Her Bible

My mother lived her life for Christ. She purposed in her heart to be devoted to God in all areas of her life. She took seriously the study of the Word while trying to balance her many roles. She looked to my father as the head of their house hold for leadership and encouragement.


Her Bible is very special to me and my goal is to use it to study from with my children in the same way she taught us.















One of the many special things my mother did to pass on the faith to us was putting Bible verses up around the house. She loved stickers and pretty little note pads. All over our home were verses stuck in places were you couldn’t miss them; in the bathroom, next to the kitchen sink and in notes she wrote to us. I quickly memorized these verses seeing them over and over again. They often carried a similar theme of obedience to parents, God and living a wise life. Some of the verses were

Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it. Proverbs 22:6

I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you. Psalm 119:11




She had notes and verses she wanted to remember written in the front and back of her Bible.
