Book in the Attic

Cold day so I decided to go through a few old boxes in the attic.. boxes that were in LaMarr's grandmothers attic, we just moved to our attic and forgot them over the years. So I found a quilt to sit on and started to browse. Dusty old things is a passion of mine. Old letters I love sit and read. the fancy script amazes me. Wish I could use a quill and ink~ now back to the books, I opened and browsed read a bit, then I picked up a Rudyard Kipling old leather bound book 1892, I carefully opened the delicate pages. Something fell in my lap, a pressed four leaf cover. so I started to replace it back in the page and saw their was another one pressed there. Now I smile and ask myself wonder how many years that has been pressed between those page and by whom? Then I read the page "The Legend Of Evil" as I read i felt a chill creep up my back... I ran so fast out of that attic and locked the door. Now I am all about loving history, but something about this book is just not setting too good with me When LaMarr, came in I read him the passage. "He said where in this world did you get that"? I said, "From your dead great grandpaws books. All I can say is ."I will open those boxes in the family room with all the lights on. Think I am fooling you. Read a passage in the book...

Victorian Tear Bottle

LaMarr, gave me a "Tear Bottle"----
such a unique gift~~ I actually added my 1st. tears to it when he gave it to me~
"Tear Bottles Past" The history of the tear bottle is captivating and poignant. Legends of tear bottles or lachrymatories abound
in stories of Egypt and middle eastern societies. Tear bottles were prevalent in ancient Roman times,
when mourners filled small glass vials with tears and placed them in burial tombs as symbols of love and respect.
In the Old Testament of the Bible, the notion of collecting tears in a bottle appears in
Psalm 56:8 when David prays to God, “Thou tellest my wanderings, put thou my tears in Thy bottle; are they not in Thy Book?”
David’s words remind us that God keeps a record of human pain and suffering and always remembers our sorrows
