Perfect Gift

Just shared with Kinya the following: Emily had asked me for a Bible for her birthday present this year; the design he'd purchased for her was the very one she'd been wanting--GOD KNEW. And then the Lord got a Bible Jacket in hand for me for half price.

At first glance, the Bible Jacket made for my Bible was a bit too small--but when you took a good look, it was custom-made to fit specific needs! I don't know if you remember Susan Bishop (was at the field conference you came to--in 1986?), but she measured my Bible and sewed me one in the U.S., after they were there for Paul's further schooling. Well, by the time it came, I'd lost the front cover of my Bible--long story--so wouldn't have been able to insert it into the jacket's cover pocket even if it HAD been larger, and since it was smaller, I ended up just placing my Bible inside and wrapping the jacket around it, holding it together with the ribbon. The quilted cloth jacket is actually acting like the cover of the Bible itself, and the way it's being held together is best for the pages that seem to be falling apart now!

Sometimes God's choices don't look "fitting and good"--oh but we can KNOW they're the "perfectest" match for our unique needs!
