"One thing I ask of the Lord, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple."

~Psalm 27:4

Scripture Memorization #17 Re-post

Hey Sweet Scripture Memorization Sisters!

     The days and seasons of 2011 seem to have peeled off the pages of the calendar.  We have strapped on 16 Scripture memorization/meditation selections.  Today we consider the 17th.  We are nearing the goal of 20 selections.  I applaud you for your diligence and tenacity.    

     Sight is a gift that we often take for granted.  My heart is filled with thanksgiving and praise as I have been afforded the gift of sight which has allowed me to take in the beauty of fall.  The brilliance of the colors is enhanced with drops of dew. And refraction is the reason we can see a rainbow of colors on those red, russet, brown, orange leaves glistening with dew.   

     May we take the time to enjoy and bask in the beauty of fall and all that comes with it.  Next Sunday the clocks will be set back an hour.  We will get an extra hour of sleep.  The smell of pumpkin, apples, cinnamon and the like are characteristic of this time of the year.  This is a time that we are intentional with thanksgiving and sensitive to those around with whom we can share.

     “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.  Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.”  Galatians 6:9-10 (NIV)
      Scripture Memorization Sisters, now it is your turn!  Just do it!

     Post your name, verse/verses, reference and translation and your comments.

I love you!
Olda

    Matthew 6:31-34 NAS

    "Do not be anxious then, saying 'what shall we eat?' or 'what shall we drink?' or what shall we clothe ourselves?'
    "For all these things the Gentiles eagerly seek: for your hevenly Father knows that you need all these things.
    "But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added to you.
    "Therefore do not be anxious for tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."
