Book Excerpt
Chapter 4
– Just LOVE
Biblical
Explanation:
Hello Parents and Children J Dr. Donna here to talk
to you about the word Love. Love can be heard and seen all around. You
may love your parents, your school, your animal, your friends, and even your
annoying siblings! However, there is someone we must love FIRST, before
EVERYTHING… that someone is God.
God wants us to love him because God loves us! God Is
Love. God tells us that we show love by sharing, speaking kind words, and even
showing forgiveness to others who have hurt us. When you do acts of love, not
only will it cause others to feel good, but YOU will feel good too! The more
love we give, the more love we feel.
Proverbs
14:21 – It is
wrong to say bad things about your neighbors. Be kind to the poor, and you will
be blessed
Proverbs
16:24 – Kind
words are like honey; they are easy to accept and good for your health
Proverbs
25:11 – Saying the right thing at the right time is like a golden apple in a
silver setting
Parents and Children: Try this activity –
1.
Think
about a person you know who you can show love to. What is one loving thing you
can do for them this week?
2.
Then
think about someone who you don’t know that you can help. For example, Parents,
is there someone on your job who could use your assistance? Children, is there
someone in your class who could use your loving help?
Dr. Donna’s Advice for Girls/Women:
Proverbs
31:20 states: “She
always gives to the poor and helps those who need it” and Proverbs 31:26 explains: “She speaks with wisdom and teaches
others to be loving and kind.” Both verses offer
guidance to girls and women that love is shown by being generous in the words
that we speak and by the actions we demonstrate towards others
Dr. Donna’s Advice for Boys/Men:
Proverbs
15:18 verse explains that: “A quick
temper causes fights, but patience brings peace and calm.”
This verse helps us to understand that boys and men can show love by being more
patient (slow to anger)
