This is the final post in my Fruit of the Spirit series, and I hope you’ll stop by over here where it will go live on January 1st, 2014.
I honestly believe that God delayed this post intentionally. He has been working on this fruit in me for quite awhile now, and I don’t know that I would have been ready to write it any earlier.
Temperance is important in each of our lives and is greatly lacking in our world and society. We have the ability to change the world’s direction by teaching our children the discipline and use of temperance. What we often forget when we tell our kids that we “expect more” from them, is that much of what they’ve learned is from us. We must seek God and His wisdom in helping our children learn temperance at a young age.
Oh yes, I could use a lot more temperance in my life. Great post and thanks for the reading suggestions. I’ll check them out!
Yes, me too! You’re very welcome! I love finding books that I believe could really help others! Blessings!
Excellent explanation of Temperance, Misty. I love the practical where-we-live application.
Thanks Pamela! I’m going to be working on some printables from this study hopefully soon! 🙂 Blessings!
Thank you for hosting and for the awesome temperance series….

Great post! We need to learn self control in so many areas of our lives don’t we…and it can be so hard…Walking in the Spirit is not an easy thing. Oh how we need Him for sure. Thank you also for the link up. Have a blessed week!
It is so true, learning self control is not easy, but can you imagine how different our world would be if we all practiced it?!? Just the thought of it blows my mind! Thanks so much for stoppin by and linking up! Blessings!

This is such a good study on temperance. I remember thinking how complicated to have to teach my children the same lessons that I was learning too!! Thanks so much for hosting today.
It really is?!? Sometimes I get just want to throw my hands up in the air because I see them doing the very same things I do wrong 🙁 Yet, I am reminded that talking them through why it is wrong and admitting I’m wrong is essential in teaching them. Thanks for stoppin by hun! Blessings!
Misty, this is an excellent post and the tips – are something I need to have framed in my home. You should create a printable!
🙂 That is something that is on my to do soon list 😉 I’m working on doing a lot more printables for my series’. 🙂 Thanks for the reminder to get moving a bit quicker! 🙂 Blessings sis!
