LIFE APP:
PEACE – Proving you care more about each other than winning an argument

DO THIS:

BED TIME

Read Genesis 13:5-18. Think about a situation that happened recently where you didn't think something was fair. Did you push to get what was “fair”? What would happen to your relationships if you did? Pray for each other and ask God to give you the grace and wisdom to know when to let go of what’s fair in order to make peace.

MEAL TIME

Q & A for kids: If you had to pick one for the rest of your life, would you rather always get the last word in an argument or always get the bigger piece of cake?
Q & A for parents: When you were a kid, who did you find it hardest to stay at peace with? Why do you think that is?

DRIVE TIME

Make a peace challenge the entire month to not argue in the car with siblings, parents, or friends. As a group, pick a special prize (gift card, toy, candy, etc.) and put it in the car as a reminder to keep the peace. Whoever does the best job keeping peace throughout the month, will win the prize!

MORNING TIME

Leave a note in your kid's backpack with the question, "How can you be a peacemaker today?" Remind them of a positive peacemaking quality they have in the note as encouragement or inspiration.
