Words of Wisdom from Corrie Ten Boom

Quote by Elisabeth Elliot

-Helen Keller

Peter Marshall Quote.....

I have copied this quote into my journal time and time again.   I hope it encourages you as well.

“Godly womanhood.....the very phrase sounds strange in our ears.  We never hear it now.  We hear about every other type of women: beautiful women, smart women, sophisticated women, career women, talented women, divorced women.  But so seldom  do we hear of a godly woman - or of a godly man either, for that matter.  We believe women come nearer to fulfilling their God-given function in the home than anywhere else.  It is a much nobler thing to be a good wife, than to be Miss America.  It is a greater achievement to establish a Christian home than it is to produce a second-rate novel filled with filth.  It is a far, far better thing in the realms of morals to be old-fashioned, than to be ultra-modern.  The world has enough women who know how to be smart.  It needs women who are willing to be simple.  The world has enough women who know how to be brilliant.  It needs some who will be brave.  The world has enough women who are popular.  It needs more who are pure.  We need women, and men, too, who would rather be morally right than socially correct.”

Inspirational Quote for Today.....

"My father always told us that if we will let God, He can use even our disappointments, even our annoyances to bring us a blessing.  There's a practical way to start the process too: by thanking Him for whatever happens, no matter how disagreeable it seems."

-Alice Henderson from the novel Christy

Quote by Clara Barton

"People should not say that this or that is not worth learning, giving as their reason that it will not be put to use.  They can no more know what information they will need in the future than they will know the weather two hundred years from today."
-Clara Barton, Founder of American Red Cross

Quote by Andrew Murray

"Do not strive in your own strength; cast yourself at the feet of the Lord Jesus, and wait upon Him in the sure confidence that He is with you, and works in you.  Strive in prayer; let faith fill your heart - so you will be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might."

-Andrew Murray
