I taped it up this morning as it once again looked ready to split. That was my Well Worn Bible that I have turned to over the last 20 years for inspiration, guidance and hope. The exterior beauty has worn off, but the wisdom on the pages within has become clearer.
To me its like the owners manual to a car, or in this case an owners manual for life. As I turn each page a note or highlight pops up, or I'll go several pages that were untouched and realize I failed to read that part. I can see what I learned, how God spoke to my heart, and how he brought me through that crisis and that other one too. I can review the lessons I taught others and see those passages that I did not understand without more study, and I can pick it up, hold it close and realize how much God loves me, how much I have treasured this amazing journey, and see how much I have grown in my faith. Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth become Bring It Before the Lord Every day! It's a relationship connector between the two of us, it's a spiritual gift to my soul, and the way, the truth and the light unto my path to heaven. Can't imagine where I'd be without it, no matter how much tape it needs!
