Todd found a little Bible carrier that I had from many many years ago. I’m so glad he found it, because I have been wondering where it had gone. I lost in when we moved into the house (4 years ago!)
I opened up the Bible carrier and there were two Bibles in it. It appears that I bought one of them myself (it was a student Bible,) and one was from a friend I had in England, Adam. Adam is a man I met online back in the mid 90’s and we became pretty darn good friends. He became a Christian and was spreading the Word by sending his teenage friend her first Bible. The reason I know it was from Adam is because he wrote something in the front of the book. When I read it, I smiled and it brought back all the fun Adam and I had chatting online and he even called once in a while to chat. I adored his English accent.
I was looking through some of the verses I had highlighted in my student Bible when I came across a note. It was hand-written and it said, “I {heart} You! ~ Mom” I instantly smiled and my evening was brighter.
My mom wrote this little note and hid it in my Bible when I went on a missions trip to Myrtle Beach in 1997 with friends from my church. My mom also wrote me a card telling me how proud she was of me and how much she loved me. This was through a REALLY rough time for us due to the divorce. I also remember that she secretly packed Twizzlers (my favorite snack) for me to snack on while on the week-long trip in Myrtle Beach.
