Wisdom From Above
"The wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, full of mercy and good fruits."James 3:17
Reflection
There is cleverness that hurts and wisdom that blesses. The kind from God always brings peace along. If an idea hurts someone, it did not come from above.
Prayer
God, give me the wisdom that comes from You and brings peace. Amen!
Talk about it as a family
