Would You Rather?

One activity I enjoy with children, is reading and asking questions from the 'Would You Rather?' book. Often the questions are silly, leading to fits of giggles.....'Would you rather sleep upside down like a bat, or standing up like a cow?  Sometimes the questions are more thought provoking....'Would you rather have the powers of a superhero for one day, or the power of the President of the United States for one whole year?'   Choices, Choices! 

I think one of the most powerful acts in life is the power to choose.  Think about what it means to make a choice. What we wear, eat, say, do, even what we feel all comes down to choices.  Our children are faced with so many choices everyday,  that we must take great care to teach our children the amazing power of a choice.

The 3rd and 4th grade Sunday school class at RBCC, put together a few pointers to help guide them in their choice making. 

1. Get all the information you can.

2. Imagine what will happen if you choose one way.  Imagine what will happen if you choose the other way.

3. Think of the advantages and disadvantages of each choice.

4. Ask the opinion of someone you trust.

5. Pray for God's wisdom and guidance.

6. Choose what seems the best choice to you at this time.

7. Follow through on your decision, knowing that if things change you may need to make a different choice.
