LIVE A LIFE OF NO REGRETS!!: Today's Quote

Quote from "Stepping Heavenward" by Mrs. E. Prentiss

"She says I shall now have one mouth more to fill and two feet the more to shoe, more disturbed nights, more laborious days, and less leisure or visiting, reading, music and drawing.

Well! This is one side of the story, to be sure, but I look at the other.

Here is a sweet, fragrant mouth to kiss; here are two more feet to make music with their pattering about my nursery. Here is a soul to train for God; and the body in which dwells is worthy of all it will cost, since it is the abode of a kingly tenant. I may see less of friends, but I have gained one dearer than them all, to whom, while I minister in Christ's name, I make a willing sacrifice of what little leisure for my own recreation my other dear darlings had left me. Yes, my precious baby, you are welcome to her time, her strength, her health, her tenderest cares, to her lifelong prayers! Oh, how rich I am, how truly, wondrously blest!"

Today's Quote

Do not pray for easy lives; pray to be stronger men. Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers; pray for powers equal to your tasks. Then the doing of your work shall be no miracle, but you yourself shall be a miracle. Every day you shall wonder at yourself, at the richness of life which has come to you by the grace of God.
Phillips Brooks (1835-1893)

Listened to A.W. Tozer on Peter and Corrie Ten Boom while folding clothes tonight on sermonindex.net. Great resource!

Thanking the Lord for another beautiful day. Thanking Him for being able to teach my children, be at home with them, giving me a job that I can work with them, a job that blesses not only me but missionaries, giving me a church that I can call home and Christian friends I can call family. Bless the Lord Oh my soul and let EVERYTHING that is within me bless His Holy Name!!
