Almost a year ago...

One of my most prized possessions is the Bible that was my grandfathers. This isn't just any Bible. It is his own commentary. On almost every page he has things circled, reference verses, words of wisdom, definitions, and commands. I've only had it since last fall, but it has been such a blessing to me. Each time I sit down with it, I can almost imagine him reading the same scripture. And he is teaching me things through his suggestions that I wouldn't have necessarily noticed. And he is pushing me to dig deeper.

On the very first page, he has written in all caps "I BELIEVE BUT I DO NOT UNDERSTAND ALL THAT IS IN THIS BOOK." And boy, doesn't that explain my Christian walk! His questions have been answered now. He's at the feet of Jesus. And one day all of our questions will be answered too.
I am so thankful for the godly grandparents I was given. I am blessed in so many ways.
