No need to worry. I didn't forget the last of the 10 commandments Bible memory verses for our kids and grand children. We'll be right back at them next week. But with all the patriotic red white and blue fun and music we've been enjoying this week, I thought some encouraging and inspirational Bible verses for that topic would be appropriate. And being a Sandwich Generation granny nanny, I am nothing if not flexible. So join me in a bit of flexing for some cute happy holidays clipart along with an important reminder for ALL our countries, wherever we may live.
If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14
While these words of encouragement are found in the Old Testament, God has also told us in the New Testament to pray for those in authority over us that we may live in peace. What great Bible memory verses for our children and grand kids, don't you think? 🙂
For more inspirational and encouraging Bible verses and pictures for all of us in the Sandwich Generation, busily caring for elderly parents and babysitting grandchildren, be sure to visit Internet Cafe Devotions for Word-Filled Wednesday. And also,

We were discussing this verse in our small group study on Monday. We certainly need to pray for those in authority and for our nation.
Blessings,
