Siesta Memory Challenge - November 1

It is time again for another memory verse. This time I didn't have one that I knew that I wanted to memorize, so it took me awhile to decide. I have chosen this passage for several reasons. First it begins by reminding me that I need to let the peace of Christ rule in my heart. This is something that I need to do daily. It also reminds me of the importance of having an attitude of thankfulness for all that Christ has give me. Finally it reminds me that everything I do should be something that is worthy of being done in the name of Christ.


Colossians 3:15-17
Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

Here are my previous verses. I can't believe that I can actually say these verses. I had really thought that I had lost the ability to memorize things like I used to. At least I can memorize scripture. I know that it is only with the Lord's help.
