Read and Worship BIG!

 

Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. ~Psalm 119:105

I look forward to my daily Bible reading as I seek God's wisdom and reflect upon His promises.  My goal is always to complete the entire Bible within the course of a year, and start over again when the new year rolls around.

Lately, however, this practice has become a struggle.  Not because I've ceased to enjoy it, but because no matter how I angle the light in my study room or pull the Bible closer to me, the type is frustratingly small.  I mention to Danny that, perhaps, I should look into one of those reading magnifiers that you can drape around your neck.  He promptly researches these on Amazon, but none of them look appealing, and few come with high recommendations.

Nix that!

I'll just press on in spite of the inconvenience.

Last Wednesday, I'm checking out mail and blogs on my laptop when Danny asks me what to me sounds like an out-of-the-blue question.  "Have you done your Bible reading yet today?"

I give him a quizzical look.  "Not yet.  I wanted to finish up a few things here before I go back to the middle room.  Why?"

"Just let me know what you think when you do," he says rather cryptically.

Okay, that does it!  I hastily finish up what I'm doing on the computer and retreat to my middle room study.  When I flip on the desk lamp, I can hardly believe my eyes!

Danny has unexpectedly gifted me with a large print Bible!  I'm over the moon with excitement and gratitude!  "I even made sure to order you one with a pink cover," he quips.

Yes, Danny knows my favorite girly color.  I even have a pink-colored case protecting my smart phone.

How he manages to place the order, sneak the delivery box into the house, inscribe it to me and still keep all under the cloak of secrecy is a mystery he won't divulge, and that's okay by me.

Can you see what he's written to me at the top aside my name?  Read and worship BIG!  

That first day of reading the large print version is a dream come true.  So much so, that I read way beyond my intended amount for that day.  I do so again the next day.  And the next.  And the next.

I'm still on a roll as I type this up for Tuesday's blog.  Oh, goodness, is it that time already?  Excuse me, friends, while I retreat to my favorite study place with my favorite teacher:  Our Father in heaven.

Amen!
