Our Tongue

Our tongue is a funny thing, it's one of the smallest members of our body, and yet it is the one thing that is nearly impossible to train. Before we realise it, we use our tongue to blurt out hurtful comments, we spread gossip, we lie and plenty of other negative things. And this was our topic for this past Friday night at DropZone.

Together we looked at some of the negative things that we say to each, and then discussed how we can use our tongue positively. Because although we can use the tongue in such negative ways, our tongue is usually used to build very positive things too. If we had no tongue we would not ever be able to tell our family that we love them, we would never be able to cheer up a friend when they are feeling down, we would never be able to share our good news.

The ability to talk with our tongue is a beautiful gift from God, and it is something that with His help we can work on taming. So the challenge for us all throughout the week is to consciously say something positive to someone every day ..... :)

And of course alongside our learning we also had a lot of fun. To help us remember the topic of the night most of our games had something to do with our tongue. Here's some pictures .......
