when she got that bible....

My Gramma is pretty special. She is a praying woman.
She's the kind of lady who, if struggling to sleep, will open her bible at 2 am and read.
Her bible is falling apart from use, and she has underlined every word, every verse, and every chapter that has spoken to her heart over the years.
I want my bible to look like that someday.
Today, my grampa bought her a new bible, and he even had her name written in gold letters on the front cover.
My gramma was SO excited. I have never seen someone respond to a bible quite like my gramma did.
I think its because she knows something the rest of us forget, or ignore, or don't comprehend.
She knows it's written to her,
that the words inside are precious
and that the word of God is filled with more love than we could possibly ever know.
I love that.
And I wish more people, myself very much included, had that excitement over God's words!
