The Wisdom of Ants

"Go to the ant, you sluggard! Consider her ways and be wise."
Proverbs 6:6

Reflection

The ant stores in summer so nothing is missing in winter. Preparing today for what you need tomorrow is a lesson from a tiny creature.

Prayer

Father, teach me to prepare ahead of time. Amen!

Talk about it as a family

  1. What does the ant do in summer?
  2. How can we prepare today for tomorrow?
  3. What can a tiny creature teach us?

5-minute activity

Look for ants outside and watch them carrying food for a few minutes. If you can't find any, draw them. Then plan one thing to prepare today for tomorrow. Read Proverbs 6:6-8.
