We bought Lydia, my daughter her first Bible recently, it made me consider how many Bibles we own. I mentioned this to my family. So we went on a hunt. We gathered them from around the house, we even pulled a box out of storage. We had Bibles of all shapes and sizes, different translations, one with pictures, one on CD for use on the computer and many were sitting in a box unused. Scripture Wealth.
It wasn't until our family got involved with Wycliffe that I began to realize how much I take having the Bible for granted. While we have extra Bibles sitting in a box collecting dust, there are people around the world who can't wait to get their hands on even a portion of scripture in their language. For Aksamina, a language helper for the Berik people of Indonesia, it was her dying wish for her husband, Essau, to help finish the translation for their language. Essau saw their New Testament dedicated in 1993.

I too couldn't believe just HOW MANY Bibles we had in our home. And I also pulled a box out of storage! Crazy.
This is a great post. It's nice to "meet" you.
Oh, that story about Aksamina made me all teary. What an emotional moment that dedication must have been! And yes, it really is crazy how many Bibles we can accumulate, isn't it? And I'm always amazed when I walk into the Christian bookstore and see all the different Bible choices they have.
