The Love Chapter

My kids have been really at each other lately. It's quite annoying, aggravating, and sad. So...our new scripture memory is I Corinthians 13. The love chapter. Actually the kids are just learning the 15 things that love is and isn't; does and does not do.

I have a large poster with the list on a wall close to the table where we have been doing school. We read from it daily. It's been fun to hear them begin to say some of it independently. All I have to start saying is, "Love is..." and they chime in "patient and kind". They are getting the rest slowly.

It is changing their behavior a bit, I am happy to say. It won't take long and they will have all 15 memorized....and hopefully living them out as best as they can.

Learn longer sections of scripture with your kids....all of you will benefit greatly from it!

What a wonderful idea! At almost every ladies class meeting, the ladies bring up at least one piece of wisdom that you shared with them! It brings back so many memories...we miss you! Keep sharing your ideas so we can implement them into our family!
