Parents, it's feeling a little Maycember over here, so I'm sure you are feeling it too. The older our kiddos get, the more packed the end of the school year gets--field trips, dress up days, awards ceremonies, parties...it's all a little😵‍💫

When we are stretched thin, the first thing to go is usually our faith life. It's easy to put it off when we don't see it on our schedule. And when we put off our relationship with God, we give up our peace. So here are a few practical ways we can help ourselves and our kids stay connected to Jesus when things get busy.

1. One Verse a Week

Share a short Bible verse each week and encourage kids to say it out loud every day—while brushing teeth, tying shoes, or riding in the car.

“Be still and know that I am God.” – Psalm 46:10

2. Gratitude Game

Challenge kids to name one thing they’re thankful for each day in May and turn it into a quick prayer at bedtime.

“Thank you, God, for my teacher.”

3. Drive-Time Prayer

Encourage kids to say a short prayer while riding to school, sports, or practice.

“Jesus, help me do my best today.”

4. Nighttime “Yay God” Moments

At bedtime, invite kids to name one moment from the day that reminded them of God’s love.

“My friend shared with me—thanks, God, for kindness!”

📢Easter Sunday 📢

Today's Point: Jesus defeated death to save us!

It was true! What seemed like the end was really the beginning. Jesus was stronger and more powerful than death. He is risen! He proved it!

Because Jesus rose from the dead, those who believe in Him as Lord and Savior are also promised to live with Him forever after our bodies die on earth. Easter Sunday is a special day when we celebrate and tell the world loudly that Jesus is alive! Resurrection Sunday proclaims, “Jesus is risen!”

No matter who you are or what you’ve done, you can know Jesus and be His friend today. He loves you so much and is always there for you.

This Easter, remember—Jesus is alive, and He wants to be close to you every day! 💛

✝️ Good Friday ✝️

Today’s Point: God had a plan for Jesus, and for you.

Jesus was praying in a garden when some soldiers came to arrest Him. They were mean to Him and even made a painful crown out of thorns and put it on His head. Even though Jesus had done nothing wrong, He was punished and had to carry a big wooden cross. Then He was put on the cross and died.

This might seem really unfair—and it was—but it was part of God’s special plan. Jesus loved people so much that He chose to take the punishment for everyone’s wrong choices. Even while He was hurting, He asked God to forgive the people being mean to Him.

That’s why Good Friday is important—it shows how much Jesus loves us. He loves us so much, that He chose to give His life for ours.

🌓 Silent Saturday 🌗

Today’s Point: Even when people don’t understand, God always knows what He’s doing.

A man named Joseph and a few women wanted to take care of Jesus’ body, so they went home and got spices and perfumes ready—but they waited and rested on the Sabbath, just like they were supposed to. It must have been hard to wait, but in their waiting they stayed faithful to what God had instructed His people to do.

Jesus had told His disciples that He would come back to life after three days. They may have remembered this, but it was hard to believe because they were so sad.

They didn’t fully understand God’s plan yet—but God had something amazing about to happen!

Today’s Point: The Lord’s Supper is a way to remember what Jesus did.

At the first Passover, the blood of a spotless, perfect lamb protected God’s people. The Israelites celebrated their rescue for hundreds of years after.

The night Jesus shared a Passover supper with His disciples, He said He was going to be the *last* Passover lamb that anyone would need. He would be the Rescuer of all people, once and for all. Jesus would shed His blood to cover the doorposts of our hearts, and rescue us from our sin.

When we take the Lord’s Supper, we remember what Jesus did for us, and we celebrate that our rescue ends in the promise of Heaven!

💰 Wednesday 💰

Today’s Point: Jesus wants our whole heart.

Yesterday, we read about a woman who loved Jesus very much and gave Him her very best gift. But not everyone loved Jesus. Some people didn’t believe Him and thought He was dangerous. They were so angry that they made a plan to capture Him and hurt Him.

One of Jesus’ helpers, a man named Judas, decided to help those people. He wanted money, so he told them where they could find Jesus. This was very sad because Judas was supposed to be Jesus’ friend. But Jesus already knew what Judas would do, and God used it as part of His big plan to save the world.

Judas spent a lot of time with Jesus, but he didn’t truly love and follow Him in his heart. This teaches us something important: just going to church, listening to Bible stories, or doing good things doesn’t save us. What really matters is loving Jesus, trusting Him, and giving Him our whole heart.

Today’s Point: We can worship Jesus in many ways.

When someone does something kind for you, it sticks with you—it makes you feel seen, valued, and loved.

The woman who came to Simon’s house wanted Jesus to feel that way. She showed her love in a powerful way by anointing Jesus with expensive perfume. The perfumed oil was in an alabaster jar that had to be broken open to use what was inside. It was reserved only for special occasions because it could not be stored again.

It wasn’t just a kind gesture—it was sacrificial, meaningful, and full of devotion. She gave her best, recognizing His true worth. She gave what was costly to honor the One who is priceless.

At Easter, we recognize that Jesus gave us His best on the cross—He was broken open and poured out for our sin, so we should give Him our best worship.

⛪️ Monday ⛪️

Today’s Point: Jesus teaches us how to worship.

When Jesus went to the temple and saw people sinning instead of worshipping, He was rightfully angry that God wasn’t being honored, but also that the hearts of His people were so far from Him.

Worship is any action or attitude that shows praise, love, and appreciation for God. We can sing, dance, or shout! Or we can read Scripture, reflect on His goodness, and quietly pray.

Worshipping points our hearts to Him and keeps us from holding on to anything less.
