"Instruct the wise, and they become still wiser; teach the just, and they advance in learning. The beginning of wisdom is fear of the LORD, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding." - Proverbs 9:9-10
At our last Little Flowers Girls' Club in May, these girls put together their scrapbooks for the year. Throughout each month as they work on learning about a new virtue and receive a flower petal patch for that virtue, they also make a scrapbook page. The page has information about that virtue with pictures, quotes, and Bible verses. At the end of the year, these girls had fun putting it all together as a keepsake. Additionally, the girls themselves took photos at this meeting and we are posting their photos.
"Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, as in all wisdom you teach and admonish one another, singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God." -Colossians 3:16
