Memory Monday

Happy Monday Friends! I couldn't decide which one I liked better, so I have the same verse written two different ways. Enjoy!

Memory Verse

It's not Monday, but here is a new memory verse for you... Happy Tuesday!

Marvelous Memory Monday

Hello Friends!

Happy Monday, I can't believe it has been a month since I posted. I have missed you, but I enjoyed focusing on my family and the holidays. I hope you were blessed!

The cooler weather always draws me towards comfort food, crackling fires and warm sweaters. The fall season makes me want to knit! This scripture has so much meaning for me. God knit me (and you) together in my mother's womb. Knitting is not a quick and mindless task. Knitting takes patience, time and a plan. You were not an accident! God created your inmost being. He took time with you and created you exactly the way you were meant to be. He held you and designed every part of you with his loving, capable hands.

1. What are some things you do to win the approval of people?

2. What are some things you do that please God?

3. How can we tell the difference between pleasing God and pleasing people?

3. What is one thing you can do today that will please God?

Happy Monday my friend!

Please print as many copies as you would like. Post on your mirror, kitchen sink or desk and memorize with us!

Hi All! I have been so caught up in the prayers, I forgot it was Monday! Here is our new scripture card:

Marvelous Memory Monday

Here is our new Scripture for this week:

Not sure about you, but I had trouble with the sizing last week. It printed out huge! It is supposed to be 3x5. I posted differently this week, so hopefully it works better.

Grumbling Jar

I heard a little grumbling last week after I posted our Memory Scripture. I agree, it is an easy one to memorize, not so easy to actually do. That being said, I know I am going to hear even more grumbling this week!

It is not enough just to memorize God's Word, we must actually let His Word transform us. Our challenge for this week is to actually use and apply this scripture to our lives.

First you will need a Grumbling jar (or cup or bowl).

This week we will be "catching" the grumbling, arguing and complaining. If I catch the kids arguing this week, I will say, "Do everything without grumbling or arguing. Philippians 2:14". They will have to put a coin in the jar (we decided on a nickel). If they grumble about being caught, they put in another nickel.

The thing is, Mom and Dad, the catching goes both ways. We cannot expect our kids to stop grumbling and arguing if we are not willing to stop ourselves. Please remember this is for the good of our family, so when our kids catch us, we can't get upset with them. We must lead by (a good) example.


To take it a step further, here are some questions for discussion:

1. Why does God want us to stop grumbling, arguing and complaining?

2. Why is it so hard to stop this bad habit?

3. How do we make it right with others and with God when we are caught grumbling or arguing?


Decide as a family what you will do with the money you collect in your Grumbling Jar and let us know!

Marvelous Memory Monday

Happy Monday! It is amazing (and sometimes convicting) the way God uses our kids to speak to us. Recently, Little Miss came to me and said she wanted to start memorizing scripture. I have stopped and started this habit several times, so I told her I would join her on this journey.

I chose a scripture that is fairly simple to get us going. I created a printable 3x5 card that I will post in several spots around the house to help us commit the verse to memory (and maybe get more people involved).

Would you like to join us?

Just click on the picture and print as many as you want.

We will keep this scripture for two weeks and then move on to a new one. Make sure you stop in next Monday and see how we are doing on our memorizing and I will have some fun ideas to make the memorizing more fun.

Please let me know if you plan to join us! I want to talk with my kids about the impact one idea can have on other people. Leave a comment here or on FB and let me know you are in! (We would love to hear if your kids are "in" too.)

The enemy is happy to fill our mind with lies and get you off track. God has given us the power to take every thought captive and line up with His Word.

Marvelous Memory Monday

I know that we are supposed to hide the Word of the Lord in our heart. I always say I am going to start memorizing scripture and I fail to do it for one reason or another. So I am starting today and you are welcome to join me. I created a card for you to print and post wherever is most convenient for you. Happy Monday!
