Psalm 33:4-6 NLT
For the word of the Lord holds true, and we can trust everything he does.
He loves whatever is just and good; the unfailing love of the Lord fills the earth.
The Lord merely spoke, and the heavens were created.
He breathed the word, and all the stars were born.
__________
“There is so much in the world for us all if we only have the eyes to see it,
and the heart to love it, and the hand to gather it to ourselves--
so much in men and women, so much in art and literature,
so much everywhere in which to delight,
and for which to be thankful.”
~ Lucy Maud Montgomery
__________
“Some people go through life trying to find out
what the world holds for them only to find out too late
that it's what they bring to the world that really counts.”
~ Lucy Maud Montgomery
Here are some questions to consider:
What are some of your favorite quotes, books, authors?
You may want to check out a quotes site such as AZ Quotes or Goodreads and search for your author or book.
What is a quote that describes how you feel right now?
