Thus, when you wake up in the morning, called by God to be a self again, if you want to know who you are, watch your feet. Because where your feet take you, that is who you are.
Frederick BuechnerWords spoken in deep love or deep hate set things in motion in the human heart that can never be reversed.
Frederick BuechnerPay mind to your own life, your own health, and wholeness. A bleeding heart is of no help to anyone if it bleeds to death.
Frederick BuechnerLord, I believe; help my unbelief' is the best any of us can do really, but thank God it is enough.
Frederick BuechnerMuch as we wish, not one of us can bring back yesterday or shape tomorrow. Only today is ours, and it will not be ours for long, and once it is gone it will never in all time be ours again. Thou only knowest what it holds in store for us, yet even we know something of what it will hold. The chance to speak the truth, to show mercy, to ease anotherโs burden. The chance to resist evil, to remember all the good times and good people of our past, to be brave, to be strong, to be glad.
