7 Devotions and Activities for Dads and Their KidsSample

Bonfires and Kind Words
Activity: Build a bonfire in the backyard or a local campground with your kids. Don’t forget the hot dogs and s’mores!
How many times have we said something that hurt another person? The Bible makes it clear that while our tongue is a small part of our body, it can burn like fire when we speak unkind words. Often we think our words are not that big of a deal, but we fail to see the other person’s perspective. Our words are like toothpaste squeezed from a tube. Once they come out, we cannot put them back in.
Remember that words, like a fire, can make us warm or can hurt us.Has something someone said hurt your feelings? Have you said something that hurt someone else’s feelings? Can you establish a secret code word like toothpaste for when someone says something that might be hurtful?
Dear God, help us to remember to speak kind words to others, encouraging them.
