My Mother's Faith

I had a give-away copy of a Book of Mormon on my book shelf. I don't know where it came from or how it wound up in my collection. I couldn't find my quad, and still can't, so I started reading from it, because I wanted to read nightly before sleep. Two nights ago, I found on the inside page a note from my mom. This book was intended to be given away, she had wrote her testimony of the BoM in it. It never found its way into that person's hands. I've been contemplating asking my mom about it and seeing, if we can find the person, if she'd be willing to send it now. Anyway, last night, I was just randomly opening up to a passage when color caught my eye. The book had been marked up. Not like randomly drawn on by some child with an overzealous imagination, but passages had been marked in the book. Scripture masteries, passages about how this book testifies of Christ and how precious the Gospel is. I am amazed! I'm sure my own scriptures may have some of these passages marked due to its tenure in my collection, but this book was prepared to be given to a non-member, to cue them into some of the important parts of this marvelous work! I am so excited to go through the book now and find each and every one of the scriptures that my mother marked. Obviously they mean something to her and I hope I can find that meaning. My mother's faith and strength amaze me.
