Hi, tween girls! Did you know that today’s Plush Animal Lovers Day??? If not, I didn’t either! It’s a day to give extra love and care to your favorite stuffed animal. They sure think of everything, don’t they?!

My fave, growing up, was Bunny, and I slept with her every night. She was soft and cuddly with very long ears and about half the size of me! I loved and treasured her and loved holding her tight. She was such a comfort to me.

I’m sure you have a favorite stuffed animal, too, who does the same for you! Maybe a puppy or teddy bear or bunny like mine . . . I’d love hearing about yours, too:)

Just like our stuffed animals give us sweet comfort, know that God, your Heavenly Father, does the same for us, too. Isaiah 41:10 says God is always with you and to not be afraid. I love that! That He’s always with us, and loves us, and loves to comfort us, too! So if you haven’t already, just invite Him into your heart. It’s that simple! And when you do, just know that He’ll always be with you, and what could be greater than that?!

So on this Plush Animal Lovers Day, how about grabbing your favorite stuffed animal and giving her extra hugs or squeezing her all day? Or maybe taking her out for breakfast, or a day in the park, or reading your favorite book to her.

Whatever you do, have a sweet, fun day, and remember, God’s with you, too!
