Volume One

The Fruits of The Holy Spirit:Love

Hello my name Megan, I live in a little village called Galilee.

In this village everyone treats each other very nicely except for my little brother Peter.

I will be teaching Peter how to love and treat people in the village nicely just as the Bible teaches us in Galatians 5:22-23

Peter is only five years old so he does not always understand what it means to show love and treat others nicely. 

Even though mommy has taught us about the fruit of the Spirit, Peter still has a hard time practicing it.

Today at the park, Peter got into big trouble for being mean to Anna, who is only three years old. He was upset because Anna touched his hair, so he push her down.

I reminded him about how the Bible teaches us to treat others the same way we want them to treat us. So Peter felt bad and apologized to Anna and gave her a big hug. 

Volume Two

Gentleness & Kindness

During our daily walk in the forest, we talked more about the fruits of the Holy Spirit in Galations 5:22-23.

Peter, as usual, was in trouble with mom because he was pulling Anna's hair and pushing her into the bushes, so mom yelled at him to stop and told him to exercise gentleness and kindness.

But poor Peter didn't understand so I stepped in to explain in "baby" words.

I told him that gentleness is when he plays calmly with Anna without pushing her, and kindness is being nice so someone.

Peter helped Anna up and said he was sorry.

Later that day, mom and dad had to teach us again about the good fruits because I forgot to exercise self-control and hitted Peter on the head because he was bothering me.

Dad said I can't hit him just because of that, I should have told him to stop or told mom about it.

Before we went to bed, dad taught more about the fruits of the Spirit; love, joy, peace, goodness, faithfulness and patience. 

He said we have to ask the Holy Spirit to help us with growing the good fruits, especially patience because Peter and I don't know how to wait when he tells us to wait.
