Let’s be like a tree. Like a tree that is planted by water. A tree ready to bring forth fruit in its season. Let’s plant ourselves by the living water of God’s Word. Come be refreshed as we meditate on God’s Word together.
Psalm 42:1-8
As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.
My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?
My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?
When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in me: for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday.
Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance.
O my God, my soul is cast down within me: therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan, and of the Hermonites, from the hill Mizar.
Deep calleth unto deep at the noice of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.
Yet the LORD will command his lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life.
New to Like a Tree?
Psalm 1:1-3 encourages us to meditate on God’s Word day and night. God tells us that when we do, we will be like a tree planted by water. A fruitful tree. A tree that stays fresh and green. Join me on Like a Tree as we meditate on God’s Word together.

God Made You and Me was written especially for little children. This simple song communicates the very important truth that God made us and that He made us either male or female. God Made You and Me is one of the suggested songs in the First Place Plans 2A and 2B.
If you have little ones, I hope you will all enjoy singing it together!

So many wonderful hymns are full of truth from the Scriptures! As you enjoy singing hymns with your children, your children will begin to lay up these truths in their hearts. And these hymns can remain with them, ready in their hearts to one day be sung with the next generation.
Hymns comfort, encourage, lift up our eyes to Jesus and renew our spirits. Let’s keep singing hymns!!
Note: This hymn is included in First Place Plans 2A and 2B.
Praise the Savior, Ye Who Know Him
Verse 1
Praise the Savior, ye who know Him!
Who can tell how much we owe Him?
Gladly let us render to Him
All we are and have.
Verse 2
Trust in Him, ye saints, forever;
He is faithful, changing never;
Neither force nor guile can sever
Those He loves from Him.
Verse 3
Keep us, Lord, O keep us cleaving
To Thyself and still believing,
Till the hour of our receiving
Promised joys with Thee.
Verse 4
Then we shall be where we would be,
Then we shall be what we should be;
Things that are not now, nor could be,
Soon shall be our own.
Words: Thomas Kelly

Do you have the blessing of a baby in your home this year? Would you like a creative and practical idea to help you memorize a Bible verse while you are caring for your baby?
Grace is the mother of a sweet baby daughter. She recently shared an idea with me and she was willing for me to share it with you!
When she is at the changing table, she can read the memory verses found on the white board. And when she reads the verses out loud, not only will she hear her memory verses, her baby daughter will have the opportunity to hear them too! Now that is a great idea! Would you like to give it a try?
Thank-you so much Grace, for the idea and for the picture of your whiteboard!
