The boys and I are enjoying a study on Colossians 3:12. The resource is called "The Put On" chart and available through Doorposts. It comes with the chart, resource guide and very cute paper dolls (boy and girl dolls included). Following the "put on" phrase, the boy (or girl) has different clothing items that represent the virtues mentioned on Colossians 3:12 (compassion, kindness, patience, humility, meekness, forbearance, forgiveness and love).
Each item is a great way to remember to put on that virtue. For example, compassion is represented by gloves, forbearance is a backpack and patience is a watch.
We are taking it very slow and focusing on one weekly virtue. The is a great tool! I'm using it for my own quiet time as well. It gives examples of people in the Bible that displayed that virtue (of course, Jesus modeled all of them for us!), ideas for situations you can role-play with the dolls, scripture for memory, prayer guides and more.
We have a tendency at home to focus on those attitudes we need to correct. So this resource has been a blessing to me because it is helping us to spend time every day focusing on godly character that we can put on.
We are praying every week that the Lord will give us opportunities to practice these virtues with those around us.
