Our church challenged everyone to memorize Psalm 1 as a family. Karis and Makena were up for the challenge. They worked hard and each week they memorized a verse until they had all six memorized.
1 Blessed is the man
who walks not in the counsel of the wicked,
nor stands in the way of sinners,
nor sits in the seat of scoffers;
2 but his delight is in the law] of the Lord,
and on his law he meditates day and night.

nor stands in the way of sinners,

and on his law he meditates day and night.
3 He is like a tree
planted by streams of water
that yields its fruit in its season,
and its leaf does not wither.
In all that he does, he prospers.
4 The wicked are not so,
but are like chaff that the wind drives away.

5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous;
6 for the Lord knows the way of the righteous,
nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous;
6 for the Lord knows the way of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked will perish.
The kids were highly motivated by a donut party for those who memorized the chapter. They were excited to get their special ticket to the party!
Karis even got to throw a pie in her teacher's face. All part of the party fun! We love our church that teaches us and challenges all of us to live as followers of Jesus.
