You can survive on your own; you can grow strong on your own; you can prevail on your own; but you cannot become human on your own.
Frederick BuechnerYou do not need to understand healing to be healed or know anything about blessing to be blessed.
Frederick BuechnerPay attention to the things that bring a tear to your eye or a lump in your throat because they are signs that the holy is drawing near.
Frederick BuechnerThe worst isn't the last thing about the world. It's the next to the last thing. The last thing is the best. It's the power from on high that comes down into the world, that wells up from the rock-bottom worst of the world like a hidden spring. Can you believe it? The last, best thing is the laughing deep in the hearts of the saints, sometimes our hearts even. Yes. You are terribly loved and forgiven. Yes. You are healed. All is well.
