Reason Chosen: Our house hasn’t seemed very peaceful this last week. The girls have always gotten along well. It has been a blessing. However, recently they seem to have figured out how to aggravate each other. Most of the time they do OK, but it definitely has become apparent that living in harmony with each other is something that needs to be a focus. My kids have also had a lot of verbal energy lately…very loud voices. It’s something I want to try and tame a bit. God wants us to live in peace – both within our spirit and within our relationships. It takes us partnering with Him to make it happen.
Word Ring
At the beginning of each week, the craft will be exactly the same because we will simply be adding a new word to our already established word ring.
Materials Needed
* Stock Card Paper (I had a whole stack like this – found at any craft store)
* Assorted Sticker Letters (I just bought a bunch on clearance at Michael’s)
* Binder Clips (Craft Store)
* Paper Cutter or Scissors
* Hole Punch
The girls chose a paper style they thought would look good with the letters they chose. We then helped them sound out “Peace.” 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.
