The Bible or a Diamond Ring? > A married lady was expecting a > birthday gift from her husband. For many months > she had admired a beautiful diamond ring in a showroom, and > knowing her husband could afford it, she told him that was > all she wanted.. As her birthday approached, this > lady awaited signs that her husband had purchased the > diamond ring. > > Finally, on the morning of her birthday, her > husband called her into his study. Her husband > told her how proud he was to have such a good wife, and told > her how much he loved her.. He handed her a beautiful > wrapped gift box. > > Curious, the wife opened the box and found a lovely, > leather-bound Bible, with the wife's name embossed > in gold. Angrily, she raised her voice to her > husband and said, 'With all your money you give me > a Bible?' > > She stormed out of the house, permanently leaving > her husband. Many years passed and the lady was very > successful in business. She managed to settle for a > more beautiful house and a wonderful family, but > realized her ex-husband was very old, and thought perhaps > she should go to visit him.. She had not seen him for > many years. > > But before she could make arrangements, she received > a telegram telling her that her ex-husband had passed > away, and willed all of his possessions to her. > She needed to come back immediately and take > care of things. > > > When she arrived at her ex-husband's house, > sudden sadness and regret filled her heart. She began > to search through her ex-husband's important papers and > saw the still new Bible, just as she had left it years > before. > > > With tears, she opened the Bible and began to turn > the pages. Her ex-husband had carefully > underlined a verse, Matt 7:11, 'And if you, being evil, > know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more > shall your Heavenly Father, who is in heaven, give what is > good to those who ask Him?' > > As she read those words, a tiny package dropped from > the back of the Bible. It had a diamond ring, with her > name engraved on it -- the same diamond ring which she saw > at the showroom.
