Speaking at the Right Time

"A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver."
Proverbs 25:11

Reflection

The same sentence can heal or hurt depending on the moment. Knowing when to speak matters as much as what to say.

Prayer

Lord, teach me the right time to speak. Amen!

Talk about it as a family

  1. How can the same sentence heal or hurt?
  2. When is the right time to say something hard?
  3. What kind word could you say today?

5-minute activity

Make "golden apple" cards: cut out apples from yellow paper and write kind words on them. Give them out at the right moment today. Read Proverbs 25:11.
