I really didn't know what this would look like daily, but set out with a friend Skye to use a CD called 'Sing the Word' and then share our memorising at the end of the week.
On playing this one morning the boys said unanimously to turn it off, we don't like it!! Ok, plan B (I didn't have one) with a whispered prayer...I got out a piece of paper and I proceeded to draw the meaning of this little, but powerful truth that was our memory verse.
All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23
and
Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved, you and your household. Acts 16:31
and
Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved, you and your household. Acts 16:31
As you can see we fall short of coming to the Father because of our sin, this was also dramatised with Caleb's drawing of a saltwater croc to catch you...ouch! We then talked about the next verse, how Jesus is the bridge and saves us. Sebastian wanted to do his own version as seen below. I was amazed and still am how they quickly took hold of this truth and understood it just by simple line drawings. God so generously gives, he is so faithful in helping us on our journey, I am overwhelmed and filled with gratitude that he met our needs that morning, the fruit of which will be seen for many years to come.
