Memory Monday: More of Psalm 19

We went and saw our friend at Staples the other day to get a whole stack of verse cards laminated. I've not been laminating mine (they have a safe place to live without getting beat up), but the girls get theirs done. That way they'll last. And wouldn't it be cool if they still had their stack someday when they're all grown up? 

(Okay, technically the boy at Staples doesn't know he's our friend but it's always the same guy and I kind of wonder what he thinks of our verse cards. I figure that maybe he'll ask one of these visits.)

This week we're adding more verses to Psalm 19; we got 1-4 down pretty well last week especially considering we didn't do school on Monday. 

One thing we need to work on is reviewing past verses we've learned to keep them fresh. I do that on my own, but it's time for the girls to do it too, for us to do it together.

Which reminds me of Sunday school yesterday. Our virtue this month is cooperation and our memory verse is Ecclesiastes 4:9. "Two people are better than one. They can help each other in everything they do."

In everything they do. 

Memorizing Scripture, cleaning house, making decisions, homework, you name it. Everything. That was a little bit eye-opening for me. Because I'm not so good at asking for help and tend to pride myself on being self-sufficient. God's really been working on that with me and I'll go ahead and tell you it's not much fun. But necessary.

 

Are you memorizing anything this week? If not, why not? Please don't take that as criticism, but as an honest question. What's holding you back from being disciplined about memorization?

I love the thought of the copy guy at Staples reading your scripture cards. Planting seeds!

[Lisa notes...]

Sometimes it's hard for me to accept help, too. Other times I welcome it. ;-)

I love how you're applying Ecclesiastes to memory work with your daughters. And here we all are helping each other, too. God's Word is so rich.

My verses are here:

As I was reading your post this morning, I was reminded of how much Memory Monday is 'helping' me to stay on track with memorizing my verses.

Thank!

I have added this scripture to our fridge for the week. It is timely, because my sons and I are working on remembering that each of of us is stewards over our home.

They are 12 and 13, and I believe they are finally getting a handle on happily helping around the house.

Love that you brought up that memorizing is a discipline. Disciplines are not always fun, but necessary. Thanks for doing MM.
