MY GREATEST GIFT THIS YEAR (GOD’S WORD)

I have been gone for several days and I have much to tell you.  First  and most important is that I must rejoice in the Lord Jesus Christ and His great love and forgiveness.  I saw this Bible on another website and wanted one sooooo bad.  as most of you know, I am  poor in money but rich in love for others.  God rewarded me with one of these wonderful Bibles and He did it in such a unique way that I just had to share with you.  I am following this wonderful site that is written by Dr. Bruce.  The name of the site is Faith and Facts.   Dr. Bruce was running a contest to win one of these Bibles.  He announced the winner but it was not me.  Oh well, I’ll get one someday.  Dr. Bruce sent me an e-mail that he was trying to make sure all of the e-mail address he had were in fact real.  i replied to this e-mail which I do not usually do.  I wanted him to know that indeed I had a real e-mail account and that I enjoyed his work.  The very next day I recieved another e-mail from him explaing that I had won the Bible.  Turns out that the winner never claimed his prize.  he needed my real address andphone number to send me thisBible.  Again, against my norm, I replied with the information.  He linked me on his site and i received my gift in the mail.  i later priced the new bible at the store and was shocke dto learn the Hastings was asking a mere $50.00 for one of these great Bibles.  That may not seem like much to you but to me that is a fortune.

I thank you Dr. Bruce for this gift that you sent me but most of all I thank you for responding to the Holy Spirit by giving such a precious gift.

Much Love,

Cathy

    I think the Bible found the home where it belonged. I know you will read it and treasure it.
