A Quiet Heart

The Quiet Heart
By: Patricia T. Holland
The title and author of this book caught my interest while at the book store a while back.  I've really enjoyed reading it and found strength from it.  Here are a few quotes that I love:

"I am blessing him.  Be patient with my plan" (pg. 5)

"The kind of contemplation, reflection, and yearning for I am speaking of can't be accomplished very handily in competition with cellular phones, computers, or a blaring TV.  God can enter our realm only at our invitation. He stands at the door and knocks always, but someone has to hear that knock and let him enter." (pg 9)

"Please trust lovingly in the goodness of God.  He will honor the covenants you have made with him!  Glorious and glimmering promises await you if you will but trust in him.  You are God's child!  He loves you - and he will never stop loving you." (pg. 118)

Hey Beth!
I found your blog, and I was so excited! It looks like you are still doing what you do best, touching lives in simple ways. I hope your Christmas season is absolutely wonderful, and hopefully we can see you for the holidays. We are coming home to good old Arizona! p.s. I love the Hollands, every book of theirs is really good.
