For the last several years, I’ve been reading from this set of scriptures every day, with one child in mind during their high school years. I study, underline, mark them up, add personal notes, and consider lessons that need to be shared with the future recipient. Then, when they graduate, I pass them on. Yesterday, I gave this set to Kenzie. I still remember the day I bought these. Money was tight, but I had saved just enough to go buy them at the distribution center. I walked out grinning ear to ear, holding them like a treasure, because that’s exactly what they are. I never miss a day opening these sacred pages. They’re not pristine. They’re marked up, worn down, and filled with the real moments of life. But within these pages is power, power that’s lifted me, taught me, and led me back to Christ time and time again. Kenzie, as you hold these scriptures, you hold my heart. I hope they do for you what they’ve done for me…lead you to Him. I’m so proud of you Kenz and I love you ...
