God's grace reaches to me.

On Friday we did some gargage sale shopping. We banked some great deals. 3 cd's for 3 bucks (one of which was Counting Crows - August and Everything After - true story - I almost paid ten bucks for it last week.) a great vase for mosaics, and best of all a copy of Thomas A'Kempis' - Of the Imitation of Christ, copywright 1895! It's beautiful. The inside cover bore this inscription in perfect cursive:
---------------------------------------
To Christine .

" The Lord be over thee
To protect thee.
Under thee to support thee.
And with thee always
To comfort thee. "

Affectionately yours.

Lily Garrett.

Seattle. August 31, 1897

Price = 50 cents
What a blessing, God's grace to me and Tania.
From the book:

"If thou knewest the whole Bible by heart, and the sayings of all the previous philosophers, whaat would it profit thee without the love of God and without grace?"
