Memory Work


This summer Dan and I started working with Lena on memorizing scripture.  Her Sunday school class sends home an age appropriate verse to be memorized each week so I bought a neat looking chalkboard at World Market on clearance and put it up in our dining room.  Each morning during breakfast we practice our verses.  She drew a picture of God to go with our verse.
 They have also been learning "God's Not Dead" by The Newsboys in Sunday school.  I didn't know this until one day it came on the radio while we were driving around town and she began singing with it.
