Memory Verse for 8/15

I chose this verse for the new school year. It reminds me the true source of knowledge and wisdom.

Colossians 2:2-3, TNIV
My goal is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

August 1 Memory Verse

I chose this verse as I begin thinking about getting ready for a new school year. With the special events in our family this summer it has seemed like I have been in a different county. Now I must go back to the everyday world of work. I want Jesus to be my reason for work and my greatest desire.

Psalms 73:23-26, TNIV

Yet I am always with you;
you hold me by my right hand.
You guide me with your counsel,
and afterward you will take me into glory.
Whom have I in heaven but you?
And earth has nothing I desire besides you.
My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart
and my portion forever.

Memory Verse for 7/15/11

We are camping at Fall Creek Falls. My verse this time is the last part of 1 Corinthians 13 that I chose to honor Meredith and Matt


1 Corinthians 13:11-13
When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

Memory Verse for 7/1/11

We had a wonderful wedding and are so happy. For my verse this time I am going to continue memorizing 1 Corinthians 13. It has really helped me think about all the familiar words by memorizing them.

1 Corinthians 13:7-10
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears.

Memory Verse for June 15

It is only 10 days until the wedding. For the memory verse for today, which is Meredith's birthday, I am continuing on with the next 3 verses of 1 Corinthians 13.

1 Corinthians 13:4-6
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.

June 1 Memory Verse

With all the excitement in our family about the wedding of our good friend, Kara, and my daughter, Meredith I am late on posting my memory verse for June 1. I have chosen a very familiar passage about love for this month in honore of all weddings.

1 Corinthians 13:1-3, TNIV
And yet I will show you the most excellent way.
If I speak in human or angelic tongues, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.

Memory verse for 5/15

This one is a little late. We have been working hard on showers and the wedding. This is a happy time, so I picked one about rejoicing after hard and sad seasons.

Psalms 31:7

I will be glad and rejoice in your love,
for you saw my affliction
and knew the anguish of my soul.
