Operational Definitions of Character Qualities

I LOOOVE the TLC reality show about the Duggar Family! I love that they have 19 kids and all of them are sane, normal children (so far). they have such a gift of generosity. i truly believe that the example that both of the parents set (Jim-Bob and Michelle Duggar) is why the kids have so easily followed in their footsteps. I enjoy their thriftiness, modesty, and their willingness to show that this is how they are and they are not going to change. i think the most that has changed since the beginning of the series is the girls hair. but they are still very Conservative. side-thought: i wonder how many of the boys will grow up to join the military. i wouldn't be surprised since they are a very service hearted family.

i want to grow all these character qualities in my children as well. and because we have a much smaller family (less positive examples for the little ones to see) and we do not home school our children, i think the "world-view" is seen through my children's eyes a ton more than the "Christ-centered-view" that I'd prefer them to be seeing. so by whatever means necessary I will take every step I can to teach my children positive character qualities. that's why I thought this chart was so awesome. i found it on the Duggar Family website. i printed it out and will be putting it into a lovely frame to be hung in our hallway. it has the positive character quality vs. the negative opposite, the definition and a verse to go with all 49 Character Qualities and here is the chart on the website for you to print out as well.
