Last night our Wednesday lesson was "what is something you couldn't live without or what would be the first thing you would grab on your way out of the door if your house was on fire!" Most of the kids said their Bibles. That got this ole'mind to thinking. In our household, our Bibles are located all together and for easy access. But would that be the first thing I grabbed going out the door. Let's be honest, no. Because how many times I walk by all the collection of Bibles my family has and just keep walking. I have no doubt that my family is no different than others. We have black ones, small ones, orange one, pink one, large blue one, many different versions, one for ladies, one for men, just a big variety of Bibles. When I walk by, I'm too busy. I've got laundry. Supper to fix. Vacuum (oh I think I could put down my Dyson for the third time during a day). Watching Greys. Plucking some weird hair that has popped out on my face. Kids to tend to. Husband to correct (yes... LOL... you know as well as I do, us ladies always have to correct whether we're right or not) You name it, most of the time, I just keep walking by for whatever reason. Now, yes, I do love me some Beth Moore Bible Study and I use a couple of my Bibles for that, and I do prepare on Wednesday evenings and Sunday morning lessons, but just to pick up and get an answer that I need for the day... hardly ever. The easy access part... now what I mean is when we are darting out the door to church... we grab a Bible or two because of the easy access. Most of the adults I know would grab pictures because we consider the pictures irreplaceable. Just thinking how more improved my life might be if I considered less clutter irreplaceable and focused other important things.
