Sweetness For The Soul
TALKING TO GOD
While praying together, take turns thanking God for your favourite food.
DIVING IN
Stick a sheet of paper on the wall. Draw a simple platter on the paper and invite family members to draw two of their favourite desserts on the platter. All of these desserts will combine to be one spectacular, yet imaginary, family dessert. Now ask your child to make a name up for this treat.
GOING DEEPER
It’s fun to imagine all your favourite desserts in the same place at the same time. And while this may be fun to imagine, it wouldn’t be healthy to actually eat all those goodies. Self-control keeps you from making poor eating choices; at the same time, it helps you learn to appreciate things that are better for you. Have you ever considered developing a taste for wisdom? Proverbs 24:13-14 says it like this: “My son, eat honey, for it is good, and the drippings of the honeycomb are sweet to your taste. Know that wisdom is such to your soul; if you find it, there will be a future, and your hope will not be cut off.” Just as eating your favourite desserts can be pleasant, so exercising wisdom in your choices can have a sweet influence on your life now and in the future.
TALKING TO EACH OTHER
- How can wisdom be sweet to your soul in the same way desserts are sweet to your taste?
- How can you find wisdom?
