Proverbs 3:5 (day 22)

To help us all remember Proverbs 3:5 we sing it to the tune of "this old man"

trust the Lord (this old man)
with all your heart (he played one)
lean not on your own understanding (he played knick-knack on my thumb)
Proverbs chapter 3 verse 5 (with a knick-knack paddy-whack give the dog a bone)
trust the Lord with all your heart (this old man came rolling home)

and by the way, Proverbs 3:6 works well with the same tune:
In all your ways
acknowledge him
he will make your pa-ths straight
Proverbs chapter 3 verse 6
in all your ways acknowledge him

Here is a video we made a while ago to send to Daddy at work.

1 Samuel 16:7 (day 21)

The big kids are staying with their grandparents a few days so we aren't really having Bible time since Knox is only 14 months. Knox does enjoy singing though (he doesn't really sing so much :) so I thought I would share some ways we try to remember Bible verses. Our verse from Friday we put to the tune of "Mary had a little lamb."

Man looks at the outward appearance (Mary had a little lamb)
outward appearance (little lamb)
outward appearance (little lamb)
man looks at the outward appearance (Mary had a little lamb)
but the Lord looks at the heart (his fleece was white as snow)
1 Samuel 16:7 (repeat tune of "his fleece was white as snow)

Scripture Memory

I have been enjoying watching/listening to the kids learning Psalm 121. Hubby ordered cute little memory verse cards titled "foundational verses" from desiringgod.org It has a bunch of cards with one verse each. On the other side is a picture to help cue you as to what the verse is. I have been so surprised at how well they are learning the verses. I think it would be fun for Von and Alyse to recite them for groups of extended family during the holidays. I want them to practice "public speaking" so they aren't as terrified as I am. We could kill two birds with one stone...
