Is it cheating?

 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 on 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.

Deuteronomy 6:5-9


I memorized the verses above thanks to a lovely song on a Seeds Family Worship CD (all lyrics are directly from Scripture, ESV version).  Sadly, I don't know any Albanian Scripture verses set to music tunes (yet!), but it's not stopping me from selecting memory verses for Kids Club each week.  It's funny what a little thing like rewards positive reinforcement produces.  Rote memory seems to come relatively easily to our young friends, even without musical reinforcement, and we're throwing up a lot of stars on our attendance and Bible verse chart.

Our friend above, we'll call her Joy, apparently doubted her memory from the week earlier.  Does writing her memory verse on her palm 'count' as 'binding them on her hand'? ;-)  If so, is it cheating?


Watch out Mersin!  The kids found your guitar!  (By the way, yes, that is an Uno card being used as a guitar pick).


Working on the "Twelve Tribes of Israel" craft.


Reni and his buddy, we'll call him Leo



If you flipped Ellie's over, she may have deviated from the lesson and renamed some of her tribes names like "Daddy, Mommy, Abby, Anna, Reni and Zoe (Nonna and PaPa's dog)".
