 Florida Restaurants Allow People to Bring Dogs
-
Bloomberg News
In response to their clientele, many Florida restaurants are allowing dogs to pull up a spot at their master's table. Pet owners say dining with dogs is a good cure for loneliness. Are dogs really "man's best friend"?
helpful hint: When things are in (parentheses) it means that is the conclusion we are trying to get at so you need to lead your child to that conclusion. Try not to answer for them.
-
Why are dogs known as good companions? What do you think makes a dog lovable? (they are loyal, predictable, unconditional, obedient . . .mute!)
-
What characteristics do you look for in a friend? What are your best friends like?
-
How are human friends different than canine companions? Why do you think people might seek out one over the other?
-
See Ephesians 4: 15. As Christians, how are we called to deal with one another? Who is our model for "speaking the truth in love"? Why does this passage say we should treat each other this way?
-
See Proverbs 27:6. What do you think are the "wounds of a friend"? Why are they "faithful"?
-
See Proverbs 27:17. How does interacting with others "sharpen" you? Share how a friend or family member's advice has helped you. Why do you think it made a difference?

The reason it stands above all of these other wonderful qualities is because they are each dependent upon courage in order to thrive.

How do you define success for your child? “Graduates from a prestigious college.” “Nabs a high-paying job.” “Settles down with a nice family.” Sounds good. But what if you got it all wrong?
What about greatness? Where does it fit in? “If you aim your children at anything less than greatness, you’ll set them up to miss the whole point of their lives,” says author Tim Kimmel. In Raising Kids for True Greatness, Kimmel turns the definition of success on its head and guides you in preparing your child for a life that will easily eclipse the goals of those who are merely successful.
