This is our memory verse for this week. In the spirit of humility, I need to say I can hear one of my boys yelling at the other while they are picking up their room right now. Not very pleasant words.
With a lot of prayer and repetition hopefully the Lord will prick our hearts this week to be pleasant in our speech to one another.
Here are a couple of practical ways we helped this verse to sink in:
- Took out the honey and let them get a taste of it on their finger. Yummmm! very sweet. We like honey!
- We talked about where honey came from and how it is made.
- Then we talked about eating dirt, or vinegar, or worms and how those were not sweet like honey. Which one would they rather eat?
- That is one way we can bless other people, with our pleasant words. They are so powerful they can even bring healing to others.
- We colored some honeycomb and honey pages from here http://www.surfnetkids.com/games/bee_coloring_pages.htm
- When we go to the store this week we will pick up some Honeycomb cereal and talk about our verse when we eat our breakfast.
The words spoken in our home our powerful. What kind of words fill your home?
My brother's a hobby beekeeper, Krista, in case you're ever looking for a field trip (or some fresh honey.) Love your blog, as always.
