gratitude week 24

now that is a hard one
just learned from, eh?
not enjoyed
or
delighted in
or
were annoyed by
or
trifled with
but learned from

I suppose I will pick the Holy Bible.

A book I have read since childhood.
One that I have read through
- completely through -
- without missing one begat -
two times
once as a teenager
and
once a number of years ago.

I certainly have certain sections
that are more meaningful to me
as they speak to who I am and who I am trying to become.

Lots of favourite verses and I would not begin to start
trying to categorize any of them.

Plenty of wisdom in "the Good Book"
and it is a pattern for which I try to live my life.
Once heard that the bible is Gods love letter to his people.
I like that.

"My heart is stirred by a noble theme
as I recite my verses for the king."
