I had bought Cody a new bible and cover in December of 2006 and knew it was with him the night of the accident. Wanting that back for many reasons, I continued to call the police station. Not only was I in a desperate search for some answers but I wanted to share any of his favorite verses ( if marked) at his Celebration of Life.
Finally the call came, they had found Cody's bible and I could come get it. I could not believe my eye's when the officer handed me my sons bible covered in Cody's blood and glass chars stinking out of it. (Really they could not whip it down)
When I returned home I began cleaning the leather cover. Tears kept running down my face and anger began to rise. Just then my nine year old son came up to me and said, " Mom what does it say" On the cover reads the scripture Jeremiah 29:11 as I read the words, I know the plans that I have for you declares the Lord. They are plans for peace and not disaster. Plans to give you a future filled with hope. My brain was racing as my thought was "well where were You for Cody" My son looked at me with an inspired smile and said, "WOW that is what the Lord did for Cody mom his future is secure."
OUCH! I thought rebuked by a nine year old.
Out of the mouth of babes.

Isn't it wonderful how God can use such a small thing to touch our hearts. So often it's the children who see it first.
