I printed out my verse cards last week and tucked one into the mirror in the bathroom--blow drying and curling and memory work go well together. I put the other in the console of the car. Having a little card to hold and look at made me buckle down and get this passage memorized.
(Where do you keep your verse cards? Kitchen, bathroom, laundry room? Do share!)
Anyway, here goes Ephesians 3:14-21:
For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom his whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love which surpasses all understanding--that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus for all generations for ever and ever! Amen.
Okay, let's see how I did--I haven't really studied this today so far so it'll be a good test of how well I really know it...
I left out some of the best parts. I think I'll keep working on this--again--because I really want to know this one word perfect and be able to recall it.
Leave a link if you did yours! (And for more information on Memory Monday, click on the box in the sidebar.)
(And now Audrey and I are headed out to hit some balls back and forth on the tennis courts.)
I keep my scripture memory cards right next to my computer, because I do my daily Biblestudy on Biblegateway.com, and my little library/office room is my getaway. (At least it is if my husband isn't on it doing our finances or playing solitare!)
I'm glad I found you! Your links have opened up some wonderful information for me.
PTL!

I have good intentions of getting all my verses printed out on cards, but the procrastinator in me makes this hard! Something I'm working on. I do write out certain verses and then pretty much keep them with me wherever I go.
Here's my verse for this week and next. Hope your having a great week!
