"Tell the Israelites to move on." ~ Exodus 14:15 ~

"Be trustful, be steadfast, whatever betide thee,

Only one thing do thou ask of the Lord.

Grace to go forward wherever He guide thee,

Simply believing the truth of His word."

"Give me my scallop shell of quiet,

My staff of faith to walk upon,

My scrip of joy, immortal diet,

My bottle of salvation,

my gown of glory, hope's true gage

And thus I'll take my pilgrimage."

~ Sir Walter Raleigh ~

"No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God."

Sabbath Keeping

 ~ the view from my window, daily, my cup overflows ~

 "Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ." ~ Galatians 6:2 ~

"Is thy cruse of comfort wasting?

Rise and share it with another,

And through all the years of famine,

It shall serve thee and thy brother.

Is thy burden hard and heavy?

Do thy steps drag heavily?

Help to bear thy brother's burden

God will bear both it and thee."

~ Elizabeth Charles ~

"I believe that if we could only see beforehand what it is that our heavenly Father means us to be-the soul beauty and perfection and glory, the glorious and lovely spiritual body that this soul is to dwell in through all eternity-if we could have a glimpse of this, we should not grudge all the trouble and pains He is taking with us now, to bring us up to that ideal, which is His thought of us. We know that it is God's way to work slowly, so we must not be surprised if He takes a great many years of discipline to turn a mortal being into an Immortal, glorious angel." ~ Annie Keary ~

"Lord! who Thy thousand years dost wait

To work the thousandth part

Of Thy vast plan, for us create

With zeal a patient heart."

~ J. H. Newman ~

"His time is forever, everywhere his place."

~ Abraham Cowley ~

"The strongest of all warriors are these two--Time and Patience."

~ Leo Tolstoy ~

"With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise..." ~ I Peter 3:8-9 ~
