A Recitation

The kids' Sunday school class (2-6 year olds) has been working through a series of memory verses this year. The kids got a tote bag (handmade by wonderful friends here!) as a reward and encouragement when they learned their first 5 verses. Then, with each additional 5 verses, they get a star to glue gun onto their bags. It's neat to walk around on Sunday mornings and see so many kids ages 3-6 with tote bags and one or two stars on them! What an encouragement to hide God's word in our hearts, and what a goad to we who are older, if these little ones can do it so well, what's our excuse?! It has definitely been an encouragement in our family!

Anyway, our homeschool co-op that we go to has an opening session each week where kids can share or perform as an opportunity of being in front of people. We have seen dancing, gymnastics, cheer leading, rock collections, girls scout presentations, puppets, singing... This afternoon, Katy, Darsie, Ellia and Ben recited Psalm 121 for the parents and kids. We have just finished it up in Sunday school, so Paige and I thought it would be a good opportunity for the kids to practice some public speaking (together, for support!). Here is the video that Matt took for us.
