1 Corinthians 13:4-7 {New International Version}

⁴ Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

⁵ It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. ⁶ Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. ⁷ It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

*Stallone Tested and Approved: {We are so lucky to have Stallone, Annie’s son, test out all of our lessons that we create for you.  We want the lessons to be enjoyable for children, so after each lesson we will post how Stallone did with the lesson in italics under the title, Stallone Tested and Approved}:

Stallone loved this lesson today!  He had a blast decorating his hearts and learning the word Love.  He used Love in a sentence by telling Annie, "Mommy, I love you!" He was so proud to hang his banner up in his playroom today!  This lesson is a lot of fun.  Try it with your child today!
