The Bible and man are similar. Man is a physical and non-physical being.
The Bible is a tangible and non-tangible entity
– You can hand It in your hand
– You can hide It in your heart.

“Holy Bible, Book Divine”
Holy Bible, book Divine,
Precious treasure, thou art mine;
Mine to tell me whence I came;
Mine to teach me what I am.
Mine to chide me when I rove;
Mine to shew a Saviour’s love;
Mine art thou to guide my feet;
Mine to judge, condemn, acquit.
Mine to comfort in distress;
If the Holy Spirit bless;
Mine to shew, by living faith,
Man can triumph over death.
Mine to tell of joys to come,
And the rebel sinner’s doom;
Holy Bible, book Divine,
Precious treasure, thou art mine.
John Burton, Sr. died this date 6/24/1822, at Leicester, England. He was a Baptist who wrote a number of hymns and helped compile the Nottingham Sunday School Union Hymn Book a hymnal that saw twenty editions in the next fifty years. John was born 2/26/1773, at Nottingham, England.
A Grandkid’s Thanks

Thank you God for ten fingers, and my running toes,
Thank you for my two big ears and my runny nose.
Thank you for the hair on my head,
And for sentences my eyes have read,
Thanks for the words my tongue just said,
And thank You for my tummy–well fed.
Thank you for the good Mother of mine,
Who does my cloths and supper so fine.
Thank You God for my grand ole dad
Though at times he makes me sad,
Spanking (he thinks I’m been bad!)
All other hours he makes me glad.
Thank You God for your Holy Bible,
Because by it our family is able,
To read the promises that are very old,
To hear the story of David so bold,
Be warned to be either hot or cold,
And read of parables which are ten-fold.
And Lord, I’d really be remiss,
(Image my grandchild saying this.)
If I forgot to thank You for
Gram and Gramp (wish they lived next door).
Thanks for cousins, aunts, uncles and more,
Thanks for blessings, blessings galore.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING ! ! !
