As I walk down towards the lunch area, I see a 2nd grade student. We lock eyes and exchange hello's. After walking past me, she calls with a big smile, "Jamie! I really like the Bible!" I smile in return, and with a warm heart I reply, "That makes me so happy."
In November, my mom told me that my home church (Harvest Fellowship of Leo, Indiana) wanted to do something for the students of Grace Emmanuel School for Christmas.
I told her that we've dreamed of giving Jesus Storybook Bibles to all of younger students and regular Bibles to the older students. This, however, would be a sizable cost. My mom assures me of her confidence that God will provide the money.
To make a long story much, much shorter, the money was raised! Now, each student has a Bible of their very own. I pray this gift of God's word would be a lamp unto their feet, and a light to their paths.
We owe a huge "thank you" to the generous hearts of Harvest Fellowship! The students' smiles as they received their Bibles was something words could never describe.
Here's a small glimpse of the joy:
