Wayyy back here I committed to memorize Colossians this year. Princess daughter and I have worked over these last months, slowly adding lines. She is sidetracked with Wednesday night memorization. I am sidetracked by a poor memory.
Chapter one plants itself but the words for the next three chapters just won’t stick. So I gather the Word, the printed two verses a week, printout memorization aids, and a cup of coffee and I read out loud. I close my eyes and recite the words. Peeking at the pages, I check my progress, the words just won’t stay in my brain.
So I will continue – daily beginning again - for if at first I don’t succeed – I am committed and will press on for the prize. This reciting, it is a habit worth the effort.
