Print Reminders
Print off 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 from my resource library then hang it up during the week. Either keep it hung up by the bed where you practice each evening or print out multiple to keep the verse a friendly reminder! Choose from two different versions.
Lesson
Explaining the meaning of the verse to your child can enhance their memorization.
When discussing with your child you can break the verse down to three commands. I’ve included a children’s lesson for each one. You can choose which one you’d like to focus on with your children.
- rejoice – lesson for rejoicing always
- pray – a lesson on praying
- give thanks – cultivating a thankful heart
