For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” Romans 10:13
I have a 3 year old son who is crazy about books so I have started taking Bible verses and finding a picture to represent each word of the verse. I have the pictures posted on a corkboard in the kitchen and we go over it several times a day. I will leave a scripture up for one week and then turn the pictures into a book for him. He LOVES it and is memorizing Scripture quickly!
These are all such fantastic suggestions! Thank you all for being the salt of the world and sharing your great ideas which encourages us all. It keeps us all salty!
In HIS love!

Proverbs 3:5,6- Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him and he shall direct thy paths.
My 3 year old daughter knows this verse and she learned it pretty quickly.
My 2 year old daughter and I just memorized Psalm 150:6 together. “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.”
Poem
He Made the Stars to Shine
He made the stars to shine;
He made the rolling sea.
He made the mountains high
and He made me.
But this is why I love Him:
For me He bled and died;
The Lord of all creation
Became the Crucufied.
Jesus, the Son of God,
From death has been set free;
and now on Heaven’s throne
He cares for me.
If you will trust the Savior,
Your life will be made new
And God the Holy Spirit
Will come to live in you.
JOY-Jesus Others You
Poem:
I Don’t Have to Wait
I don’t have to wait
until I’m grown-up
To be loving and true;
There are many little
deeds of kindness
That each day I can do.
I can read my Bible and pray,
Be a loving helper alway;
I don’t have to wait
until I’m grown-up
To be what Jesus
wants me to be.
If I’m old enough
to love my parents,
I can know Jesus’ love;
I can learn to trust Him
and obey Him,
For He watches above.
Song
I Love America
I love America!
Oh, I love this land.
I love America!
With justice
may she stand.
Grounded on
the Word of God,
A nation of
the free;
I love America!
The land of our liberty.
Poem
Always say, “thank you. Always say”please”.

Always say, “please.
