Grace

“When we appropriate God's great enablers-His grace and His peace-we can achieve gentleness and calmness even during hard times.”
― Kay Arthur, Walking with God in the Quiet Places: Devotions for Women

“One of the most important lessons I've come to learn is this:
We are all sailing in our own individual ship of life; and no matter how great of a sailer you may be, we all experience seasons the same.
The storms will come, and the cold will come, the warmth shall come, and the blossom of spring shall also come.
... Winter is not bad for existing, nor is summer any less great for being hot.
Each season exists to serve its purpose...
And none of us are exempted from enduring the seasons.
Understand the seasons and times of life.
Take delight in the sun and at the sight of blooming flowers, but remember, the storms and the winter shall also surely come.
Learn how to adjust your sails and know when to adjust them, prepare yourself for the cold and the stormy seasons, but remember to always enjoy the sun while it shines...”
― Tshepo H. Maloa

“If we never experience the chill of a dark winter, it is very unlikely that we will ever cherish the warmth of a bright summer’s day. Nothing stimulates our appetite for the simple joys of life more than the starvation caused by sadness or desperation. In order to complete our amazing life journey successfully, it is vital that we turn each and every dark tear into a pearl of wisdom, and find the blessing in every curse.”
― Anthon St. Maarten, Divine Living: The Essential Guide To Your True Destiny

“What you will see are things that caught my eye and made me stop in my tracks to take a closer look.”
