This week we learned what James had to say about how to speak more "slowly" by controlling our tongue. What a powerful but tiny part of our body, able to leap tall buildings in a single bound! Well, that may be a stretch, but our tongue can easily throw us into the depths of despair by speaking too quickly. We learned how the tongue can be used to direct us on the right path - much like the bit in a horse or the rudder on a ship. But it can also be the "spark" that starts a wild brushfire and destroys everything in its path!
So our challenge this week is to find a phrase/quote/mantra that your family will adopt and use often, to provide yourself and your kids with the direction that God would have us go. Some ideas to help you get started:
- Guard your heart.
- Be a blessing.
- Be a leader.
- Know who (or whose) you are.
Look forward to hearing your "family phrase" this Saturday!
