Read It Again

Our Sunday Bulletin was a picture of a Grandmother and a grandson reading a book. Here is the quote from the back cover.

READ IT AGAIN
"Can we read this one again, Gram?" my grandson asked as he climbed onto my lap clutching his favorite book. THE POKY LITTLE PUPPY We had already read it several times. After about the fifth, I could pause midsentence, and he would complete it. When I turned to the last page Tyler declared, "No desserts unless puppies never dig holes again!" That's how I like to read the Bible. I can't grasp a portion of Scripture after reading it once. Sometimes I read the same verses every day for a month. When I'm not sure what to read. I turn to a favorite passage and delight in its promises again. Before I know it, I can pause midverse and complete it from memory. I like to imagine my heavenly Father smiling as I climb onto His lap, clutching my Bible, and Ask, "Can we read this one gain, Dad?"
