After my trying day today I came home to find a bag on the counter...inside was my Beloved aunt Mims personal bible... along with a note that said that she felt led to see me have it...
You have to understand how strong her faith is and how important this book of God is to her... It is filled from front to back with her own underlinings and hand written notes... She had marked certain scriptures that were perfect for helping me get through this...
As well as a handwritten recipe folded neatly inside by My Gram... and a picture of her tucked in the pages... I lived with my Gram for some years and miss her terribly...she lived her life for God and has passed and now lives in heaven...
It was Gram that I said I felt sitting with me and holding my hand as I had that long and painful biopsy procedure...whether I imagined it or invented it to get me through it felt so real...
Wondering if any of you other ladies that have gone through this type of thing have had similar experiences?
So now Grams picture goes into my Resource book from Magee that is now my book of life along with my Aunt Mims note and I will read and treasure this bible and get strength and comfort from it...
By the way the Aunt that gave me this bible has her own heartache my Uncle has leukemia...and I am sure she has spilled many tears, and found solace within those pages...
It touched me deeply but I became oeverwhelmed with emotion and the tears have flowed for most of the day...Something that I have not allowed to happen since the beginning of this as I didn't think if I started the tears would ever stop and I had so much to do in so little time...
The tears did stop and now I am exhausted but okay...Tomorrow will be a better day...and I will pull strength from this beloved Bible...as I will really need it through this journey...
Love you all...have sweet dreams..
