Back before the collapse of the atheistic Soviet Union, some helpers offered to help in the handing-out of Bibles, as New Testaments were provided by a Bible Association at the Moscow Book Fair.
The authorities had granted them reluctant permission to hand out a limited number of Russian language New Testaments, & long lines of people waited in line to receive a copy.
When the supplies were exhausted, one desperately disappointed man asked if he might have one of the empty boxes that had once held those Testaments......
"But there's nothing in there!" one of the helpers handing-out Bibles protested.
"The Bibles are all gone!"
With tears glistening in his eyes, the man replied, "Then I at least want the box."
The Bible was so precious to this man that he treasured the cardboard box that had held the Scriptures....
Remakable Gratitude...!
May our eyes be opened to the astonishing privilege that is ours to hold the complete written Word of God in our very hands.......
May I/ you also treasure it rather in my/our hearts; to be manifested in the reality of Daily Life through, Holy Spirit enhanced Words & Actions!
Shalom
