Memory Verse for the Memory Impaired

Younts2_2  I am re-reading Everyday Talk:  Talking Freely and Naturally about God with Your Children by John Younts.  My memory stinks, so I am constantly re-reading books.  It is really sad.  I know I read this book a couple years ago and loved it, but now it is like I am reading it for the first time.  So frustrating (if only I had a brain that worked).  Well...I think this is one of those books I need to read yearly.  This book is full of great biblical insight.  I just hope I am able to absorb and apply it.  I just read the fourth chapter "Holy Directions", giving directions to your children. I definitely need improvement in this area, so here is my memory verse... "Whoever gives heed to instruction prospers, and blessed is he who trusts in the LORD.  The wise in heart are called discerning, and pleasant words promote instruction.  Understanding is a fountain of life to those who have it, but folly brings punishment to fools.  A wise man's heart guides his mouth, and his lips promote instruction.  Pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones."  Proverbs 16:20-24 Pleasant Words Promote Instruction!
