Today's verse
“A true friend warns you when your shoelace is untied so you don't fall. A false friend lets you fall just so they don't have to bother you.”
Proverbs 28:23 · NIV
The Story
Imagine you're running and your shoelace comes undone. Then a friend comes and shouts: "Hey! Stop! Tie your shoe!" Sometimes it feels annoying to have to stop playing, right? But if they hadn't warned you, you'd have tripped and scraped your knee! The friend who warned you (corrected you) saved you from getting hurt.
The Bible says whoever warns us about a mistake is more of a friend than someone who only compliments us and lets us do something silly. Whoever corrects us, loves us!
Today's Challenge
Today, if Mom or Dad point something out to you ("Don't do that!", "Watch ou
Today, if Mom or Dad point something out to you ("Don't do that!", "Watch out!"), don't get upset. Remember the shoelace! Say: "Thank you for warning me and taking care of me!" That's being really smart!
Whoever completes it becomes the Wisdom Guardian of day 28!
