Another Grandma O favorite

God's word is a precious favorite of mine. Reading its words encourages me, calms me, makes me think, inspires me, gives me courage, gives me hope and makes my heart sing. A couple of secret facts are, I am trying to memorize a verse from every book in the Bible. That little notebook is where I keep track of the ones I am learning. I started in Matthew and have one down for every book through Phillipians. I still have a ways to go. Would anyone want to join me in this challenge? At night when I wake up I say my verses until I go back to sleep. I love doing this. Another secret is that when Larry is gone overnight I sleep with my Bible. I am not sure why, I just like to do that. One of my prayers is that God's Word will be special to each of my grandchildren.

I am glad this is a favorite! Your faithful Bible reading and memorizing have been an inspiration to me. Maybe after I finish memorizing James I can join you in your memorizing challenge. It sounds like a fun one.
