Siesta Scripture Memory Verse 2

Good Morning!  And a GLORIOUS morning it is...even though (here) there is lots of snow outside there is lots to be thankful for.  I have successfully memorized my verse from the beginning of the month and here is my second verse.  

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."

Matthew 11:28 (NIV)

And if I could just encourage you a little more to join in on all the fun-- My 3 year old Zoie is going to join me in the journey.  She has already started on her first verse.

"Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right."

Epesians 6:1 (NIV)

She is working hard and we keep going over it.  By the end of the month her bright little mind will have it no problem. 

Won't you join us too?

Duck, Duck, Goose!

Today my 3-year-old is playing really well by herself.  She has several Barbies out sitting on the floor. She likes to change their clothes and of course they all need purses.  

All of a sudden out of nowhere she goes around tapping her sister and me on the head saying, "Duck, duck..." 

Then I tap her on the head and say "Goose!" 

She will proceed to run in a circle in the living room (without anyone chasing her) and then she will yell, "Sit down, sit down!"

She then sits down panting out of breath.

After that she goes back to playing with her Barbies.

Isn't it great that she can just be so spontaneous as a kid!

Scripture Memory Challenge

Happy New Year!

This year I am committing to memorize 2 verses each month.  As a part of the 2011 Siesta Scripture Memory Team I will have 24 new verses memorized by the end of 2011. 

The plan is to choose a new verse that I will be memorizing on the 1st and the 15th of each month.  I will also be posting them over on the Living Proof Ministries Blog.

My first scripture is:

"Do nothing form selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves" Philippians 2:3 (NASB)

I have it written in my little notebook to carry with me so that I can work on memorizing at any time.

 Find out how it works here.

You can read about the first verses of the year that people have chosen here.

Want to join in on the fun?  Leave me a comment with your 1st verse.
