My grandparent's house was full of treasures. (Isn't everyone's?) One thing I remember most vividly was a little box of scriptures that was kept in the kitchen or on the dining table. It was wooden, with thin, rectangular cards donning a different verse on each one. It brought great memories of learning how special God's Word is and seeing how important it is to our family just to have this in our home. So off I went to find a scripture keeper box and I found this one at our sweet little Christian bookstore in town. Our hope, now that school has started again, is to eat dinner around the table more. Summer has been full of great outdoor grilled dinners, but it's time to come inside. Before we eat, we take turns reading a scripture and talking about what it means, then saying our prayer. I try to bring it back up throughout the meal, depending on our conversations. I want to teach my children the importance of chewing on & meditating on God's Words, and how easily they apply to the dailiness of our lives.Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates. Deut. 6:5-9
