Day 26 · January · Proverbs 26:18
Today's verse
“A joke is only good when everyone laughs. If someone cries, it's not a joke, it's meanness.”
Proverbs 26:18 · NIV
The Story
Imagine someone throws a rock at you, it hurts a lot, and then they say: "Oh, I was only joking!" Does that make the pain go away? No! The rock hurts the same, whether it was a joke or not.
The Bible says whoever plays mean "pranks," scares others, or tells lies just to laugh is shooting dangerous arrows. God doesn't like "rough play" or words that leave a friend sad.
Today's Challenge
Today, the rule is: Laugh TOGETHER. If you're going to play around or tell a jok
Today, the rule is: Laugh TOGETHER. If you're going to play around or tell a joke, look at your friend's or sibling's face. Are they smiling too? If they look sad, stop right away and say sorry. A wise kid makes others happy, not makes them cry!
Whoever completes it becomes the Wisdom Guardian of day 26!
