Main Point: I Will Say Kind Words!

Bible Story: Christmas through the eyes of Elizabeth. (Luke 1:39 -56)

Family Activity:

 Read The Bible Story Together: Elizabeth (Luke 1:39-56)

Ask your children to share with you a time when they felt like someone was speaking unkindly to them.

 Yes, You Can

While Mary was facing a very difficult time, Elizabeth was there to encourage her. As a family, work together this week to use kind words and encourage each other. When you hear your children using good words, make sure to praise them and tell them what a good job they are doing. Play the opposite game as a family. Sit in a circle together. One person should take a turn and say something that is not kind or encouraging. Another person should say something opposite of what was said that would be encouraging. For example, you might say, “I don’t believe you can ride your bike well.” Then have your child say something encouraging such as, “I think you are a great bike rider!” Encourage your children to think before they speak and work to be an encourager to others.

 

See you next Sunday!!
