The Spirit As A Believer Of Christ, Future Educator, And...

As a believer in Christ, future educator, as well as future mother I believe there is an absolute correlation between the fruits of the Spirit as seen in Galatians 5:22-23 to care giving. In my opinion, one should not submerge into a care giving position (whether that means being a mother, father, or teacher) unless they fully obtain the fruits of the Spirit. The entire portion of 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 speak about love, however it was once explained to me that these verses are not necessarily only about lovers, but rather everyone such as friends, family, spouses, and even enemies. If we as believers, are to obey scripture such as to love our enemies such as in Matthew 5:44, then how could we be nurturing caregivers, without including the fruits of the Spirit. Through the entire semester, we have focused on multiple different aspects of children development, (attachment, temperament, play, social development, gender, and parenting). Every single one of these different aspects (in my o pinion) have an absolute correlation to the fruits of the Spirit if we are truly considering it from a biblical perspective. In regards to temperament, as one may understand there are three different types (easy going, slow to warm up, and difficult).

Hill, Ph.D.  © 1992, 1996 From a historical perspective, the cultural norm placing a positive moral value on doing a good job because work has intrinsic value for its own sake was a relatively recent development (Lipset, 1990). Work, for much of the ancient history of the human race, has been hard and degrading. Working hard--in the absence of compulsion--was not the norm for Hebrew, classical, or medieval cultures (Rose, 1985). It was not until the Protestant
