Small Groups...

Now I know I have a ton of schoolwork to be doing, but school isn't all I do!  So this afternoon after doing some reading, and some printing, and some thinking, and even a phone chat with my Mum, I did something sort of fun!  Whee!
These are the memory verse cards I make for our Small Group that meets on Tuesday evenings.  We have good times on Tuesdays.  We connect, we grow, we learn about God, we live our faith.  I love these women and I love meeting with them!  This is part of what I feel and think as I take time out of my busyness to make our memory verses.  
I don't have to do this.  We could hand write the verses.  We could put 'em on index cards.  We could print them straight off the computer.  We could not write them down at all!  But these little cards are special.  They take time to make, they are all different and unique.  They are reminders.
These remind me to treat God's word with awe.  The time I spend making them is time I spend dwelling in His word.  
Time I use the gifts He has given me.  
Time I use to express love for my group.  
Reminders of who I do this for.  
Reminders of why it's important to have memory verses.  
Reminders to take a break from doing one thing only.  
Reminders to stop and enjoy something pleasurable.
So if you're in Tuesday Night Small Group I guess I've ruined the surprise for this week!  But I can't wait to see you anyway.  :)
