"The alphabet of gratitude."

Crossing to Safety, Wallace Stegner"

"Mom was so exhausted. I sat down beside her on the stairs. Her eyes were closed. I asked her if it was possible to live without a heart, like that somehow you could leave it somewhere & still - technically, no, she said. Not that I know of. Then she said wait, what? What did you say?"

Fight Night, Miriam Toews

"They built their castle stronghold in the place they had found in the woods.

There, in the shadowy light of the stronghold, everything seemed possible."

Bridge to Terabithia, Katherine Paterson

"The closer he came to the dry creek bed & the crab apple tree rope, the more he could feel the beating of his heart. He grabbed the end of the rope & swung out to the other and, landing gently on his feet, taller, & stronger, & wiser - in that mysterious land."

I couldn't help taking this pic at my moms & tots group.

A really lovely group of women in prayer.

"Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,

the people he chose for his inheritance.

From heaven the Lord looks down & sees all mankind;

from his dwelling place he watches all who live on earth - 

he who forms the hearts of all,

who considers everything they do."

Psalm 33:12-15
