Activity
Learn the memory verse (Psalm 119:4-6) together as a family. Write it with wipe-off markers on your bathroom mirror. Practice “popcorn style,” where each family member says one word until the entire verse is completed. Write it on an index card and keep it in the car or make up your own hand motions.
