Day 16 of 31
Words like honey
Pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.
Talk about it
A honeycomb is where bees keep their honey. Kind, pleasant words are sweet like honey and help people feel better inside. You can give someone honey with your words today.
Try it today
Give three “honey words” today: say something kind to three people.
Ask at dinner
What is the kindest thing someone said to you this week?
For the grown-up
“Health to the bones” is the Proverbs way of saying words affect the whole person (see also 12:25 and 17:22). If you have honey at home, a taste of it with this verse makes it stick. Notice and name your child’s kind words when you hear them.
