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

  1. Are being smart and being kind opposites?
  2. How can wisdom come wrapped in gentleness?
  3. 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.
