Current Memory Verses

1Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother,
2 To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ who are in Colosse:
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.[a]
3 We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you, 4 since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of your love for all the saints; 5 because of the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, of which you heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel, 6 which has come to you, as it has also in all the world, and is bringing forth fruit,[b] as it is also among you since the day you heard and knew the grace of God in truth; 7 as you also learned from Epaphras, our dear fellow servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ on your behalf, 8 who also declared to us your love in the Spirit.
9 For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; 10 that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; 11 strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy; 12 giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light. 13 He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, 14 in whom we have redemption through His blood,[c] the forgiveness of sins.
15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. 17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. 18 And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence.
19 For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell, 20 and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross.
21 And you, who once were alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now He has reconciled 22 in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy, and blameless, and above reproach in His sight— 23 if indeed you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and are not moved away from the hope of the gospel which you heard, which was preached to every creature under heaven, of which I, Paul, became a minister.
24 I now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up in my flesh what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ, for the sake of His body, which is the church, 25 of which I became a minister according to the stewardship from God which was given to me for you, to fulfill the word of God, 26 the mystery which has been hidden from ages and from generations, but now has been revealed to His saints. 27 To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which[d] is Christ in you, the hope of glory. 28 Him we preach, warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus. 29 To this end I also labor, striving according to His working which works in me mightily.

They all look so lovely sitting reading their books (love your bright room with the glass doors!). My 5 year old son loved the Box Car Children, we have only read the first one.

That looks like fun! My favorite author is Francena Arnold. Most of her books are out of print, but I know you can find "Not My Will" still at Amazon. And you can buy the others used. If you ever wanted to borrow the books, I have some of them.

Oh the vision of loveliness! Such eye candy to see all of them reading!

I am looking forward to seeing your reading list! I enjoyed reading Sarah's. I don't have any suggestions for you though. I am working on school portfolio's so I haven't made up our summer reading list yet. However, I have in the back of my mind that we will have some of the books from the Christian fiction "Sugar Creek Gang" series on it!

Dear Keri,

Summer reading...how fun! Actually, reading is fun at anytime, isn't it! Miss Sarah's list is wonderful...please share with her that we also have "Kingdom of the Cults" for much the same purpose as she stated. My older sons often run into folks who have questions when they are out and about coaching or working...it has been a wonderful resource for this.

We love searching the thrift stores and yard sales for any books in the Lamplighter series. I just go online and make a list...then keep it in my purse to refer to when I am out and about. Wonderful books for all ages!

Have a blessed evening,
Laura

Anonymous said...Great picture! My 7 year old dd loves/d the Thornton Burgess books last year even though we don't have some of those animals here in Australia:) She also really loved The wizard of Oz, has read it twice already. Some other favourites of hers are some Aussie books but great if you could get a hold of them: Snugglepot and Cuddlepie by May Gibbs, The Magic Pudding by Norman Lindsay, the latter you might want to read reviews of in case it's not what you like:)

Oh my. I had left a comment day before yesterday on Grace Livingston Hill books along with the Ludy's magazine. It's not here now, I was wondering if this is not a blogger glitch or if there is some reason the comment was deleted? I thought sure the comment had appeared after I left it. Just thought I would check in to see the others' book suggestions and I noticed mine gone. Hope you are having a nice day. : )

Dawn, Linnae, BB, Laura, JoyfulMum, and Amelia,

Thanks for the suggestions! I think we can make use of all of those books! Some we'd heard of but not read yet, and some are new titles to us! I can put them right on our library list! If you think of others...don't hesitate to leave a note! We love the extra time we have in the summer to read!
