As we've been working on our memory verses this week, this was one of the main ones that we worked on. We learn our verses in the New King James Version, but the idea would work for any version. Basically, if you break these two verses down, the consist of a list of God's attributes. The LORD followed by four qualities; the The LORD followed by two qualities. We made this craft with the verse to hang in the kitchen. I found out it was hard for the girls to tie the knots, so I ended up pretty much making this by myself. We enjoyed the process though. I left out the connecting words to force the girls to come up with part of the verse on their own even when they were looking at this.
I also made two more copies of each of these phrases on cardstock for a memory game. The girls mix them up and flip them all over. Then they take turns looking for matches by flipping two cars over. If you find a match, you keep going. After three matches, it is the next person's turn. After all the matches have been found, they have to put the two sets in order. This really helps them to become familiar with the verse and gives them a game to play and a cooperative activity.
My hope is that this verse will take a place of permanent residence in my daughter's hearts. Read through this verse. Think about what our God is like! Gracious, full of compassion, slow to anger, great in mercy, good to all, His tender mercies are over all His works--how blessed we are to know this LORD!
