Gran and Pop gave Miriam her first Bible. It is called "The Jesus Storybook Bible" and it is awesome. It reiterates over and over again how God loves us with a "Never Stopping, Never Giving Up, Unbreaking, Always and Forever Love." We read from this Bible every day---here's a quote from last night's story, it is the concluding paragraph from the story of Joseph and his coat of many colors:
One day, God would send another Prince, a young Prince whose heart would break. Like Joseph, he would leave His home and His Father. His brothers would hate him and want him dead. He would be sold for pieces of silver. He would be punished even though he had done nothing wrong. But God would use everything that happened to this young Prince---even the bad things---to do something good: to forgive the sins of the whole world.
