A "Tasty" Lesson About Words

Posted in The Academy

This year in My Fathers World curriculum that we are using we are memorizing  passages in Proverbs. Yesterday we began to memorize Prov 16:24 "Pleasant words are like honeycomb, sweet to the soul and heling to the bones."

As a sampling of what pleasant and unpleasant words are like I did an example. First I let our boys have a taste of honey. Mmmmm it is so good!! They wanted more!  Then, I let them taste an unknown substance that was bitter (vinegar). Yeuch . . . pleack . . . Give me some water.  So, I told them that maybe we would have a new phrase in our house - "Are your words honey words or vinegar words?" And as with many rules in our house they apply to mom and dad too.

That's what the Academy is all about - we're ALL becoming more Christ like.
