I have a bible my Auntie gave me 20 years ago, sometimes I am fliking through to find a reference and I notice something I have highlighed years ago, here is what I found tonignt, it seemed Poignant so I thought I would share.

Alice, thank you so very much.

You can learn a lot about a person by the Bible passages they mark. I have my mothers and one from my favorite aunt, she was a missionary for many years. When I go through them, it's like they are still with me and I know I will be with them again.

Very true Alice thanks for sharing!

Thank you Alice. I so enjoyed that.

Excellent Alice the BIBLE never grows old !!Its promises are new every morning hugs carolyn

I write in my Bible all the time..hope someday where I'm gone my grandkids & kids will read it & see what God taught me over the years! This yr. DH had my Bible rebound so I'd still have all my notes. He said, "You do know I could have bought 3 new Bibles for the cost of rebinding this one?" Yep! He's such a sweetie!

He sure is.

Thank you so much for sharing with us.

Thanks for sharing. The Bible is my favorite book. And yes, mine is also marked and written in.

Thank you for sharing.

That's a good one Alice, you know this can also refer to spiritual things. I know we sometime take scripture relative but with this one when you think about it on the spiritual level, "by wisdom a house is built" meaning our spiritual growth, "through knowledge it's rooms are filled with rare and beautiful treasures" because of God's word we are filled with wonderful treasures and promises.
Thank you for reminding me of this. Hugs to you. Terre

I LOVE it.

Sometimes, just sometimes the Bible opens at places that seems to me like a message just for me. Thanks for this. Hugs Marie

Marie, that happens to me all the time - I know it is a message that I am supposed to have - right now - from God.

Thank you for sharing!

Proverbs is such a great guide for living! I love it; don't you? &...thanks for sharing this!

It may be silly of me, but there have been times when I have been flipping through my bible, that I come across a particular verse that I marked years earlier. I will read and reread the verse, because it seems to have a significant meaning I should grasp to deal with the problems at hand presently! The "Spirit" within, at work, I suppose!

very nice.

I do that with my own Bible. I'll find things I highlighted years ago and they seem so appropriate. But, of course, that's the Holy Spirit at work!!
