As a mama of three littles, I needed a tangible (and daily!) way for my children to hide God's truth in their hearts. The Armor of God printable was created and used as part of their morning routine. I laminated the armor pieces and stuck Velcro dots on the back, with matching dots to a mirror. Now every morning, they practice "putting" on their armor by sticking the pieces to the dots. It's been a visual reminder for them to guard their hearts and minds, to stand firm in their faith, and to remember that the authority to resist evil comes from Jesus. As my 5 year old said (after a nightmare), "I am a child of God, you cannot be near me!".
Incorporating the Armor of God into our family's routine has been an incredible resource and I pray your children's faith will increase as well.

In her book, Growing Grateful Kids, Susie Larson says, "What will we do with those formative years? Will we bless or will we curse? Will we build equity into our influence to set our children up for success? Or will we drain the authority God has entrusted to us by misusing our privileged authority? Will we speak life to them, or will our words and choices drain life from them?".
That's a lot of responsibility, but also, what an honor! As parents, we get to show our children who God is and how God sees them. We get to instill value and encourage them, breathing life and calling them into who God created them to be.

The Fruit of the Spirit is an important metric to help us model our character after Jesus; they are a product of leading a life that honors God. They are also important to refer to in parenting, but it can be hard to remember them all in the heat of the moment. This watercolor 8.5"x11" poster is designed to be hung where you can refer to it regularly, and includes more in-depth definitions to help them become more actionable.
