SHOW & TELL #25 - David's Bible
Here we are again....Friday and Show & Tell time at Kelli's. Write your post and go here for Mr. Linky. Then join the fun and read ALL the other Show & Tell posts.
Many happy days and occurrences going on in our lives.
This is a great big one.
Monday morning David said he'd like to go purchase himself a brand new bible.
He was using a King James Version that had belonged to his Grandmother Errett
that I had given him several years ago and he brought with him from California.
David and I went to the Christian book store and I told him to take his time selecting his new bible.
This is the New International Version he selected. It has a soft leather cover in black with the edges of the pages silver. He selected block letters in silver for his name..
Believe me, this picture does not do it justice.
It is truly a beautiful bible.
Mickey & I purchased it for him as a gift.
We had already planned to do so for him at Christmas.
Another wonderful piece in the mosaic of his returning to His God.
David pointed out to me that the picture on my header for Penless Writer was one he had taken in 1980, at the age of 16.
YES, OUR PRODIGAL HAS INDEED RETURNED!!!!
Continue to rejoice with us

I am rejoicing with you, Susan. Thank you for your words of encouragement and giving me HOPE. Second managed to make my birthday miserable, but yesterday was much better.
I will continue to lift David up in prayer.
Again, thank you, my elephant sister!

What a wonderful show and tell. What a special, special treasure!
And how awesome is it that David is the one that took that photo - I'm so glad you didn't do a new photo, that we used that one when we did the header!!!!
That is truly wonderful Susan. God is indeed Good! I will begin praying with you. Please pray with me (if you will) that my sister would return to the Lord as well. Thanks. Have a blessed day and thanks for sharing.
I love reading your story about your son. What a wonderful blessing for your family to have him back. The Bible was such a wonderful gift. One that he will always remember and I'm sure will stay in your family for generations to come. God Bless!
What a beautiful bible. I love the way God works things out, there are always little surprises tucked in here and there to remind us His hand was in there all along.
So happy your son has returned!
Pretty Bible also thanks for sharing

Rejoicing with you & the angels in Heaven ... \0/\o/\0/
the New Bible David got sounds like the absolute perfect gift.
P.s God bless you all abundantly :]
A beautiful outward adorning of a beautiful story and so many portions that have become a reality in David's and your life. So neat!!!!
It's perfect!! I have my mother's very WORN bible, and I wouldn't part with it for the life of me.
I just want to add a PRAISE JESUS!! What exciting news and source of encouragement. I will keep you all in my prayers.
Psalm 106:1
Yeah! The angels are singing in heaven!
Susan,
I've been terribly behind in reading due to my Grandpa's health and have just spent some time here catching up.
Although I've never been in your position as a parent, I can feel your absolute joy in every word you write about David. I'm so happy for your entire family.

Praising God along with you!
What a gorgeous Bible! I am still rejoicing with you guys1 oh and you have an award so come see!
I'm glad your prodigal has returned. Praise God for His goodness. I will keep David in my prayers.
The photo on your header is wonderful. What a talent David has.
Susan - What a very special day and a special show and tell. I am so happy for you all.
Rejoicing with you! How wonderful the love of God is for us that He brings our prodigals back to Himself and us! Blessings...
That is a pretty Bible, Susan. I had to switch to a large print Bible, but I'll always keep my other one even though I can barely see the words!
Wonderful story about your son, David.
I'm grinning from ear to ear. If only you could see me.
What a great event to share with us.
Susan,
I am sooooo happy along with you and your son. I cannot think of a more wonderful gift to a praying mother than to have her son return to his God. It gives me goose bumps!
that looks nice!
One of the best stories of God's faithfulness I have ever heard. I love that he has a new bible to begin his new walk.
Wonderful Susan, yes rejoicing with you dear sister!
Rejoicing with you indeed! May he have a craving and passion for the words within the beautiful bible!
Katherine
David's new bible is beautiful and he will indeed take great comfort from the written words inside of it. It's wonderful that he has returned to the family and God...praise the Lord indeed! xox
Couldnt pick a better book! Very nice :)
That is such a precious praise! God is so good.
Blessings,
Angela
That is so, so wonderful and I don't think those words are adequate.
God is amazing.
I am so happy for you and of course, your son.
Praise God
Thank you for such an encouraging story. My elder son is estranged from his family and lives in a far away country. We gave no news of him. My younger son is on his own journey. Your story is one of great encouragement. I remind God from time to time that they are His kids as well! I share your rejoicing over David's return. I hope it is not too long before that Bible has been worn in - both with regards to the paper and to his heart.
God's richest blessings on David and his family. Thank you for your tenacity and patience and love to David and for being an example to us all.
Thank you for visiting my blog. I don't know my stuff really - but you can fool some of the people some of the time, don't you think? LOL :-)
Blessings and bliss, dear Susan
BEAUTIFUL INDEED! May the joy and blessings continue!
Once again, your post is SO encouraging to me. By the way, the picture of the Bible is awesome when clicked upon.
Why that is so wonderful. I rejoice with you. The fact that he wanted a new bible speaks volumes.
how fun, how fun! It IS beautiful.
I can feel your joy. I get chills just thinking how joyful you are. Our God is so Awesome!
Hugs!
Kat
That is so fabulous! Praise the Lord for bringing your son back to himself and to you! This is a testament that God does answer prayer!

just lovely, I drove clear across town at the drop of a hat the day Subvet told me he was at the Catholic Store wanting to buy his Bible and I had the checkbook...I'd been praying for him to have a spiriual awakening for years...it's a beautiful sight to behold!
I'm so happy for you.
Oh, Susan, how wonderful! What a beautiful Bible...and that he wanted to pick out a new one is just such an answer to your prayers, I know.
I love that you found out that David actually took the photo in your header!
How wonderful! I know you are rejoicing. We will rejoice with you!
Thank you for the caring comment several days ago on my blog. I am back and refreshed. Sometimes we just need to be still for awhile. I went through one of those times. It was good for me!nxrcbq
Dear Susan, my friend!
I didn't have muxh time for visiting you on Friday so I'm doing so this afternoon:-)
First of all, thank you SO MUCH for your sweet comment about giving the stocking to Ida's daughter in case you're the lucky winner of my give-away! Your are such a generous lady! I passed your comment on to Ida and she was soooo very pleased and touched, too! (She left a second message on my blog on Saturday morning).
Dear Susan, I just read all your previous posts about David and I am rejoicing with you. You are really blessed, his story is so special!
Have a great Sunday - although it's almost over!
Best wishes from Germany,
Anita
Such a time of rejoicing and I rejoice with you Susan.
I can only imagine is one of my favourites too.
Come over and see my surprise on my post.
Another beautiful piece to your story of David's life and testimony.
I had no idea that the photo was really one of yours. It makes it so special to know that :o)
Sure wish we could sit and have a cup of coffee together.
Rejoicing with you dear friend. I'm actually doing the "Happy Dance"!! Can you see me?
That is probably the best Show and Tell you've done up to this point!
How sweet I am so happy for you. sorry I have not been by lately, no internet.
Susan,
I do indeed rejoice with you in the return of your son.....God is so good.
Thank you for commenting on the Confederate Rose...God does all things well.....Betty
How great! So glad he has come back to you!
Susan, this is such a blessing to read. There is just something so special about that process of picking out a bible. I love my bible so much, not for the color(which is pink of course), but for the life giving words we receive from it. I'm rejoicing with you on the great news of your son's journey!
How wonderful to be able to share such great and wonderful news with so many more people than you could have imagined...we are all full of joy! I have a special interest in this story so I will be following it.
Oh PRAISE THE LORD he's returned!!! I'm SO happy for you!
And what a beautiful Bible, thanks for sharing!
God Bless,
Amber
I'm doing the happy dance of joy!!!!!
Go, God!!!
That is neat. Great show and tell.
I'm sure he will treasure that for many years to come.
Oh I am so so delighted and overjoyed to hear your wonderful news! Praise God!
