Wisdom Booklet 27 ~* Character Quality Ws

Today we completed our character quality worksheet for Cautiousness~* knowing how important right timing is in accomplishing right actions.

We then began to study Character Sketchs from Volume 3 ~* Cautiouness. We studied the prairie dog & looked at Barnabas. Our focus cautiousness is living within the protection of my God-given resources.The kids then did a character sketch coloring page. I could not find my crossward book for this volume so I will have to purchase another one for the older students.

Wisdom Booklet 27 ~* Meditation Worksheet

Today we completed the Meditation Worksheet. I reminded them the purpose of this worksheet is not only to do a complete verse study looking at the Greek & using tools but to meditate on the verse as we go through the WB. I pray the Holy Spirit is their teacher all month bringing up the verse all their lives.
I began to read "The Hiding Place"about Corrie Ten Boom as a read aloud today. It is recommended reading for the WB (History projects) so I choose this as the read aloud for this WB. The children are familiar with the story since my hubby read to them as a read aloud Corrie Ten Boom Keeper of the Angel's Den by Janet & Geoff Benge in the past.

We then worked on our Pennsylvania postcard facts. We are apart of a state postcard swap with homeschoolers around the country. We are enjoying getting postcards from all the states.Some are homemade while others are bought.They all have interesting facts and I can't wait to sit down and read them all. In the meantime we are enjoying getting them in the mail. Our turn to send out postcards from PA is coming up so today I ordered the postcards and we sat down and worked together on writing some of the PA facts we thought are cool to print on the post cards. We do live in a great state that is rich in history & its very foundation was built on Christ!!!

Here is a picture of just some of the great postcards we have received so far :O)

Wisdom Booklet 27 ~* Wisdom Quiz

I have not posted since last Wed. We have been very busy. My husband and I went away for "A Weekend To Remember" sponsored by Family Life Today.http://www.familylife.com/site/c.dnJHKLNnFoG/b.5846045/k.8C0A/Weekend_to_Remember__Marriage_Getaway.htm?fromhp=WTRstatic I would recommend this to any marriage couple!!!!! It will sure be a wedding gift to my children if & when they get married. It was a beautiful ending for me with the past Wisdom Booklet study on marriage. God's timing is always perfect and I praise Him for my husband who truly is a gift to me. We are so excited and our vision has been challenged in reaching our community for Christ one family at a time! IBLP & Family Life both have such excellent tools in building strong families on the rock and so much more that I praise God for the tools He has given us.That was a perfect way to end WB26 :O) There is nothing better than a weekend alone with your hubby and Christ the center of it. Our relationship with Christ & each other is truly sweeter as the years go by!

So today we began Wisdom Booklet 27.
Major Concept: Truthfulness Requires Few Words
Verse: Mathew 5:33-37 ...But let your communication be, yea, yea: Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil'
Character focus: Cautiousness~* knowing how important right timing is in accomplishing right actions
Theme song: I know whom I have Believed"

Today was a light day.We discussed the major concept and did the Wisdom Quiz. I enjoy hearing the wise answers to the quiz from my children when we go through the quiz together.The whole purpose of the Wisdom Booklets is that they learn Godly wisdom. Colossians 1:9-10 desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding. That ye might walk worthy walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God.

We spent the rest of the day working on the 3Rs & trying to get the house back in order.

NEWS! I received the IBLP winter catalog and was excited to see the dates for next years ATI conferences. I am hoping and praying it is God's timing for us to go this year!!! Maybe Nashville so we can go to the Creation Museum too :O)
