Grandmother's Love

My grandmother got me a big family bible back in 2010. You know the one that sits in the house open. I probably wondered why it was so big when she gave it to me. I know I thanked her for it and hugged and kissed her. I had lost it. Before me and Eric got married I was looking for a bible. I never went to the store though, or got online. I knew I had one. I just couldn't remember where it was.

I went to our Aunt Benita's house on my birthday which was a few months before our wedding. I was talking to her about needing to go get one. She said she had one and she gave me a messenger bible. It was exactly what I needed. My mom came to visit on her way to get my brother. She told me she had something for me. She gave me the bible from my grandmother. I begin to cry, because I thought it was gone forever. I read the not she put in the front. My grandmother had such beautiful handwriting.

I asked my mom how she had it? I was sure I had sent it with my stuff back to my grandmother's house when I left for the air force. My grandmother was a hoarder so even though I was sure where it was I knew I didn't want to dig to find it. My mom said she wasn't sure. I didn't really care I was just glad to have it back. I thanked her.

I told my husband because I told him my grandmother had gave me one. When I opened it. It was marked with a book mark that read I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength Philippians 4:13. I know for sure that was my grandma. She use to go to this store that had everything you needed when it came to the Lord lol. The book marker was on Isaiah 55. How would she know Isaiah would be my favorite book of the bible.

It was most likely marked for the end of chapter 54. No weapon formed against me shall prosper. She use to say that a lot. Chapter 55 speaks about God providing. The proof being in what he did for David. I am living in that right now. I feel it that the shift is going to happen when God changes our life as we know it. Only a grandmother's love could see this moment years after her death.
