Think on These Things
Phillipians 4: 8
Focus on what’s true.
“Anyone who lives without blame walks safely. But anyone who takes a crooked path will get caught.”
Proverbs 10:9, NIrV
Write a note to your child on their mirror or a sticky note on their door saying, “Be brave by being truthful with your whole life.” If they ask what you mean, talk to them about being true to who they are and not bending or changing to what their friends behaviors are like. For example, if you see someone not being kind, stand up for what is right.
DRIVE TIME
While in the car, practice celebrating everyones differences. Ask questions about favourite food, favourite music, or favourite movie. Talk about how great it is that we all like different things and be in the same family. We can be honest about the things we like!
Q & A FOR KIDS: Do you think there’s such thing as a little white lie? Why or why not?
Q&A FOR PARENTS: How do you think people describe you and your character? How would you want them to describe you?
When you don’t tell the truth, people find out. And when they find out, they might stop trusting you. Your teachers might not give you as many privileges. Your friends may not want to hang out with you. Bottom line: it’s always better to be truthful. Pray for each other, that God will give you the courage to be truthful with the people in your life.
