Memorizing Scripture

After the last general conference

one of the things

we decided to work on as a family

is memorizing scripture.

Richard G Scott gave a great address

on scriptures being our friends.

It got me thinking about how many times

God has spoken to me through a verse

of scripture running through my head.

I thought I better work harder at giving scriptures

to the girls so that in their time of need

God will be able to speak to them through

the scriptures that are stored in their brain.

We started with my favorite scripture.

This verse has been there with me

through a whole lot of hard stuff.

Proverbs 3:5-6

We all took a turn writing a line.

Caroline even got a turn.

As we all cited the scripture together

for the first time

Caroline was quick to correct us that

after path

we are all to say

scribble scribble scribble

circle.

How dare we leave out her part?

How many of you bet

that someday in the near future

God will speak to my girls

by letting them hear

the words

scribble scribble scribble circle

in their minds and hearts

when they need it the most?
