Sunday Citar


I have decided to follow the idea of sharing a saying, quote or thought on Sundays as it is our day to set aside more time than we normally do to worship God and to be together as a family.

Thank you for this idea.

My quote this week comes from an old book that the previous owner left behind - the title of which is Praying While You Work and it is by Hubert van Zeller.

"This is the first lesson for the Christian wife and mother today: to let go of what may once have been- and under other circumstances might now be - a recollected self, and take on, with both hands, the plan of God. Indeed it is the lesson for every Christian in every age: it is the Gospel principle of dying on one plane in order to live on another."

Warm wishes and blessings,
Tonya

  3. It was in God's divine plan for the previous owner to have left that book, you to quote it and for me to read it today! It was just the message I needed!
