Diary of a Bible-Is it Yours?

I came across this today and though it can be a bit of a dramatic exaggeration, I still couldn't help but think of how often I read my Bible and how I cherish it.


So, here goes, The Diary of a Bible--Was it Yours?



January 15-Been resting quietly for a week. The first few nights after the first of this year my owner read me regularly, but he has forgotten me, I guess.

February 2-Clean up. I was dusted with other things and put back in my place.

February 12-Owner used me last night for a short time after dinner, looking up a few references. Went to Sunday School.

March 7-Clean up. I am dusted and in my old place again. I have been down in the lower hall since my trip to Sunday School.

April 12-Busy day. Owner led league meeting and had to look up references. He had an awful time finding one, though it was right there in it's place the whole time.

May 5-In Grandma's lap all afternoon. She is here on a visit. She let a tear drop fall on Colossians 2:5-7.

May 6-In Grandma's lap again this afternoon. She spent most of her time on 1 Corinthians 13 and the last four verses of the 15th chapter.

May 7, 8, 9-In Grandma's lap every afternoon now. It's a comfortable spot. Sometimes she reads me and sometimes she talks to me.

May 10-Grandma is gone. Back in the old place. She kissed me good-bye.

June 3-Had a couple four-leaved clovers stuck in me today.

July 1-Packed in a trunk with clothes and other things. Off on a vacation, I guess.

July 7-Still in the trunk.

July 10-Still in the trunk, though nearly everything else has been taken out.

July 15-Home again and in my old place. It was quite a journey, but I do not see why I went.

August1-Rather stuffy and hot. I have two magazines, a novel and an old hat on top of me. Wish they would take them off.

August 12-Clean-up. Dusted and set right again.

August 20-Used by Mary a few moments today. She was writing a friend whose brother had died, and wanted an appropriate verse.

August 31-Clean-up again.
