Women's Bible study.
What should I put in my bag to
Represent me?
From my closet I pulled out an old colorful
Feed sack to explain that I had grown up on
A farm and wore feed sack dresses to
School.
I love to read, so I slipped a book in
The bag.
And since I'm compelled to write I
Tossed in a few of the half finished poems
That are scattered around the house, scribbled
On scraps of paper.
I included copies of my books too.
But when I noticed that the cover of my
MENDING book was slightly flawed and
Realized I wouldn't be able to sell it, I had an
"Aha" moment.
Why not give it to one of the gals in our
Group.
But how would I choose?
After pondering awhile I decided to
Write a number inside the book.
For no reason I chose 9.
After I finished discussing my items, I gave
My grief book to the ninth lady in the circle, but
Since she already owned a copy we passed it on.
This time the recipient was a younger lady.
I just received an e-mail message from her:
"Thank you! This book is perfect for my mom.
She has been a widow for three years and is
Still struggling...This book has come at the
Perfect time for her."
And now I realize there WAS a reason I
Selected number 9.
