Daughters of Diligence
Diligence - Investing all my energy to complete the tasks assigned to me.
One of the Character Issues that arises daily here in our home while raising my children is DILIGENCE.
Focusing on our Daughters, we can raise Daughters of Diligence.
How many times have you challenged your daughter to finish the a job task set before them?
How often do yo have to have them return to a job to finish?
Is the job done half-heartedly?
We all need to learn godly Character qualities.
If you have been wanting to take that step of practically teaching your children the meanings, living -out difference of Godly Character,, take this step of applying it in your home.
We have thoroughly enjoyed this curriculum through the years.
I purchased one set every couple years, and then I incorporated them into our home school program, our devotional time, or just a summer hour a day.
It is an all-encompassing material - for every area of your children's lives.
Cleaning
Home-work
School
Music lessons
Bible reading and memory work
Letter writing
Dishes
Feeding the animals
Friendships
Church commitments

and more areas that we can teach our children to be DILIGENT
A child or daughter that learns DILIGENCE at a young age, in the home, will grow to be a woman that is Thorough, Orderly, and understands and practices endurance.

The Concept of Diligence
Diligence invests time, thought, and energy into a project
with the hope that it will produce a healthy return.
By investing a lot, diligent individuals expect to gain a
lot. They realize that what they get out of something
depends upon what they are willing to put into it.
Diligence also finishes what it starts. It counts the cost
and sees things through to the bitter end. In fact, for the
diligent, the satisfaction of finishing a project is often as
meaningful as any praise or recognition they receive
from others.
Diligence also applies to both small and large projects,
significant or menial, easy or difficult. It applies the
same effort to whatever task is at hand, realizing that
anything worth doing is worth doing right.
Here's a Thought...
Are we showing DILIGENCE in teaching our children how to live for Him in every day life?
