Teach your kids about the Fruit of the Spirit!
Discover the joy of learning about the Fruit of the Spirit alongside your family with these beautifully illustrated devotional cards. Each card features one of the nine fruits that reflect the character of Christ, complete with a Scripture reading and an explanation of the significance of each fruit. Dive deeper with a short devotion and discussion questions to engage your whole family.
These cards remind your family of the qualities God wants to cultivate in our lives through the Holy Spirit. They are especially helpful for children struggling with emotions or needing encouragement to embody these traits in everyday situations.
What is the Fruit of the Spirit? As explained in Galatians 5:22-23, the fruit is:
- Love
-
Joy
-
Peace
-
Patience
-
Kindness
-
Goodness
-
Faithfulness
-
Gentleness
-
Self-control
Each fruit of the Spirit has the same beginning letter as the fruit that is illustrated: love/lemon, joy/juniper berries, peace/peach, patience/pear, kindness/kiwi, goodness/grapes, faithfulness/fig, gentleness/grapefruit, and self-control/strawberries.
We've also included a card with the Scripture passage, Galatians 5:22-23, and a memorization tool to help your family hide God's Word in your hearts.
How do families use these cards?
- Use the cards each morning to guide your family's devotion time. Read the Scripture and devotion to your children over breakfast, then discuss the question(s) together.
- Create a garland of cards using twine and clothespins or tape them to a door or window as a reminder to cultivate these godly traits.
-
Engage in activities that illustrate each fruit. For example, have a "kindness day" where you and your children perform acts of kindness in your community or at home.
