The Diary of a Bible

Topic: Bible

JANUARY 15 - I've been resting quietly for a week. The first few nights

after New year's Day my owner read me regularly. But now I guess I've been forgotten.

FEBRUARY 24 - I got out to Sunday School today and my owner used me for family devotions.

APRIL 10 - I was dusted today and put on the center table in the living

room. Special company was here, but now I'm back on the shelf again.

MAY 12 - Busy day. My owner had to lead a lesson at church.

Had quite a time finding me, and then hunted and hunted to find the texts he needed.

JUNE 5 - I'm in grandma's lap. She's here on a visit. She let a tear fall

on Colossians 2:5- 7 when Paul praised the believers for living in Jesus.

JUNE 9 - In grandma's lap again. I've been here every day. It is such a

comfort to be appreciated and loved.

JUNE 10 - Grandma is gone and I'm back in the same old place. She kissed me before she left.

JULY 4 - Had a couple of 4-leaf clovers stuck in me today.

AUGUST 1 - Packed in a suitcase with clothes. Off on a vacation, I guess.

AUGUST 7 - Still in the suitcase.

AUGUST 15 - Home again and on the shelf. Not sure why he took me along.

OCTOBER 18 - Pastor visited today, so I was put on the center table in the

living room.

NOVEMBER 10 - Was brought to church today and held up to be counted.

DECEMBER 16 - Dusted off today but not opened.

Wish grandma would come and visit again.

DECEMBER 31 - Today I was used at the dinner table. Each member of the family was blindfolded in turn and put a finger on a "good luck" verse for

the new year. Everyone was quiet when my owner's finger landed on Hosea

:6.
