15th Scripture Memory

So, I have several other "things" I'd like to throw out on this blog. These last few weeks have flown by, but I'm hoping to have some time in the next week to add some family posts :)

I began thinking yesterday...what verse should I focus on at this point of this year in my life??? Immediately this verse popped in my head:

Philippians 2:5-8 (New International Version)

⁵Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus:
⁶Who, being in very nature^{a]" style="font-size: 0.75em; line-height: 0.5em; ">[a]} God,
did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,
⁷but made himself nothing,
taking the very nature^{b]" style="font-size: 0.75em; line-height: 0.5em; ">[b]} of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
⁸And being found in appearance as a man,
He humbled Himself and became obedient to death—even death on a cross!

Or at least the beginning of it. I've heard this verse many times, but have not commit it to memory, so this is the time! I've been quite tired the last few days and my attitude has shown it. I cannot recall how many times I've told our boys, "I know you're tired, but you still can't treat ________ like that." I had to apologize and ask for forgiveness for my behavior yesterday. I hate giving in to the enemy!

So, I will focus on my attitude as I memorize these verses. Jesus was always patient, kind, loving and gentle...even when He had taught, healed and traveled all day. I want to be more like Him.
