A couple of weeks ago we had an issue with an inappropriate response from one child to another. A moment to make a mother proud. Or not. I decided right then and there we needed to start studying the Fruits of the Spirit.
I began looking for activities and opened our Bible to Galatians 5:22-23: But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
First we made fruit baskets with each of the labeled fruits. Today we went a step further and put fruit right on the trees.
Patrice was working on her own project and managed to cut off Abraham Lincolns’ head. You can’t win them all, all the time.
We drew trees with markers on some watercolor paper I had, then added each of the fruits of the Spirit and finally glued on buttons.
We also listened to songs about the fruit while we worked. And I am praying for fruit…
