Monthly Bible Memory Verse Challenge – Month 12 – Blessings
I’ve chosen the word “BLESSINGS” for this month. Oh, how many blessings we receive from our Heavenly Father…and yet, sometimes we completely miss them because of our busy lives! Or, perhaps we tend to focus on the negative more than the positive. How do we know that God blesses us? His Word says so!
