Psalm 23

For school about 2 weeks ago, I gave our 6 year old an assignment to do on her own. I told her to go and memorize Psalm 23. She learned how to find it in the Bible, and she came to me on about 2 occassions asking for help sounding out words ('preparest' and 'anointest'). I was certainly surprised when she actually came to me with it memorized!! I haven't required alot of memorization yet, so this was her first real test. I am so proud of her!!!

  1. GREAT JOB, KAILEY !! :) You made 100% on that!!!That is one of the MOST SPECIAL CHAPTERS of the BIBLE and you NAILED IT!! Psalm 23 means so very much for many Christians!!! Can you believe I learned that too when I was 8 years old and I still remember all the words to this day and I am almost 55? I often say it during my days to remember JESUS is with me and to make me feel better!! You are so Precious and smart too. I know JESUS is sooooooooo proud of you!! :)

  3. yes grandma....ALL by herself. She would read it in her room and go over and over the verses. I would have her write them out in cursive as part of her schoolwork as well. She did great!!
    Clara....I hope she does keep this with her all her life!!
