Mama's Bible

For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him....2 Chronicles 16:9

Today is a gorgeous sunny day.  It's warm for this time of the year for the south. We are having a mild winter as far as snowfall is concerned.  But we are certainly getting our fair share of rain.

This morning I listened to some of the Bible on tape from Gateway Bible.  I enjoy the sound of the reader.  But I will also read from my own Bible later this morning.  I'm reminded of my mother who had surgery for cataracts before laser surgeries.  That was when actual cutting was done and it took quite awhile.  She had to wear corrective lense glasses even after that and without them she was virtually blind.  She would listen to the Bible on tape. Sometimes she would turn a tape on as she waited for sleep to come and we would listen to the tape together.  She would turn it up loud enough for me to hear it in my room.  Listening to the tape this morning brought back memories of that. 

It's a sure blessing that God has allowed some people to have a desire to record the Bible and other books on tape or CD so that those who can't see have the privilege of hearing them read at their convenience and not to have to depend on the timing of others as to when it would be convenient for them to do the reading.  I, personally, am grateful to those kind strangers whoever they may be.
