The Good Book

Tuesday’s Thought

I mentioned last week that I recently went to a genealogy seminar. The speaker shared that his grandmother would sit on her front porch every day and read the Scriptures. I imagine her rocking back and forth with an open Bible resting on her lap.

As a six-year-old, the young boy was intrigued with his grandmother’s dedication to what she called the “Good Book.” Day after day and month after month she’d read the worn pages.

“Grandmother,” he asked one day, “When are you going to finish that book?”

“Never.”

“Never?” he answered in disbelief.

“Never until the day I die.”

As the boy's grandmother went to Scripture every day, she gave a wordless sermon to her grandson about what’s important in life.

What a memory! What a model! What a message!

He is able,
Mary
