Waiting for Christmas Quotes

“Like the figures in the manger scene Mother had given her, Jesus didn't need to be kept at a distance, but enjoyed and loved.”
― Lynn Austin, Waiting for Christmas: A Story of Hope and the Best Gift of All

“Just like there are dishes you can cook up in a jiffy and ones that take more time and care. I've prayed some pretty big prayers over the years that seemed to go unanswered. And if I wasn't careful, I could start to believe that God didn't love me because he didn't give me what I'd asked for. I had to learn that my faith shouldn't depend on whether or not God answers my prayers exactly the way I want Him to.”
