Day 12 · February · Proverbs 12:14
Today's verse
“The words and the things we do are just like a boomerang: we throw them far away, but they always come back to our hand.”
Proverbs 12:14 · NIV
The Story
Do you know what a boomerang is? It's that toy you throw and it comes back. Words are like that. If you say "You're annoying!" to your friend, the boomerang comes back and brings a fight and sadness to you. If you say "You're cool, want to play?", the boomerang comes back bringing joy and company.
The Bible says we "eat" what we say. Whoever says good things and helps out (tidies up the mess) receives good things back (praise, gifts, affection).
Today's Challenge
Boomerang of Love!
Today, you have to throw 3 good words at someone (it can be "I love you," "Thank you," or "You're smart").
Throw the word and wait to see the smile that comes back to you!
