RUTH’S COLLECTION
A Christian woman named Ruth writes:
“People are writing and talking about ‘collectibles.’ They can be a hedge
against inflation, sort of a cushion in case of depression. They are small items that
initially may have cost little or nothing but that increase in value in a relatively short
period of time. Included are old stamps, rare coins, old photographs, paintings,
even certain cans and bottles.
I got to thinking. What would be the best collectible for me? Something
that would increase in value ... something that would make me really wealthy ...
something I could share that would be a cushion in case of depression and could
provide comfort in case of the death of a loved one or in old age.
I had it! Bible verses. I had started long ago.
In China, Miss Lucy Fletcher offered us, her students, $5.00 (a lot of money
for a missionary’s kid) if we would memorize the Sermon on the Mount. Hours and
hours of going over and over Matthew 5, 6, 7. When the time came to recite it, I
made one mistake so I got only $4.50. But I wouldn’t take a thousand times that
amount in place of having memorized it.”
“Your word have I hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against you” (Ps.
119:11).
