--Sorting through hundreds of photos taken over the past year
--Selecting nine photos of each of the girls that we meet with weekly
--Making 'review' slips
--Gathering together all of the supplies: paper, sheet protectors, photo corners, scissors, glue sticks, stickers, etc.
And what was the result?
Scrapbooking!
Which is what we did yesterday with the girls, and they had so much fun! Not only did each of the girls have photos to scrapbook, but they also had several colored slips of paper with qualities that we have learned about printed on them as well as an accompanying Scripture verse . . .

Fears the Lord
"Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised." Proverbs 31:30

Obedient
--is to be submissive to authority; yielding compliance to commands or orders; performing what is required, or abstaining from what is forbid.
"Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right." Ephesians 6:1

Gracious
A heart of caring for others
"A Gracious woman attains honor . . ." Proverbs 11:16a
A gracious young lady speaks:
-Sweet words that edify
-Kind words that comfort
-Warm words that sympathize
-Sincere words that encourage
-Honest words that shun deceit
-Words that show mercy and compassion
-Words that show humility and gentleness
-Words that are loving, kind and unselfish*

Gentle and Quiet Spirit
"Your adornment must not be merely external - braiding the hair, and wearing gold jewelry, or putting on dresses; but let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in the sight of God." 1 Peter 3:3-4

The scrapbook pages are all completed now and next week the girls will be writing in them, putting the pages in sheet protectors and then making them into a 'book' (we use ribbon to tie the pages together). They are looking forward to that!
