Scripture in the hearts and mind of the very young

Scripture in the hearts of the very young.
Just recently my oldest son and his wife asked me for the list of scripture verses that I made all my children study and memories, while they were growing up. Their request, made me realize I was starting a tradition, and leaving a legacy. Holy spirit without me even knowing the far reaching effect, had me teach Bible verses to them when they were very young. I taught my kindergarten class these verses, so I also taught it to my own kids. This all started when I moved to Florida, homeless and looking for a job. God made me walk down Holly Drive, in Palm Beach Gardens. I gave out my resume to the each school. I had no idea there were so many schools on that road, neither did I know that at the 3rd school the principal would say to me, "can you start right away? our teacher had an emergency, and has to move to another state. We are looking for a Kindergarten teacher." My interview was so God planned, the details would give you goose bumps. God only ask us to trust his voice and obey his leading, and He will do the rest. Now years later because of the things I learned as a Christian teacher. The encouragement and fellowship of the wonderful family of christians at Church in the Gardens. I was able to teach my own family many of the things I learned there. Praise God He knows all things. He sees our future.
