Fruit of the Spirit: Peace
About Theo
Theo Turtle is gentle, thoughtful, and never in a hurry. He enjoys quiet walks through Willow Orchard, noticing the little things others sometimes miss, and spending peaceful moments with his friends.
Theo is learning that peace does not always mean everything around us is quiet or easy. Peace can grow inside us when we trust God, slow down, listen carefully, and choose calm words and kind actions.
Growing in Peace
Peace is the third Fruit of the Spirit named in Galatians 5:22–23. It grows when we remember that God is with us, even when life feels busy, uncertain, or hard.
Sometimes peace means taking a moment before we react. It can look like listening instead of arguing, using gentle words, forgiving a friend, or helping others feel safe and included.
Theo is discovering that a peaceful heart can help bring peace to the people around us.
