The girls chose a paper style they thought would look good with the letters they chose. We then helped them sound out “contentment.” They took turns finding the letters we needed and sticking them on the paper…they’re kids – the letters will not be stuck on perfect. I then cut the paper to the same size as the paper from last week. We punched a hole in the corner and stuck it on our binding clip. Each week, a new word will be added to the clip in similar fashion. I then wrote the Bible verse on the back. If your kids are older, have them do it themselves. We’ll spend this week learning the word, meaning and memorizing the scripture.
I love this!
I just read this aloud to my four kids driving home on vacation and we had a mini devotional!
Thanks for blessing me today!

Thank you for blessing me! I love that it inspired you and your family today. Thanks for that encouragement.
We worked on Contentment last month (we only do one a month) and really enjoyed it. Here is a link to one of the things we did. http://itsthelittlething.blogspot.com.au/2012/07/character-contentment.html I’m really enjoying reading your blog and often come here for inspiration when looking at our next character trait. Thanks for sharing your journey. Ainsley
Thank you so much for sharing this idea. I think I’ll use it this week and link back! I love that you are working on character also. I will look forward to seeing more from you. I see you are working on truthfulness this month. We have done honesty in the past, so if you want to search my blog for honesty, there may be some things there that will be helpful. Glad I found you!
