Love is…………………..
I decided to pick love 1st for the 1st Fruit of the Spirit because of Valentine’s Day. We have been reviewing it for over a week. I picked out in JJ’s Children’s Bible the following verses & we read each one daily.
I choose verses that teach about us to love & how God loves us.
John 3:16 – Jesus Loves You
John 10:11-14 Jesus, the Good Shepherd
Matthew 19:13-14, Mark 10:13-16, Luke 18:15-17 Jesus Loves Children
Ephesians 3:18-19 God’s Great Big Love
Colossians 3:23 Working for Jesus
1st we made a Love is…………… tree 1 Corinthians 13:4-7
I cut out a tree trunk & braches, strips of paper & a heart
I had my son write on each tree branch what love is
Then I had him write out what love is from 1 Corinthians 13:4:7
We are going to keep our love tree hanging up all year round so I can refer my son back to this tree using God’s word to for teaching & instructing.
I also printed this Jesus loves me mini book for him to color & staple together for him to keep.
This is a wonderful activity for learning the fruits of the spirit. I will have to do this with my kids, love it!
Oh I love that! What a great idea for teaching the Fruits of the Spirit!
Great idea! I cant believe he would sit and write that much! Way to go little man!
These are such wonderful lessons!
I need to get my grandson to read your blog with me. He loves to make things and he could follow along!
Thanks!

Such great activities. I think the Love tree is such an excellent idea and your son certainly came up with some very wise responses for this.
This is a great idea-thank you for sharing this! Holly
What a great way to explain this concept!
Precious!
I love the love tree. Thanks for sharing another great idea!
I “love” your “love” tree- it’s truly a “lovely” idea…(Now, you would just “love” it if I stopped using the word “love”, wouldn’t you?)
Cute!
I love your blog! It is so good to see Christian parents raising their children the right way–the way of the Lord!
I just started blogging and reviewing and I need followers badly. I followed you. Please stop by my blog and enter my giveaway and follow me too. Thanks, mimilovesall8.blogspot.com
