Good morning:)
It's a beautiful sunny crisp winter day here... let's give our God thanks for this new day!
Have your memory verses been speaking to you these days? Mine have! Since running on a significant lack of sleep (a newborn does that to you!) sometimes finds me waking up in the morning on the "wrong side of the bed"... that's never a good start, but especially when you may be encountering little people who have also woke up a bit crabby. I found myself convicted yesterday when I was correcting my 20 month old son on his whininess and disobedience... my own attitude needed correcting! I was impatient and crabby myself, so I'm sure that didn't help with his attitude. The start of my current verse flooded my thoughts -- "Love is PATIENT... love is KIND..." *gulp* I wasn't being very patient. So... we prayed and did a restart to the day. I'm so thankful to say that the day improved immensely! I love seeing the Word working out in my life... and it is becoming more and more clear to me that I have to let it. We can memorize all we want, but if we don't make a conscious effort to bring it into our every day, we likely won't find the Spirit working as obviously as we would like. I'm praying each of us will allow Him to work in us -- in our every day situations, whatever they may be. Big and small. I'm holding tight to my first couple of verses, knowing that God's Spirit can give me self-discipline/control, love... and patience. :)
So it's March 1st... let's share our 5th verse of the year with each other! Keep up the good work ladies! :)

Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness,
And for His wonderful works to the children of men!
For He satisfies the longing soul,
And fills the hungry soul with goodness.
