A Secret Kept
"A talebearer reveals secrets, but he who is of a faithful spirit conceals a matter."Proverbs 11:13
Reflection
When someone tells you something important, it becomes treasure in your hands. Keeping a secret is a way of saying: you can trust me.
Prayer
Lord, make me someone trustworthy. Amen!
Talk about it as a family
