Gramma's old Bible

After the passing of my beloved Grandparents; Elmer and Hazel Afseth, I often found myself pondering what words of wisdom they might impart to me pertaining to some circumstance and situation I was in. Well, they are gone now, so I have to use my imagination or memory.
On one particular day, browsing an old well worn Bible of Gramma Hazels, I read the front cover and back, an area all filled in with Grammas scribbles and jots of wisdom that she must have hurriedly wrote as she sat in church listening to a sermon.


I really enjoyed reading what she gleaned from the sermon, and considered worthy to be written down in her bible for her to ponder later, and remember.
So, here are some of the scribbles (deciphered) for your enjoyment as well.
And I write here, quotes from Gramma Hazels bible that she wrote by hand over the years. ..........



"...My Saviour's love triumphs over condemnation"


"...The Blood of Jesus keeps on cleaning us up from sin..."

"...Warn the LOST or we will be responsible for their Blood..."

"...The measure of our Love for the Lord, measures our love to the brethren..."

"...We find REVEALED knowledge through the Word..."

"...To him that OVER COMETH2, will I give..."

"...If the Lord is not Lord of all, He is not Lord of anything- This pertains to our lives-
We must let him be Lord of all..."


"...We are saved to please God, not to escape Hell only- We are a witness and a testimony
John 4:20"


"... 318 times the Word declares the coming of Jesus..."


"...Matthew 6 THE LORDS PRAYER..."

Our Father in Heaven
Hallowed be your name.
Your kingdom come.
Your will be done
On earth, as it is in heaven.

Give us this day,our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts,
As we forgive our debtors.
And do not lead us into temptation,
But deliver us from the evil one.
For Yours is the Kingdom and the
Power and the Glory FOREVER. Amen.


"...Romans 5:8 and John 10:1..."

"... Long Suffering with Joyfulness..."

"...70 AD The temple in Jerusalem was destroyed..."

"...Wisdom is when to speak your mind and when to mind your speech..."

"...Daniel and Isaiah had visions of the Anti-Christ..."

"...Exodus 20 The Ten Commandments"

"...2500 years from Adam to Moses..."

"...Luke 13:24 The unsaved's peril..."

"...Romans 10:10 Confirm with the mouth..."

"...Pray the hardest, when it is the hardest to pray..."

"...Psalms 42:1-11..."

"...Acts 1 Jesus (40 days after death)..."

"...Sermon on the Mount Matthew 6..."

"...You are what you believe- You will become what you say..."

"...You can find him in the Bible, you can find him in many churches,
But until you see him in the mirror-you have a long way to go..."

"...We don't have a ministry, We ARE a ministry..."

"...Philippians 4:13..."


"...I can do ALL things through Christ which strengthens me..."

"...If you are self centered, you will self destruct..."

"...As faith moves the hand of God, so does fear move satan ..."

"...Healing Matthew 19:18..."

And the most important scripture that says it all:

" For God so loved the World, that he gave his ONLY begotten son,
that whosoever will believe ON HIM, SHALL BE SAVED..." John 3:16
