My son, who has Down Syndrome, does Awana and has to memorize a bunch of verses. He has always had trouble, but is motivated by music, so I started making up tunes for his Bible verses. It makes memorizing Bible verses, so much easier.
I've even gotten the songs stuck in my head. At first I was annoyed that the song was stuck in my head, but then I realized it was God's word stuck in my head. That is a good thing.
If you go to odysee.com and search for @ckkroeker, you can hear some of the songs. Some are better than others and the recordings are my first attempt. Frequently I clean them up a bit, but usually don't rerecord them.
Amen for the beautiful sharing! 🙏 I recall the days I memorized Ps91 and Ps27 during a life trial. It was truly marvelous to experience the powerful force in Ps and the faith it brings.
Thanks for reading! You've reminded me that I need to get back to Psalm 91. Looking at it now, I remember I started memorizing it at one point, but I must have let myself get distracted. Because I see I never finished! Psalm 27 is also one of my favorites. So many psalms, so little time (or so it can seem)! Blessings to you!

I love hearing that, Christy. So glad your son enjoys memorizing Bible verses. An example to us all! I'll give the songs a listen!
