Before I Called You Mine

An invisible red thread connects those destined to meet, regardless of time, place, or circumstance. The thread may stretch or tangle, but it will never break. —Ancient Chinese Proverb

“The way to shape a child’s heart is through love. And the way to shape a child’s mind is through literature. When you read to a child, you accomplish both.”

“Truth is, some people just need a little extra grace when life’s challenges fail to meet their expectations.”

“I don’t think it’s possible for us to measure the impact one person can have on another, but I do believe that offering hope to someone without it is invaluable.”

But making a difference starts with being willing to help where and how we can right now.”

God’s way is rarely easy, but it’s always better than mine.”

“God doesn’t trick His children. He loves us, and everything He asks of us, or allows us to walk through, has a purpose.”

“Ask Him those questions. He’s big enough to handle your anger, your confusion. Your hurt.”
