GRANDMA FROGGER's BIBLE


THE MOST IMPORTANT THING ABOUT THIS BOOK IS THAT IT IS GOD'S WORD.  IT'S CALLED THE BIBLE.
It is a book with many books in it.
It is a book that comes from God and many of God's men who wrote those books.
The Bible is more than just made up stories.
It is more than just facts and history.  It helps us to saving faith in God.
But the MOST IMPORTANT THING ABOUT THIS BOOK IS THAT IT IS GOD'S WORD.I always get excited at finding stories such as the following.  I love celebrating. I love the significance of this day , DIA DE LA BIBLIA, a day set aside to honor God’s Word, was celebrated once a year in the churches around Mexico( while I lived there in my earlier years,) encouraged by the Mexican Bible Society.
Celebrated as another harvest/thanksgiving  day with tamales, chicken soup, mole poblano, and Mexican fried rice, and tortillas.
The church services included a lot of singing and music, and recitations of portions of scripture.  The older young people would recite whole chapters while the younger reciting according to their age.
Everyone was encouraged to buy a Bible if they did not have one, to read it, to memorize it.  Those who were illiterate would put us to shame in the large portions memorized.
