Gratitude:

"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow."
-Melody Beattie

From Cyrise ~

Philippians 4:8
Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things [are] noble, whatever things [are] just, whatever things [are] pure, whatever things [are] lovely, whatever things [are] of good report, if [there is] any virtue and if [there is] anything praiseworthy--meditate on these things.

Philippians 3:13 -14
Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing [I do], forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

2 Corinthians 10:5
For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,

KNOW THIS!

We are in spiritual warfare! We are trying to break free from the lies of the world, the lies of our self and live productive lives sharing the wonders of God’s love with those we come in contact with.

Don’t let your guard down.

I think perhaps we should all memorize our first scripture together…

Philippians 4:8

Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things [are] noble, whatever things [are] just, whatever things [are] pure, whatever things [are] lovely, whatever things [are] of good report, if [there is] any virtue and if [there is] anything praiseworthy--meditate on these things.

Today we are going to talk about .... Scripture memorization...

Why? I hear you ask.... well...

I cam across this blog... by Beth Moore.

Beautiful design and did ... hey, what is this?
Siesta Scripture Memory team? hmmmm

So I thought... hey... what a great idea! Let's do it too.

I thought we could just follow what Beth has done.

• They do 2 scriptures per month. On the 1st & 15th of each month.
• It's not a scripture I pick, each person will pick their own scripture and then, hopefully, share what scripture they picked with the rest of us (because if it's a good one, I am definitely going to want to memorize that one next).
• Keep all your memorized scripture in a spiral bound 3x5 /index card holder. (what? you say... something like these... which are avail at Target, office supply stores and some grocery stores.
  
  
• If you need help finding a verse, add a comment here with what kind of topic you'd like to cove and I'm sure one of us can come up with something great!
