Day 22 of 31
A good name
A good name is more desirable than great riches, and loving favor is better than silver and gold.
Talk about it
Your name is more than what people call you. It is what people think of when they hear it. Being known as kind and honest is worth more than all the money in the world.
Try it today
Ask a grown-up what your name means, or look it up together.
Ask at dinner
What do you want people to think of when they hear your name?
For the grown-up
A “name” here is a reputation built from character. The same chapter has 22:6, “Train up a child in the way he should go”, a verse for parents covered on our grown-ups page. Telling your child the story behind their name is a lovely way into this one.
