I know there is much to be learned from whole chapters and books as well, but that is not where I am right now. Like you, forcing myself to memorize for the sake of memorizing takes some of the delight out of it. While I do understand and appreciate the benefits of other methods, this one at this time resonates deeply with me.Creative Life Studiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14306288585957249405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8008213654748636566.post-36337946964631629542009-02-09T22:49:00.000-05:002009-02-09T22:49:00.000-05:00Thanks for the encouragement, today!

I keep one near my Bible, and one in my purse, and then when I think of or read a verse that I want to remember, I just write it, tear it off, and either share it or hang it where it'll come in handy.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00415901067445296123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8008213654748636566.post-52319055037114550312009-02-09T17:54:00.000-05:002009-02-09T17:54:00.000-05:00I tried to memorize a couple of chapters last year...I tried to memorize a couple of chapters last year but did not succeed, though I am going to keep trying.

His word should be a JOY to read, meditate on, and memorize. I love your verse pouch (I'm assuming that's what it is?). Fun fun. :)Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05354167372400575265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8008213654748636566.post-19238385355371056872009-02-08T20:50:00.000-05:002009-02-08T20:50:00.000-05:00Beautiful.I've been mounting my verses on pretty s...Beautiful.<BR/><BR/>I've been mounting my verses on pretty scrapbook paper and taping them all around the house, so I can feast on them wherever I am.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8008213654748636566.post-86641105019395745762009-02-08T19:37:00.000-05:002009-02-08T19:37:00.000-05:00That is a beautiful way of viewing scripture.I do ...That is a beautiful way of viewing scripture.<BR/>I do hope that you are keeping well.Hill upon Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18295311920146857840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8008213654748636566.post-10348191859977480332009-02-08T16:28:00.000-05:002009-02-08T16:28:00.000-05:00"may we together find His words to be sweet to our..."may we together find His words to be sweet to our taste...so much so that we crave them throughout our days and find the promises becoming at home in our hearts."<BR/><BR/>Lovely, Aimee, just lovely!

Though I am going to try to learn the book of Philippians, I do not think of it as a task but with excitement as this is what I have been wanting to do for a long time.:o) I love that you use the word "meditation" because that is really what it is... thinking, pondering...going over it in your mind throughout the day.<BR/><BR/>You've just put it so well... thank you.Katrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09738882550106899781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8008213654748636566.post-57426619691483266402009-02-08T15:15:00.000-05:002009-02-08T15:15:00.000-05:00I used to work on memorization while walking to cl...I used to work on memorization while walking to class in college and when ever I am walking somewhere by myself those words come to mind.

I work so have verses in my car, in my purse, on my desk at work...everywhere so I have more of an opportunity to commit them to memory. I've also found carring a small Bible in my purse lets me use surprise "down time" for time with God.Karrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17808815647766474032noreply@blogger.com
