Today is mine. Tomorrow is none of my business. If I peer anxiously into the fog of the future I will strain my spiritual eyes so that I will not see clearly what is required of me now!

When obedience to God contradicts what I think will give me pleasure, let me ask myself if I love Him.

The world cries for men who are strong; strong in conviction, strong to lead, to stand, to suffer.

Blessings taken for granted are often forgotten.

The husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the Head of the Church. And the wife is there to bless and support and help him.

One morning I was reading the story of Jesus' feeding of the five thousand. The disciples could find only five loaves of bread and two fishes. 'Let me have them,' said Jesus. He asked for all. He took them, said the blessing, and broke them before He gave them out. I remembered what a chapel speaker...had said: 'If my life is broken when given to Jesus, it is because pieces will feed a multitude, while a loaf will satisfy only a little lad.'
