Good morning, Siestas! It’s Amanda checking in to do your very last Scripture memory post – number 24!
Our very dear friend Mary Ann Bridgwater called me a few days before the surgery to ask about my mom’s favorite Bible verse. She said she wanted to have the verse put into a frame so that we could set it at her bedside in the hospital. Mom’s favorite verse is Psalm 27:4.
Look at what she had made. Isn’t that gorgeous?
It brought me a lot of comfort during some of our intense moments.
If you’re checking in this morning without a specific verse on your heart to memorize, I invite you to do this one with me.
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
Congratulations on completing 24 memory verses in one year. Way to go, Siestas! You made it to the end.
By the way, Jackson is in his very first musical program tonight. It’s highly possible that I could have some good stories for you tomorrow. Enjoy your Tuesday!
ADDED NOTE FROM BETH: Siestas, I AM SO STINKING PROUD OF YOU I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO! This has been one of the most exhilarating, soul-building projects we’ve ever done on this blog. COME TO HOUSTON TO CELEBRATE in January! The week after the event we are going to work on a special download of the gathering just for those of you who completed your requirements but were unable to attend. We are so proud of all of you. May God blow your mind with the power of His Word. Feel His pleasure, Sweet Things. He highly esteems what you’ve just accomplished. Amanda, my Darling, thank you for coming through for me on this final post of 24. I had just about enough energy to write this brief hello. I am joining you on this verse. It’s the perfect way to wrap up what we’ve been doing for a year.
I cannot even express how huge my heart is toward those of you who have continued to meet the 24-verse commitment into 2010! You may feel like nobody but you knows that you hung in there and fulfilled your goal and without any of the congratulations the December participants got. I want you to know that GOD KNOWS! And way in underneath Him, your Siesta Mama knows. If I feel this proud of you, I can only imagine how His heart must be beating toward you. WELL DONE, SISTERS!! WELL DONE!!!! May He return it to you a hundred times over. I love you and I'm so honored to journey with you.
I’m new to this blog and would love to memorize the memory verses for 2010. Are the verses located on this blog?
Thanks!
