In my pursuit of a teaching my children God's word and writing it on their hearts, I wondered if G knew what God said about what we are to do with certain parts of our bodies. I wondered if she knew we were to use our hands to serve others. I wondered if she knew that God had things to say about our eyes, ears, and mouth. So, here is my idea. I wanted to draw a picture of what a "Godly Girl" looked like. I didn't have a large sheet of papers so I taped up a few in the shape of G's body to the back of her door. I then traced her outline onto the paper. Next, we drew her features and her clothes. Now for the fun part. We went on a "hunt" in God's word to see what He had to say about our bodies. We took a looked at 2 verses today. One on the HEART and one on HANDS. We wrote in the verses on the picture of G and discussed how she could "do" these things that God commanded us to do. This is hopefully going to become a daily activity, until we can't fit anythings else on our "Godly Girl". I will do one with J too, but he was napping during our project.

This is SO GREAT, Corie! I am totally going to steal!! Thank you for the fantastic idea and great job, super mom! Your kids are so blessed!!!
ReplyDeleteGREAT idea!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ladies. Lauren, I got my copy of Girl Talk and it is so encouraging and very motivating. Steal away!
ReplyDeleteThat is a good idea. I have a feeling if I did this with my boys, we'd have to draw belts and weapons around their waists!!
ReplyDeleteWell, you could "Put on the Armor of God" with your boys. That might be a little more manly.
