Proverbs 16:24

Proverbs 16:24

Little Bible — for children and parents · Growth Figures · © Growth Figures. All rights reserved.

The image of the honeycomb — rich, natural, sweet, and nourishing — captures what kind words do. They do not merely feel nice; they have real restorative power for the soul and body. The connection between word-environment and health is recognized here as both spiritual and physical.

Memory phrase: Kind words heal like honey.

Talk about it: Can you think of a time when someone's kind words made you feel better?

Prayer: God, fill my mouth with pleasant words.
