Devotional and "ah-hah!" on Civility

We had a devotional this morning on the power of words, a follow-up in our series of devotionals to learn more about civility and how it blesses society on so many levels.  We watched:



Civility short from values.com

We discussed some other things (especially how words and actions can affect a home, a community and a nation--can we say "presidential elections"?) and watched this:


Piper's reflection was summed up by this: "Sometimes I think that people are like a container.  And they just don't feel complete inside.  And when you say a comment it's like mixing it up and adding something to it.  And you don't see the difference on the outside but you made a whole new world on the inside."

Many times, no one will say anything.  I will share something short or we may have several people share things. I have had a little "reflection treat" ("reflecting is sweet!" I say) like a Hershey's Kiss or the like for afterward.

Someone asked where I get my videos.  Heaven helps me, literally, and God will help you too!  I love lds.org, values.com and then I use youtube a lot to find videos by plugging in phrases like "civility" or "brain video for kids."  I know there is a lot of garbage on there but there is a lot of goodness and I love it when other people's "art" can teach the souls of my children!
