Words

Words . . . I just can't get enough of them. It's time for some more quotes to cause our mind to consider words. No snaps this post, except one at the end, just food for the mind and soul.

"It is the simple things of life that make living worthwhile, the sweet fundamental things such as love and duty, work and rest and living close to nature." Laura Ingalls Wilder

"For God's people, the Bible is the most important book in life. Though written by forty different writers from Moses to John over a period of 1600 years, there is a perfect harmony throughout all 66 books. This is proof that the book is truly 'God-breathed' and that the real author was the Holy Spirit." Kenneth W. Osbeck

"God always seems to choose broken pots so the water can get all over the place." Mark Lowry

"I have no desire to move mountains, construct monuments, or leave behind in my wake material evidence of my existence. But in the final recollection, if the essense of my being has caused a smile to have appeared upon your face or a touch of joy within your heart . . . then in living - I have made my mark." Thomas l. Ode, Jr.

"What lies behind us and what lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us." Ralph Waldo Emerson

And I leave you with this song . . . "When God Sings" by John Colgin and Christy Sutherland

"The rustling of the wings of the angels The hush of the saints bowing down
Losing themselves in sweet submission There's nothing on this earth like the sound

"When God sings . . . the heavens fill with wonder
When God sings  . . it's a breath of holy thunder
When God sings . . . every note and every measure
Dances with His delight . . . in me . . . When God sings

"The whisper of the spirit as I'm praying The kiss of a soft summer wind
The force that makes the waves on the ocean Could He be singing over me again

"When God sings . . . the heavens fill with wonder
When God sings  . . it's a breath of holy thunder
When God sings . . . every note and every measure
Dances with His delight . . . in me . . . When God sings"

I think it's time to get another book of quotes! Not sure if this should be on my list!
