Building Character!

Since Caleb has been in school instead of attending to service at our local church on Wednesday nights during the school year, we have a family lesson time at home.  I knew when he was in kindergarten that going would make a late night for him and many nights he was asleep by 7:45.  This plan has worked well for us.  The teacher in me likes planning the lessons.  I have found many of the ideas online and I love putting the lessons together.  The first year I did a different topic each month pretty much.  Last year was different with our move, but I found some good lessons to do week by week on a website.  We have done the Fruit of the Spirit, Creation, and Armor of God to name a few topics.   
In the summer I read a book by Jill Savage called My Heart's at Home (which reminds me I need to do my book review on this great resource).  In it she included a list of character qualities from the Bible, and the list is from the Association of Christian Schools International.  It gives a character trait, definition, verse, and example story of Jesus showing that character quality.

I thought this would be great for our Wednesday night lessons this year as we have started a new school year.  We have done two of these lessons so far.  I have found it such a great way to learn from each other and thought I might share some of these lessons here on my blog from time to time, maybe on Fridays! 

Have a day of blessings!
