Never Without Purpose


After a recent visit to the Goodwill Store, Hubby said he observed a Gideon Bible on the book shelf for sale. Struck by the paradox, he added, "The Gideon's put those in hotels for free."
They do that so the Word of God will be readily and freely able to anyone. When we're traveling, we always check the Gideon bible and very often we can tell it HAS been read. There will be a bit of paper serving as a bookmark or other such things.
Later on, after having thought this oddity of a free Gideon's Bible being on "sale" at Goodwill, I said to Hubby, 
 "You know, if that Gideon Bible could talk, it would have a ton of incredible stories to tell of all the people it helped while it was in a hotel. And it's journey is NOT over. God's not done with it yet. Someone who needs a Bible, who only has $3 to spend, will buy it and it go on being used. It will have more stories.
