October 13th: Scared of Losing a Pet? | Devotional for Kids Carpooling with Jesus

Hey, Carpool Crew!

Today’s episode is for anyone who’s ever had to say goodbye to a pet — or is scared of that happening one day. Whether it’s a goldfish, a hamster, a dog, or a cat, losing a pet is hard… because loving them meant something real.

We’re continuing our October series What Would Jesus Say About the Things That Scare Us? — and today we’re talking about grief. In John 11:35, the shortest verse in the Bible simply says: “Jesus wept.” That’s two words, but they show us something really important: Jesus understands sadness. When someone he loved died, he cried. And that means your tears matter to him too.

If you’ve lost a pet — or you’re scared of losing one — Jesus doesn’t roll his eyes or rush you to feel better. He sits with you in your sadness. He cares about the things you care about. You can talk to him, cry with him, and thank him for the memories that made your pet so special.

Before you go, talk about this together: 📍 What’s one thing you loved about a pet you had — and how can you thank God for that memory today?

I’ll see you tomorrow on Carpooling with Jesus.
