This week's proverb was "Reckless words pierce like a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing." (Proverbs 12:18) We discussed what "reckless" and "pierce" means, and about how these kinds of words are very hurtful and hard to forget if someone speaks to us in this way. I also shared with her James 3:8 which says, "...no one can tame the tongue; it is a restless evil and full of deadly poison." We talked about what wisdom is, and came up with examples of wise things to say. I helped her make these little band-aids so that she could be looking for ways to bless others with her words when she sees that they are hurting or upset.
