keep up
the good singing, Kim, Lisa, Mike and Melissa!
Training
Tip – Keep singing. Songs tell children that they are
loved—by you and by Jesus.
Lord
– I Love You. The song maybe “Jesus Loves Me,” but this is my song to You. “I
love Jesus, yes I do, for He’s strong and always true. He will guide us through
this day and show us that He’s The Way. Yes. I love Jesus. Yes. I love Jesus. Yes.
I love Jesus, because He first loved me.”
