“If the church ain’t cryin it’s dyin”

I know it can be intimidating bringing your little ones to church but I promise the more you do it the less intimidating it gets. Stressful? Yes that will continue 😂 but you won’t be intimidated 😉

I have been bringing my babies to church since my first and now that I am pregnant with baby number 6 here are a few things I have learned.

Jesus said “Let the children come to me.” If you are worried about people getting upset when your toddler or baby makes a noise, don’t be. Jesus wants you and your whole family to be there!

Of course if your baby is full on crying or if your toddler is throwing a tantrum definitely excuse yourself with them. My husband and I do this OFTEN during mass (well mostly my husband 😝) We sit near the back and head to the lobby or
outside when the kids start to get rowdy.

But if baby is just fussing a little while you adjust to feed them, don’t worry. Again, “if the church ain’t cryin it’s dyin”

Trust me I KNOW the struggle of taking the time and making the sacrifice to get to church. I know how it can be stressful and it may feel like “What’s the point? I didn’t even hear the sermon.” But Jesus sees all of this 🤗. He sees you are making that sacrifice to be there and are doing what you can to raise your children in the faith. ❤️

I promise the more consistent you are with it the more your children will adjust. Yes it may take being out of the toddler years but once it becomes part of their routine there comes a day where it will get easier!

How about you? What do you bring to church to entertain your little ones?
