We had a really fun meeting last week, discussing how to keep from arguing and disputing. It was a really good topic to reflect on, share notes on what we had learned in this area and give advice to those who were in difficult situations.
The first question we each answered when we arrived at Bright Lights was: When was the last time you had an argument and how did it happen? Unfortunately, though most of us would argue (hehe) that we don't have a problem in this area, we realised that every one of us had had an argument either that day or the day before.
Anyway, Leah came up with a great activity to reinforce this lesson and here's what we did!
Activity: How Not To Argue...
1) The girls should be split into groups of twos or fours.
2) They, each group, should be given a handwritten scenario of a common argument*.
1) The girls should be split into groups of twos or fours.
2) They, each group, should be given a handwritten scenario of a common argument*.
3) The girls must act out the scenario that has been given to them, and the correction of that scenario.
After the three steps above, have a short discussion asking the following three questions:
- How could you have kept the argument from starting?
- How could you have stopped the argument from continuing?
- How could you have corrected things after the argument in order to keep bitterness/anger at bay?
Do all things without complaining and disputing. That you may be blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world. - Philippians 2:14
