I heard a story about Vietnam POW's who decided to write down all the Bible verses they knew between them so they could have some scriptures since they had no Bible. They were dismayed by how little they had.
I didn't memorize Bible scriptures when I was little and lately I have been putting verses that touch me in some way on 3x3 cards and carry them with me everywhere to go over in the small open spaces of my life as a way to hide away God's Word in my hart. In the morning I try sing hymns and recite verses. During the day I hum a hymn that always haunts the corner of my heart. I have always felt the need to hide the Word in my heart. I try harder these days.
What fun it would be to bring the young ones close opening the Bible and having them discover the Wonders and Mysteries of God! What fun it would be to get them all excited and prepare them to recite their favorite Scriptures to the family! Since I am a family of one, I shall do attempt to begin the ritual with God.
