DOWN ON BENDED KNEES
The four girls were very excited about spending their weekend on the beaches. They had been planning this trip for a while now and were all looking forward to a fun-filled weekend. Waking up early, they began loading stuff into the trunk of the sedan they were taking.
With everything necessary stowed, their mother called them, telling them she’d feel better if they took a Bible along. As if on cue, they all said no, but if she insisted, she should drop it in the trunk with their other stuff as they did not want it with them. So they drove off with it in the trunk.
About an hour later, the mom was called and told her kids had been involved in an accident. On getting to the hospital, her daughters were in bad shape, but there was a curious thing, despite how bad the accident was, the trunk was neatly arranged with a Bible on top.
On hearing this, she fell to her knees, crying profusely. When asked why she was crying, she said the trunk was safe only because her kids didn’t want the Bible.
