We also sang a short song from this passage - Whom have I in heaven but Thee? And there is none upon the earth that I desire beside Thee. My flesh and my heart faileth, but God is the strenth of my heart, and my portion for ever. Seems like the scripture that I have learned to music sticks better - even now when my memory is getting quite slippery.
Happy Thanksgiving to you, JeanBeanM! We have so much to be grateful for! 😊 Be thankful unto God, and bless his name. For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endures to all generations. Psalm 100:4b-5
Welcome to LearnScripture.net Mrsnikki! Looks like you are making a good start. May the Lord bless you as you as you memorize and meditate in His word. :-)
Thanks to each of you! I appreciate the kind words of encouragement from you who are also memorizing scripture - PeterP, joosep and Goodnews who reached this point some time ago, onfire247 who will be here "any minute," and JeanBeanM who is starting the journey. Our Lord is so kind to give us means to connect with and encourage members of His body/the church whom we would likely otherwise never meet. :-) God's blessings to you and, as Goodnews said, "Keep going!"

Yes, thank you TheMoviegoer. I heard someone speak recently of how it can seem a great distance to bring what is in the head down to the heart. That seems to be the case for me. We do need God's grace and forgiveness constantly. And He is so kind and patient to give it to us.
Thanks for your encouragement, TheMoviegoer and brooke19. I think that for me the most challenging accomplishment is to internalize the word of God - over and above merely learning the words, to be changed by it, to make it truly how I think and respond to people/situations.
