Hearing Both Sides
"The first one to plead his cause seems right, until his neighbor comes and examines him."Proverbs 18:17
Reflection
Every story has another side. Hearing both before deciding is a sign of a wise person, not an indecisive one.
Prayer
God, teach me to listen before concluding. Amen!
Talk about it as a family
- Why does the first story always sound right?
- How can hearing both sides help?
- When did you judge before hearing everything?
5-minute activity
Two people tell the same short event from their own point of view, like who left the toys out. The child listens to both before deciding. Talk about what changed. Read Proverbs 18:17.
