Wise Examples
Wise Example Site
Once you have reached the Christianity Today Web site, type the word "wise" into the search box at the top right of the home page. Click on "search," and watch as the results come in. Scroll down the list of articles that describe Christians who have displayed wisdom. If you see one that you really like, ask a member of the family to read the first part of the article aloud.
Discuss the following questions as a family:•
What principles of God did the person follow? What did you learn about wisdom?
• What guidelines does God give in his Word to equip us in our search for wisdom?
Spend a few moments in prayer, thanking God for the Bible. Wisdom can be learned by following the principles given in God's Word.

Website Wisdom
Wisdom is important in so many areas. One of those areas where it is becoming increasingly important is the internet. Use the following activity to discuss this with your kids :)
Website Wisdom Link (also an awesome site for kids to explore on their own !!!!)
Let the children in the family take the lead by clicking on any of the areas listed on the left side of the screen: stories to crafts-it's all OK because these links have been carefully selected for kid surfers!
Allow the surfers to answer the following questions:
• What was it like to surf at this site?
• Why should we use wisdom in choosing which Web sites to explore?
• How can we use wisdom when making choices in everyday life?

The Wisdom to do what's right
This week in the ministries of First Kids, we are talking more about Solomon. We have been mostly focusing on the need for wisdom. Wisdom is using what we know to make good choices. In other words it is knowing what is wrong and what is right. It has been great to get to talk about how God gives us wisdom through people, prayer, and the Bible. I encourage you as parents to take time to read about Solomon and to also read the proverbs. I have personally found the Book of Proverbs to provide some great devotion time by providing me with small pieces of advice and wisdom and then taking it and reflecting on that wisdom and how it applies to my life.
I challenge you also to use the upcoming posts for the week to do devotions and spend time with your family growing in Christ.
