TEACHING MEMORY VERSES CONTINUED

Okay, so I meant to share a few more of our memory verses (you can see one of them here ) from the school year by the end of May...but things happened, kids got sick, and it just didn't happen. But I will be sharing the other two that I recorded. Here is one of them. Please pardon the fact that it is not the best video quality and has a few hiccups or mistakes. We are still trying to get used to recording videos...which is funny in the process. We don't do too many takes because that would be too much for them, but this was the best one for this video. We hope you and/or your kids will be able to follow along!

This was Psalm 112:1-4. The whole chapter has been encouraging but this was as much as we put to music for the year.

Here's the words so you can teach it to your kids as well and they can sing along to memorize it. (We repeated a few lines to make it more like a song)

Psalm 112:1-4

Blessed are those who fear the Lord,

who find great delight in his commands.

Their children will be mighty in the land; (repeat)

the generation of the upright will be blessed. (repeat)

Wealth and riches are in their houses, and their righteousness endures forever. (repeat)

Even in darkness light dawns for the upright,

for those who are gracious and compassionate and righteous. (repeat)





This year God has been teaching me a lot about His blessing. About being able to fully receive blessings and good things from Him and these come in all sorts of ways (not just financially). This is a scripture that I've been really thinking on that goes along with receiving God's blessing as a gift and finding contentment.
Ecclesiastes 5:19-20
"when God gives someone wealth and possessions, and the ability to enjoy them, to accept their lot and be happy in their toil- this is a gift of God. They seldom reflect on the days of their life, because God keeps them occupied with gladness of heart."

Our prayer is that we will daily remember God's faithfulness and all He has and continues to give us, and that this will then be passed down to our children and their children...that our hearts will be occupied with gladness and thankfulness.

Music is such a gift and I'm so thankful to use it in so many ways for fun and to connect with our kids. We love their interest in singing and playing instruments!

Let us know what your kids think. We would love to hear your comments.
