Scripture A.B.C.s

When our oldest son was barely able to talk my husband and I wanted to begin teaching him scripture so I sat down and looked up verses that would speak of his faith, his delight, and the Word of God, etc. Each verse is just a portion of the verse.  We will add the entire verse for memory work as our sons grow older. By the time my oldest was three he had approximately 50 verses memorized including these. Our hope and prayer is that our boys will hide God's Word in their heart's so that they 'might not sin against God'.

So, I thought I would share the Scripture A-B-C's that we have used to teach our boys. I realize that there are a lot of them out there that people use but maybe as you read these you will see why these verses were chosen.

Just as other parents are pleased when their child hits a home run or plays their first piano recital, I love to hear my sons quote what they have learned from the bible. As our sons learn scripture it is an absolute delight in my heart to hear them preach these same verses on the street, as well as in the church house. 

I do hope these will be a blessing to you.

It is well with my soul. Is it well with yours?
