| I am a little girl's first Bible. I was purchased by her grandmother in Jerusalem and was given as a Christmas present when she was 12 years old. |
 |
| My inscription reads: "Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God. Matthew 5:8 Dear Colleen; May these words live in your heart always. Love, Grandma and Grandpa Weishampel |
 |
| Some of her favorite scriptures were written here. She loved me once. |
 |
| For a time I was read quite often. Then, very sadly, she put me in a box where I stayed for many years. My words were not wanted. Then, one glorious day the box was opened and my words once again filled her heart. Now, she cherishes my words and reads them every day. She wishes she had taken better care of me for I am worn and stained. My back cover is missing. I'm not worried though because I know my words are in her heart, never to be buried in a box again. |
