DIARY OF A BIBLE
Revised and adapted, from Gospel Tract Society, Inc.
January 15 -- I've been resting for several days. Although my owner read me daily for the first few days of the new year, not so much since.
February 2 -- Today was clean-up day. I was dusted along with other items in the room, and then returned to the shelf.
February 24 -- My owner used me for a few minutes to look up a few verses. (He went to Sunday school this morning.)
April 10 -- I was dusted and placed on the coffee table because the preacher came over for dinner. After he left I was returned to the shelf.
May 12 -- Busy day! After being assigned to give a devotional, it took my owner 10 minutes to find me. It took him an hour to locate two Scriptures for his talk.
June 5 – I’m resting on Grandma's lap; she's here for a visit. As she read Isaiah 53, tears fell on my pages.
June 6 -- On Grandma's lap again. She spent over an hour reading from Psalms and John.
June 7-11 -- I've been on Grandma's lap every day. It's nice to feel needed!
June 12 -- Grandma is gone so I'm back on the shelf. She squeezed me before leaving.
July 20 -- I was dusted, and then a Gospel tract was stuck between my pages.
August 1 -- Hooray! I was taken off the bookshelf and placed in a suitcase. We’re going on vacation!
August 7 -- I'm still in the suitcase – stuffy and dark in here.
August 12 -- Still in the suitcase, although everything else has been in and out several times.
August 15 -- I'm home again and back on the shelf. I have no idea why my owner took me.
September 9 – Its dark. I'm buried under several magazines, a novel and a hat.
October 18 -- My owner’s wife found me. She opened me for a few minutes because she recently attended ladies Bible class.
November 10 -- I was taken to church today and held up to be counted. Sadly, I was never opened.
December 16 -- Dusted again. I'm lonesome. Wish Grandma was here.
December 31 -- It's been a lonely year for me. However, I expect to be read for the next week or two. I just wish I was as important as the daily paper or TV remote!
