\"\"<\/h6>\n
This book is very old<\/h6>\n
Like grandma its spine is bent and weak<\/h6>\n
Its pages yellow with age, when opened it creeks!<\/h6>\n
It smells different too, because time has made it so<\/h6>\n
Stacked on dusty bookshelves often forgotten and left to itself\u2026<\/h6>\n
Frayed, thin pages, make them difficult to turn<\/h6>\n
Be gentle with it, for it\u2019s quite fragile and old<\/h6>\n
Weathered many tests and traveled many roads<\/h6>\n
The words may be different than what you\u2019re used to reading<\/h6>\n
But make no mistake the story is worth receiving\u2026<\/h6>\n
It has passed through many hands<\/h6>\n
Found itself in a number of lands<\/h6>\n
Like grandma, it has a story to tell, so hold onto it and become the best of friends<\/h6>\n
Open the first page see the copywrite date of its birth<\/h6>\n
Like grandma it spent a long time here living on this earth~<\/h6>\n
And like grandma this old book is tender and dear<\/h6>\n
Hold onto it, read it with the greatest of care<\/h6>\n
For books and grandma\u2019s, old or new tell amazing stories to inspire you.<\/h6>\n
The old book will fade one day, it\u2019ll be gone without a trace\u2026<\/h6>\n
But like the lines on the pages and furrows on grandma\u2019s face<\/h6>\n
Memories will always be there molded in your heart to share\u2026<\/h6>\n
The old book and grandma, though tattered and torn, will never fade away!<\/h6>\n

Malachi 3:16-18<\/em><\/strong><\/h6>\n
The Message<\/em><\/strong><\/h6>\n
16\u00a0<\/sup><\/em><\/strong>Then those whose lives honored\u00a0God\u00a0got together and talked it over.\u00a0God\u00a0saw what they were doing and listened in. A book was opened in God\u2019s presence and minutes were taken of the meeting, with the names of the\u00a0God-fearers written down, all the names of those who honored\u00a0God\u2019s name.<\/em><\/h6>\n
17-18\u00a0<\/sup><\/em><\/strong>God<\/em>-of-the-Angel-Armies said, \u201cThey\u2019re mine, all mine. They\u2019ll get special treatment when I go into action. I treat them with the same consideration and kindness that parents give the child who honors them. Once more you\u2019ll see the difference it makes between being a person who does the right thing and one who doesn\u2019t, between serving God and not serving him.\u201d<\/em><\/h6>\n
