Thank you SO much for sharing this. We are beginning school soon for the year and will be joining you in using these devotions. I appreciate all the work you have put into it and it is truly lovely of you to share with us. :)<br /><br />I am so excited about this because it allows me to delve deeper into this topic with my children aged four and three! Last year I cut out fruit shapes labeled with the Fruit of the Spirit and displayed them in plastic sheet protectors. We spent one week on each fruit, singing the "Hide "Em in Your Hearts" songs, and talking daily about how we can show/use this fruit. (We went on to cover other topics like the Ten Commandments, The Lord's Prayer, etc.) This will be the perfect way to revisit these important lessons on a more personal and reflective level than we did last year. I also love the way it provides example and encouragement for little ones to devote time to journals and pursuing a walk with the Lord.<br /><br />Your blog has been a blessing in so many ways to me as we endeavor to raise our little ones in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. May you be richly blessed!<br /><br />Sincerely,<br /><br />Mrs. RebekahAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617895.post-26074506481461046342009-08-22T18:25:02.016-04:002009-08-22T18:25:02.016-04:00Monica,
Thank you so much for sharing your study ...Monica, <br />Thank you so much for sharing your study with all of us. I just finished studying the fruits of the spirits with my little girls this summer we had so much fun! You can see some of what we did here: http://joyineverystep.blogspot.com/2009/05/our-summer-bible-study.html<br /><br />My little ones are 1, 3, & 5, so I know this is something we will be studying again. I am book marking all your posts, so that when that time comes I can include your wonderful idea.<br /><br />I greatly enjoy your blog. I read it often just do not get a chance to comment much. <br />AnnaAnnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10475654848792451614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617895.post-74705981256951915402009-08-20T22:48:37.843-04:002009-08-20T22:48:37.843-04:00What a wonderful study.

It's called preschool but it's actually through six years old so I have a wide range of abilities and attention spans :o) I am going to adapt your plans to my class.Mrs. Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10385623160520451175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617895.post-70565117994471437532009-08-17T11:46:33.904-04:002009-08-17T11:46:33.904-04:00Oops, and one more thing I forgot to add. :-) I ...Oops, and one more thing I forgot to add. :-) I gleaned new ideas from others sharing their back to school traditions! Thanks! <br />For us: <br />* The night before school starts the children get to eat dinner out of their new lunch boxes, and if it's feasible, we have that dinner spent at a park with a picnic and playtime on the last eve of summer.<br />* 1st day of school morning has Daddy making them a special breakfast<br />* And to welcome them home from the 1st day, I take a square envelope with the flap open, and draw on the front to make a house (it is already in the house shape when you open the flap) and write HOME SWEET HOME on it. On the other side, they find treats in the pocket of the envelope. This could also be used when they come home from a weekend overnight at Grandma's, or other such things. :)joysmallpackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09592834616546273455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617895.post-59919559503348350732009-08-17T11:37:59.269-04:002009-08-17T11:37:59.269-04:00Monica, This is just awesome!

Thank you very, very much for sharing with us the results of all the time and care that you have put into investing in this!!! The fruit of the spirit is so applicable every single day in life =) -- we are going to appreciate having it more on the forefront of our minds through this children's study. (ME included!!!) <br /><br />A note from previous posts of yours... I also loved your TEAM family night and want to feature that here in our house soon too. <br />And, from a ways back, I was thrilled to see how special it was for you to be at your Dad's marathon and was so glad for you to be a part of that. As for the other day with Pike's Peak, so neat-- a cheer team in his family is probably the best gift ever.<br /><br />Have a very good day Monica!!
