The Pink Bible...

i've been getting organized in my office at home...helps give me distractions while working on my thesis...hehe. well, i was going through some books and stumbled across a little pink bible. i opened it up and realized that it was my grandma helen's. a gift from my grandpa. after they passed on, my dad gave it me.

i've been leafing through it lately, and i've got to tell you about this thing...it's amazing!

my grandpa decided that grandma needed a pink bible because that was her favorite color. :) but more than that, he wanted to be sure that important points or verses that would apply more to her were highlighted for her as she read. so he sat for weeks and went page-by-page through the ENTIRE bible, underlining everything that he thought was special.

it's amazing!!!

i don't know if you would agree, but that's one of the most romantic things i've heard in a long time. :)

one of the biggest desires of my life (when the time is right, of course) is to just have someone courageously step into my life that wants to know me, and somehow in even the simplest ways, they let you know that they see you and are witnessing your life unfold. i don't know if i'm explaining it just right, but it's how i'd like to love and be loved. i guess it's how i think god does it, and how he'd like us to love as well.

i don't know if i'm explaining it just right...but, i guess that's why grandma's bible seems so special. he went through it with the "who" of who grandma was in his mind.

hottie...
