Over Every Hurdle Quotes

“You are blessed with the rare heart of a servant and you enrich the life of every person you come into contact with. I will spend the rest of my days celebrating your spirit and accomplishments.

“I promise to be faithful and supportive through all the seasons of our life—whether they are easy or hard—in plenty and in want, in sickness and in health, in failure and triumph. I will never let you forget how talented, loving, capable, and beautiful you are. I will talk when you need words and be quiet when you need silence. I will always be a safe place for your dreams and your fears. We will face everything together. I give you my hand and my heart as a sanctuary of warmth and peace as we join our lives today.”

“Stephanie. When I met you, I knew one thing for sure. My prayers had been answered. I’d been asking for my special person—my soul mate—for years. At times, I’d become discouraged—almost given up—and then I met you and all doubt evaporated. Thank you for embracing the parts of me that make me who I am. Thank you for celebrating all that I am and looking with grace at all that I am not.” Both mothers wept.”

“written decades ago by Charlotte Bronte in Jane Eyre. I think it holds true today: “I have for the first time found what I can truly love—I have found you. You are my sympathy—my better self—my good angel—I am bound to you with a strong attachment. I think you good, gifted, lovely; a fervent, a solemn passion is conceived in my heart; it leans to you, draws you to my centre and spring of life, wraps my existence about you—and, kindling in pure, powerful flame, fuses you and me in one.”

And—most importantly—listen to what she says. Don’t be thinking of what you’re going to say to her. Especially don’t be thinking about how you’re going to try to talk her out of how she’s feeling.” “This relationship stuff is tricky.”

“And even if they now get along, that doesn’t mean Diedre or Zoe are ready for us to date.” Grant ran his hands down her arms. “It’s not up to them. We’re the adults here—we’re in charge of our lives. We have to be cautious and make good choices about who we go out with, but we don’t need—and shouldn’t ask—for their approval.” “You think so?” “I do. Kids don’t want to be in charge, no matter how much they try to be. They want us, as parents, to set the tone. If I’m happy in my life, that sets a good example for Diedre, too.” “I agree with that.”

“Both girls are good, decent people.” “That’s true.” “So whatever is going on between them has to be based on an adolescent misunderstanding.” “I agree with that.” “Then let’s allow them to have the necessary life experience of finding out that their preconceived idea about another person is wrong.”
