Wisdom and Kindness
"She opens her mouth with wisdom, and on her tongue is the law of kindness."Proverbs 31:26
Reflection
Being smart and being kind are not opposites. The best wisdom comes wrapped in gentleness.
Prayer
God, join wisdom and kindness in me. Amen!
Talk about it as a family
- Are being smart and being kind opposites?
- How can wisdom come wrapped in gentleness?
- Who do you know who is wise and kind?
5-minute activity
Practice giving advice kindly: the child helps a grown-up who "doesn't know" how to do something, using gentle words. Then switch roles. Read Proverbs 31:26.
