The Lord has me engraved in the palm of His hand; perhaps I should get my name tattooed in the palm of mine! Sometimes my mind just goes blank!
There is a teaching in Scripture...to introduce "little children" to the Lord God.
We all know, as people age, there is a regress. We begin as bald, toothless, unknowing individuals...and as we age, hair thins, teeth fall out, memory fades in stages of most recent, still remembering from childhood.
Point being...IF a "little child" has rehearsed in his ears, Christ Jesus, and that is the only memory the child can retain in old age...
All the other things he forgot, is irrelevant.
Interesting...my sister and I used to go to "rest home". They had a "community room", they would bring the residents to during the day sit near some magazines, have a tv playing....and many just sat, saying nothing, eyes a blank stare.
There was also a piano in the room. My sister would play...four types of songs..
1) her favorites she knew...eh, not much response.
2) world war songs...maybe a few head nods.
3) patriotic songs...a bit of tapping of fingers a bit of eye movements of remembering.
4) old time songs about Jesus...a sparkle in their eyes, smile on their lips and singing along!
Just a point of view to not worry about the mind...moreso about the memories in the heart.
Glory to God,
Taken
