Virtues still count.

My goodness! What will it take to get these kids to understand obedience or even patience? In these two stories, Torri is about to learn how her disobedience can cause needless heart pain, and Foot is about to learn why impatience can lead to actual, literal pain. Well, God can play a part in helping to instill these virtues in children as well as adults. Enjoy these stories that point us to exercising virtues. Will Torri learn obedience, and Foot, patience?

As an elementary school teacher for more than seventeen years, Joanne knows that the topic of virtues should never be pushed aside or taught only occasionally to children. Virtues impact how children view their world and essentially how they will navigate life. The ninth child in a sibling bunch of ten, Joanne Thom learned these virtues from a godly mom who wisely instilled them in her children; they are still in Joanne to this day.
