Many men owe the grandeur of their lives to their tremendous difficulties.
- C. H. Spurgeon
If we will look back upon the past, many of us will find that the very time our Heavenly Father has chosen to do the kindest things for us, and given us the richest blessings, has been the time we were strained and shut in on every side. God's jewels are often sent us in rough packages and by dark liveried servants, but within we find the very treasures of the King's palace and the Bridegroom's love.
- A. B. Simpson
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 shall be a miracle.
- Phillip Brooks

Mary, thank you for these great quotes. They are a needed reminder.
I'm not sure when you changed your blog-look. I liked it before, but I like this too. It's fun to change things up - very nice!
Wow! Thanks, Mary!
