Mr. Wonderful and I often read a little before we turn out the lights, and the other night I noticed his bookmark on the bed between us. It was a nice wooden bookmark that my parents got for him when they visited Palmyra a couple years ago. Engraved in the bookmark was the phrase "My golden plates are made of paper." So I joked, "Does that make them paper plates?" I got a friendly eye roll and chuckle about it, then we turned out the lights and went to sleep.
I've thought a little more about it, though. I think I treat my Book of Mormon more like paper plates than I do like golden plates. I snack a little, then promptly put them aside when I should be feasting on them and treasuring them.
Yes, I have a penchant for wringing a spiritual metaphor out of every situation in my life. It works for me! :)
