Home to Holly Springs


just finished this book.
every now and then i read a fun, light fiction book. it was great.
and had some great quotes!
"Be careful, dear child, but not afraid." isn't that GREAT??
and this one is going to be painted somewhere in my house for sure:
"Be careful not to forget the things you have seen God do for you. Keep reminding yourself and tell your children and grandchildren, too." such an important thing - for us to REMEMBER what God has done!
"a young French mathematician wrote...'Let us weigh the gain and the loss, wagering that God is. Consider these alternatives-if you win, you win all. If you lose, you lose nothing. Do not hesitate, then, to wager that he is.'"
quote by Elizabeth Goudge - "She had long accepted the fact that happiness is like swallows in spring. It may come and nest under your eaves or it may not. You cannot command it. When you expect to be happy, you are not and when you don't expect to be happy, there is suddenly Easter in your soul, though it be midwinter."
praying for "Easter in your souls" dear friends! isn't that a great phrase??

I've read the Mitford series that she wrote. She is a good author - unique style....Still partial to Karen Kingsbury & Dee Henderson though!
