The Bible had been missing for Weeks. I was sure I had left it at church, but My search there was fruitless. It was a special copy of the Scriptures since I had given it to Jack on our last Anniversary together. I found comfort in carrying it to Church and turning to the presentation page to Read my inscription to my husband. I prayed that the Bible would eventually Show up. Today I was rummaging in the closet when I Spied it on the shelf, The blue, soft covered treasured book. I laughed in delight as I picked it up and Turned to the dedication page. I had forgotten that I had placed it there Weeks ago. When the woman in Jesus' parable found her Lost coin, she called her friends and Neighbors together and said, "Rejoice with me. For I have found the Piece which I lost."* In lieu of a party I'll do the next best thing. I'll proclaim to my Facebook friends, "My Bible was lost, but now it's found. Join me in my joy. *Luke 15:9 |
