June 9 | When Your Best Friend Moves Away | Devotional for Kids Carpooling with Jesus Kids Devotional

Hey Carpool Crew! What happens when your best friend moves away? In today's episode, Pastor Justin talks about one of the hardest parts of growing up: saying goodbye to a close friend. Whether it's a move across town or across the country, it can feel like everything is changing. The plans you made together disappear, and you may wonder if your friendship will ever be the same. Using Proverbs 17:17, "A friend loves at all times," kids will discover that real friendship is about more than living nearby. Long before phones, video calls, and text messages existed, God knew that true friends would find ways to stay connected, encourage one another, and care for each other no matter the distance. This episode helps children process the sadness of a friend moving away while giving practical ways to keep friendships strong. Kids will learn how sending messages, making phone calls, sharing funny pictures, and praying for friends can help maintain meaningful relationships even when miles separate them. Today's big idea: Real friendship doesn't end with distance. If your child is facing a move, missing a friend, or learning how to stay connected with people they care about, this encouraging devotional reminds them that great friendships can continue to grow even when life changes. https://carpoolingwithjesus.com Listen & Subscribe Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/4gUygJo Carpooling with Jesus: https://apple.co/3Zt7lvO Goodnight Psalms: https://apple.co/4nPQBJy Carpooling with Heroes of the Bible: https://apple.co/42UWrBm Subscribe on Spotify: https://bit.ly/SpotifySubscribe Spotify Plus: https://bit.ly/SpotifyPlus Facebook Group: https://bit.ly/CPWJFB YouTube: https://bit.ly/YoutubeCPWJ Instagram: https://bit.ly/carpooling-insta TikTok: https://bit.ly/TikTokCarpoooling Free Stickers: https://bit.ly/CarpoolingStickers Book a Shout Out: https://bit.ly/booktheshoutout Submit a Question: https://bit.ly/4bgCQir Carpooling with Jesus is a Christian kids podcast that helps families talk about real-life challenges through the lens of Scripture.
