Burgers 1st BofM

Last time I went to the temple, we wandered into the distribution center (which I love to do) and found these tiny little Book of Mormons, they were 4$ and I thought the little ones might would like them. SO this morning we gave Burger his 1st very own Book of Mormon and he squealed with delight,  jumped up and down said "oh, thank you" and has had it in his sweet sweaty little hands all day. Every time I see him he says to me "I love my Bouk of Mooman!" and squeezes it tight to his chest. Even after his nap he wandered round until he could find it again and was devastated when he saw that a few pages were gently bent. Golly, if we would all cherish our BofM this way. Once again, I found myself genuinely inspired by my little people.
"I love our scriptures. I love these wonderful volumes, which set forth the word of the Lord—given personally or through prophets—for the guidance of our Father’s sons and daughters. I love to read the scriptures, and I try to do so consistently and repeatedly. I love to quote from them, for they give the voice of authority to that which I say. I do not claim distinction as a scholar of the scriptures. For me, the reading of the scriptures is not the pursuit of scholarship. Rather, it is a love affair with the word of the Lord and that of his prophets.....May the Lord bless each of us to feast upon his holy word and to draw from it that strength, that peace, that knowledge “which passeth all understanding” (Philip. 4:7), as he has promised." President Gordon B. Hinckley, “Feasting upon the Scriptures,”

'Tis true. If I only treasured my scriptures as much as your son does.

I have been going through a scripture crisis lately. I don't know what to read, when to read, and how to read! It has been hard. You just reminded me that I just need to read. Once I act, my questions will be answered.

Thanks for this, Jen!!
