Fruit of the Spirit

At Bible study our teacher talked about the Fruit of the Spirit this past week. She has mentioned it other times, and I thought it would be such a great scripture to work on with Drew. I decided we would make a poster with the verse on it and a bowl for the fruit. Drew helped me to come up with what fruit to use, then I wrote on the back of each of them one of the "fruits" so that, for example, the grapes are "self-control". When I see Drew exhibit one of these fruits he gets to go and put the fruit in the bowl. At the end of the day we talk about what fruits he exhibited that day. He gets a little treat for each fruit. (this week it's 1 M&M/fruit) He thinks it's fun! We also came up with a little song with motions so he can learn the verse. We've been performing it each night for daddy, and practicing it in the car when we go places. If I could ever figure out how to upload a video I would show you, but for now, just close your eyes and picture it in your head. :) I wanted to share this because I LOVE getting ideas from other moms on sharing the Word with my children, so maybe this will spark some ideas for some of you other moms, or maybe you can share some of your ideas with me. I'm always eager to hear and learn....
