"Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee."
Psalm 119:11 · KJV
How the household learns a verse
Pick one card. Read it aloud with a parent. Say it three times before bed each night. In one week, it will be in your heart.
These verses are short on purpose. The Bible is long — but its heart can be carried a small piece at a time.

More cards coming
The household writes these one at a time. When a verse has been prayed with a child and the child has said it back, only then does it become a card.
