Seek justice, encourage the oppressed. “For in You the fatherless find compassion.” If one of you says to him, “Go, I wish you well keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it?” “Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. “Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.” This summer, commit one or all of these verses to memory while sharing with your kids how our Father God feels about the orphaned, the least of the these, the lost, and the lonely. Learning and putting scripture to memory are excellent teaching opportunities to share God’s character and truth. At the end of the summer, have a special surprise or family outing to celebrate! ![]() ![]() When a verse is committed to memory, give a sticker or mark a check. Get really creative and make a family chart with each member of the family getting a column (Mom & Dad, you too!). ![]() Practice around the table, before you go to bed, and with quizzes throughout the day. Scripture memory is a great activity to do as a family to continue instilling truth into hearts–allowing God’s word to be a light for our path. Take advantage of the free time (& brain space) to commit Bible verses to memory with your kids. With school out, homework and spelling tests probably feel like a distant memory. ![]()
