Keep Your Bible Open...

I was talking with my aunt the other day. She had recently gone to a baby shower where all the women 40 and over were to share a tidbit of wisdom from their child-raising experience. "Always keep your Bible open." is what she said. She went on to share how one of her sons is off at Bible school where they had to write about someone who has had a significant impact on their life. He called home and told his mom that he wrote about her. He told his mom that growing up he had noticed that she always kept her Bible open. My aunt said that there were many times that she would just get a chance to sit down and open her Bible, when one of her four children would be crying or someone would need help with something so she didn't always get around to reading it right away; but she always left her Bible open. Her son saw this and took note. For him it was a reassuring thing to see that his mom was in the Word and spending time with God. This impacted him so much that he would write about it in his college paper. What an example she has set for her children. What a wonderful legacy to leave for her kids. I want to be like that.
