真正的善行必须符合对方的需要，否则，我们所做的事可能就像箴言25:20 所说的：“在寒冷的日子脱去人的衣服，或向忧伤的心唱歌，就如醋倒在碱上。”

主题

安慰、鼓励、感受、善良

材料

两个透明玻璃杯

½ 杯醋

1 茶匙小苏打

1 杯水

一个大托盘（防止溢出）

纸巾

活动时间

大约10分钟

课前准备

提前准备好所有材料，并最好先试做一遍。在一个玻璃杯中倒入 ½ 杯醋，另一个玻璃杯中倒入 ½ 杯水。

说明

1.做

上课前，将所有材料放在你身边。开始前，把小苏打搅入装有水的杯中。当讲解到重点时，将醋倒入装有水和小苏打的杯子中。混合后会立即产生大量泡沫，请迅速将杯子放入托盘中防止溢出。

⚠️ 注意安全：

醋和小苏打混合会产生二氧化碳，形成泡泡并可能溢出。此实验应在成人监督下进行，并保持安全距离。不要使用超过建议量的材料。

2.说

你看见一个人在寒冷的冬天没有外套。此时，哪种行为更有“善意”？是为他唱一首温暖的歌？还是给他一件外套？（请孩子回答）

如果你的兄弟或姊妹生病在床，你会怎么表示关心？是告诉他/她等康复后能玩多开心？还是陪他一起待在床边，哪怕有点无聊？（请孩子回答）

如果你最好的朋友刚刚失去了奶奶，你会怎样表达爱？是讲笑话让他开心？还是陪他一起流泪？（请孩子回答）

箴言25:20这样说：

“在寒冷的日子脱去人的衣服，或向忧伤的心唱歌，就如醋倒在碱上。”

意思是说——当我们想要安慰一个伤心的人时，如果只是让他“开心一点”，其实可能是在做错事。真正的善行，必须符合对方当下的需要。否则，就像在寒天脱人衣服，或在悲伤时唱错调的歌，或者——就像把醋倒在小苏打上！

现在，我们一起来看看这节经文的画面。（举起装有水和小苏打的玻璃杯）

这是“碱”，或可以想成一个人的心，看起来很平静。（展示醋）而这就是“醋”——看似无害，但加入后会怎样？（将醋倒入杯中，泡沫迅速冒出）

看见了吗？一片混乱！

这说明，真正的善行要“对味”，要体贴、要帮助、要合宜。否则，就像把醋倒进小苏打里——看似想帮忙，结果却弄得一团糟。

💡 总结：善良不是“做我想做的事”，而是“做对方真正需要的事”。

Real Acts of Kindness

Real kindness must match what the other person needs. Otherwise, what we do may be like pouring vinegar on soda as described in Proverbs 25:20.

TOPICS:

Comfort, Encouragement, Feelings, Kindness

MATERIALS:

2 clear drinking glasses1/2 cup vinegar1 teaspoon baking soda1 cup waterlarge tray/pan for spills, paper towels

DURATION:

Approximately 10 minutes

PREPARATION:

Gather all of the items you will need beforehand. It may also be helpful to perform a "trial run" before class. Put 1/2 cup of vinegar into one of the clear drinking glasses. Put 1/2 cup of water into the other clear drinking glass.

WHAT YOU WILL DO:

Have all of the items near you. Stir the baking soda into the glass of water just before beginning the object talk. Later during the talk, you will pour the vinegar into the glass with the water and baking soda mixture. Immediately it will bubble over, so be prepared to quickly set the glass in the tray.

Caution: Mixing vinegar and baking soda creates carbon dioxide, which forms bubbles that can overflow the glass. This object talk should only be performed under adult supervision and at a safe distance from onlookers. Do not use more than the suggested amounts of ingredients.

WHAT YOU WILL SAY:

Suppose you saw a man on a very cold day in the middle of winter without a coat. Would it be a better act of kindness to sing him a nice warm and soothing song, or to give him a coat? (Allow for answers.)

Suppose your brother or sister is sick and must stay in bed. Would it be a better demonstration of kindness to tell them about how much fun they can have after they get better, or to sit there with them, perhaps being a little bored together? (Allow for answers.)

Suppose your best friend’s grandmother just died. Would it a better act of kindness to tell them jokes to lift their spirits and try to make them laugh, or to weep with them? (Allow for answers.)

In Proverbs 25:20 (NKJV) we read, “Like one who takes away a garment in cold weather, and like vinegar on soda, is one who sings songs to a heavy heart.”

In other words, if we think we can relieve those in sorrow by trying to make them happy, we may be doing the wrong thing. Real acts of kindness must match what the other person needs. Otherwise, it will be like taking away someone’s coat on a cold day, or like singing a song at the wrong time, or as the verse says, like vinegar on soda. Why do you think that's in the Bible?

Well, I just happen to have some vinegar and soda here. (Show the glass filled with the water and soda mixture)

This is soda, perhaps not the kind you like, but still drinkable. Now, let’s say this soda represents someone's spirit, or soul if you like. It appears calm, right? There is not much going on. But what happens when we add something that is not appropriate. Like this vinegar. (Show the vinegar)

It doesn’t look too bad. It kind of looks the same. However, the Bible says that taking away someone's coat on a cold day, or singing a song to a heavy heart is like vinegar on soda. So let’s see what happens.

(Pour the vinegar into the soda – Get ready to move the glass to the tray to avoid spills)

So you see, the right kind of kindness is important. It must match what the other person needs. Your act of kindness must be helpful, considerate, and desirable, otherwise who knows, it may be like pouring vinegar into soda. And that can be a mess!
