A Peaceful Home
TALKING TO GOD
Ask God for forgiveness if you’ve hurt a relative’s feelings or have been unkind. Then thank God for the relationships with your family and friends.
DIVING IN
What words or pictures come to mind when you think about the words “peace” and “conflict”? Talk about why peace is important to you.
GOING DEEPER
Families are made up of people with different personalities and emotions. Sometimes family members feel happy, and other times they feel angry. How a person feels should not change a family’s peaceful home. Romans 12:18 says, “If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.” This mention of everyone includes the members of your family. Getting along with those in your family may seem like a lot of work some days. But Proverbs 17:1 says that a peaceful home is a true treasure, something worth working for. “Better is a dry morsel with quiet than a house full of feasting with strife.”
TALKING TO EACH OTHER
- How should you act toward family members?
- What can you do to be a peacemaker in the family when someone is angry or upset?
- How can God’s peace fill your home, even when you disagree with each other?
