Bible Alive! Tuesday: Throw-up?!?!?

^{This past month at church,}

^{we have been studying Proverbs,}

^{with a focus on the virtue of}

^{Self-Control.}

^{Each week, a different Proverb.}

^{Each week, a different aspect of self-control.}

^{This past week,}

^{Proverbs 25:16 was our focus:}

^{"If you find honey,}

^{eat just enough.}

^{If you eat too much of it,}

^{you will throw up."}

 Say WHAT?!?!?

Throw-up?!?!?

Yup,

we are gonna talk about throw-up today kiddos...

***********************************************

We discussed how too much of something

can be really bad for you..

We all need to know when to STOP.

***********************************************

To illustrate the point further,

I read Eric Carle's...

...The Very Hungry Caterpillar.

After reading the story,

I emphasized to the kiddos the part of the story

in which the caterpillar gets a stomachache

after he eats a succession of foods in one day.

If he had known when the STOP,

he wouldn't have gotten a stomachache.

***********************************************

The kiddos then created...

...some "caterpillar art" as a reminder of the 

day's lesson...

 I gave them all a copy of the verse...

(You can download a copy by clicking HERE.)

...glue sticks...

 ...red, green, and small yellow paper circles...

...and markers.

They then created...

 ...their own caterpillars...

 ...which they can use as a reminder...

 ...to know when to STOP!
