They have to be pretty small to accept those terms but she thought it was a great trade and eagerly agreed. I had read Psalm 1 and really liked it. It was simple yet profound; and it was short &#8211; only six verses. I really wanted her to succeed so I made up all sorts of fun ways to help her learn it. On the ride to church each Sunday I would test her and we would repeat it together over and over.<\/p>\n<p>As I recall, it took her a couple of months to get to the place where she was ready to recite it for the money. In the meanwhile I realized that I had memorized it too. I couldn&#8217;t be watching the road and the Bible at the same time so I had to have it in my mind pretty well. And how could I tell her it was a passage worthy to commit to her heart but not have it committed to mine?<\/p>\n<p>One fine Sunday morning she finally took her test and got her dollar. But an interesting thing happened to me; I continued to read Psalm 1 over the years and meditate on it and pray it and I am still doing it to this day. It got down so deep inside me that it has practically become my life scripture. It has really set a course for my life. Here&#8217;s how I pray verse 3 which is my favorite: &#8220;I am like a tree planted by streams of water that brings forth its fruit in its season, my leaf does not wither and in whatever I do I prosper.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When asked her favorite scripture passage as an adult, Danielle will tell you hers is the 23rd Psalm. She barely remembers the Psalm 1 incident. But for me? That was one of the best dollars I ever spent!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Listen to the audio version:<\/strong><\/p>\n<!--[if lt IE 9]><script>document.createElement('audio');<\/script><![endif]-->\n<audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-624-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/hannahscupboard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Best-Dollar-I-Ever-Spent-11_3_17-3.09-PM.m4a?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/hannahscupboard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Best-Dollar-I-Ever-Spent-11_3_17-3.09-PM.m4a\">https:\/\/hannahscupboard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Best-Dollar-I-Ever-Spent-11_3_17-3.09-PM.m4a<\/a><\/audio>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When my daughter Danielle was pretty small I offered to pay her a dollar if she would memorize Psalm 1.
