This is a link to No Place Like Home Show and Tell Friday.Today I am showing two Bibles. The one on the left belonged to my dad. He passed away in 1994. The one on the right is a Chain Reference Bible I bought for my self about 37 years ago for around $18.
I am most thankful for the Word of God. It is what will keep us when all of our treasures are gone.
The centerpiece is one my daughter gave me this year and the coffee table came from the company where I work.
Now to use some of the ideas that were shared this week: I bought everything I needed for the Thanksgiving Blessing snacks. I thought this would be something I can make ahead to take to Ohio next week. Kmart had some fall cookie cutters. My plan is to make my sisters' sugar cookie recipe. For the apple dumplings I'm making for work I thought I might try using one of cookie cutters on the dough for a leaf or acorn shape on top. This morning I gathered pine cones from my yard and used them for the break table at work with the leaf cut outs glued at the end. My pine cones are long and not too fat so they don't look much like a turkey. I stacked some on top of each other and I think it makes a nice decoration for our dinner on Tuesday at work.
Amen! Amen! And AMEN!!!

I dearly wish my father had been 'saved' and I'd been able to inherit a bible from him. What a treasure and comfort this must bring you.

Lovely Bibles, wonderful family
ReplyDeletetreasures!
I love seeing peoples Bibles. One of my bibles has the binding coming off of it. I can still read it, but know I will need another one soon. The problem is, I like all the underlining and notes on it, that I dont want to put it on the side. I guess that will teach me to buy a better bound book next time!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment you left about aprons, it made me smile! Jennifer
