Pictures
Another thought before I forget it.
Miss Laura was discussing pictures with me a long time ago... probably three or four years... And the fact that we are happy, nay, overjoyed to find pictures of our great-great-grandparents and treasure the picture, even though everyone's frowning, and invariably one of the children appears to have just swallowed a lemon. But if we were to see a picture like that of ourselves, its next home would be the trash. Why did we keep the old one that's warped and half-faded?
It's because something's value always goes up the less you have of it. That's true of anything, including the one pink Tupperware bowl that I'm told my brothers and I fought over when we were little. Allow me to apply this rule to something else.
I can tell you for a fact that we have at least six Bibles. I could not tell you where all of them are. On a shelf somewhere, I suppose... Now, some missionaries I know went to (I think) Fiji. They were telling us about an elderly lady that they had given a Bible to. It was the first one she had ever had. She was so happy she put the Bible into her shirt and held it as tightly as she could. It was the Word of God, and she knew its value. She probably still has that Bible with her.
Now I'm going to go find the Bibles around the house. I don't know where I will put them all, but I can assure you they won't be under a pile of junk when I'm done. Where are your Bibles at? |
