Teach them to your children and to their children after them.

Examples
9. Genesis 31:55-Genesis 32:1 Early in the morning Laban arose and kissed his grandchildren and his daughters and blessed them. Then Laban departed and returned home. Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.
10. Genesis 48:10-13 Now Israel’s eyes were failing because of old age, and he could hardly see. So Joseph brought his sons close to him, and his father kissed them and embraced them. Israel said to Joseph, “I never expected to see your face again, and now God has allowed me to see your children too.” Then Joseph removed them from Israel’s knees and bowed down with his face to the ground. And Joseph took both of them, Ephraim on his right toward Israel’s left hand and Manasseh on his left toward Israel’s right hand, and brought them close to him.
11. Genesis 31:28 You didn’t even let me kiss my grandchildren and my daughters goodbye. You have done a foolish thing.

14. Job 42:16 Job lived 140 years after that, living to see four generations of his children and grandchildren.
15. Ezekiel 37:25 They shall dwell in the land that I gave to my servant Jacob, where your fathers lived. They and their children and their children’s children shall dwell there forever, and David my servant shall be their prince forever.

It’s hard to believe but the school year for our kids and grandkids is coming to an end. And the Awana program at our church has already finished for the year. No more Bible memory verses for the grandkids til September? Ahhhh, but that’s where this Sandwich Generation granny nanny comes in. I love teaching them to “hide God’s Word in their hearts” ALL year long, so each summer for the past few years, we’ve done our own little mini-program of encouraging Bible verses for children and grandchildren. And for the last two years, I’ve shared them here at SandwichINK. Last year, we worked on teaching 1 Corinthians 13 – Love is patient and kind to the grandkids. The year before, it was the Fruit of the Spirit. This year, it’s the Ten Commandments for the children and grandchildren.
Did you know that, while all churches use the same passage of Scripture for the 10 commandments – Exodus 20 – they don’t all divide it the same? I memorized them when I was very young, using the Lutheran catechism. Since half of my grandkids will be using a different catechism, I’m going to use theirs as my guide as I pull their Bible memory verses directly from the Bible, using my beloved New American Standard Bible (NASB), though I may also read the passage from other versions to help them get a fuller grasp of it. Here’s the first commandment for the kids and grandkids – complete with cute country clip art. 🙂
I am the LORD your God…You shall have no other gods before Me. Exodus 20:2-3
Because of the wide span of ages of my grandkids, I’m going to focus on short and easy Bible memory verses for the children. But I will be reading them the whole section of Scripture that covers each verse and I’ll share the whole section here as well, for any of you who want their kids and grandkids to learn extra.
I’ll also be sharing craft ideas and activities along with fun books and songs I turn up to help us all as we work together to learn this important passage from the Word of God. And, as the Heidelberg Catechism points out quite wonderfully, “QUESTION 103. Can any man keep these ten commandments perfectly? ANSWER. No mere man, since the fall of Adam, ever did or can keep the ten commandments perfectly. QUESTION 104. Of what use are the ten commandments to us? ANSWER. They teach us our duty, and show our need of a Savior.” What a great reason to learn these inspirational Bible verses, don’t you think?

Dear Grandparent: This is #20 in a series of 66 Bible Faithbuilding Bible Verses to Memorize With Your Grandchildren. The thread that weaves itself through these verses, one from each book of the Bible, is designed to create a heart of strong faith in you and your grandchild as you commit them to memory together. May God add his blessing to every word.
THE VERSE
Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways, acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
THE STORY
Proverbs is the 20th book in the Bible. It’s written by a very smart man named Solomon, who was the son of David, Israel’s first king. The principles in the Proverbs are written as a legacy of instruction from Solomon, who wasn’t just smart – the Bible calls him the smartest man who ever lived. “God gave Solomon wisdom and very great insight and a breadth of understanding as measureless as the sand on the seashore.” I Kings 4:29
THE REASON
We are memorizing this verse together because during your life now and your life ahead, there will be times when you don’t know what to do. There will be times when other people have disappointed you, and you might not know who to trust. God gave us this verse so we would always remember that He can always be the one we trust in the most. This verse is a promise directly from God! When we try to fix everything or even try to understand everything that happens in the world, we can start kind of stumbling through life, as if we’re walking on a crooked path. God promises to straighten out the path when we use our whole heart to trust in him.
PERSONALIZE IT YOUR OWN WAY
I remember this verse really jumping off the page when I read through the book of Proverbs in college. Dating was a lot of fun in high school, but in college, I started to understand the seriousness of it. I wasn’t just getting a date for the prom anymore – I was looking for a husband! This promise spoke straight to my searching heart. If I trusted God and didn’t lean on my own fickle understanding, if I acknowledged that he was the one who could do it, he would make a path straight to my man.
MEMORIZE IT
Older kids: Draw a big heart on a piece of paper. Write the words of the verse around the outline of the heart. Decorate the inside of the heart with crafty stickers and markers.
Younger kids: Make two connect-the-dots versions of the word “trust” on large sheets of paper. Sit with your grandkids at the table or on the patio, connecting the dots and filling in the letters with colorful markers.
Any age: Create your own simple sign language version of the verse. Hand motions make memorization much easier!
MEMORIALIZE IT
Set up a family YouTube channel, or take lots of pictures for a 66 Verses Photo Book.
