Sabbath Keeping

“It is of the LORD’S mercies that we are not consumed, 
because his
compassions fail not. 
They are new every morning: 
great is thy
faithfulness.”
~ Lamentations 3:22-23 ~

“Faithfulness lives where love is stronger than instinct.”
~ Paul Carvel, Belgian writer ~
“Money may be the husk of many things, but not the kernel. It brings you food, but not appetite; medicine, but not health; acquaintances, but not friends; servants, but not faithfulness; days of joy but not peace and happiness.” ~ Henrik Ibsen ~
“By faithfulness we are collected and wound up into unity within ourselves,
whereas we had been scattered abroad in multiplicity.” 

“Destiny fits, always,
There’s no such thing
as a life not meant
for the person living it.”
~  Louis Simpson in Chimneys ~

“Great is thy faithfulness, O God my Father…”
~ Israel Houghton and New Breed ~ Fernando Ortega ~

“Confidentiality is a virtue of the loyal, as loyalty is the virtue of faithfulness.” and “Your faithfulness makes you trustworthy to God.” ~ Edwin Louis Cole ~ 

“Marriage has a unique place because it speaks of an
absolute faithfulness, a covenant between radically different persons,
male and female; and so it echoes the absolute covenant of God with his
chosen, a covenant between radically different partners.” ~ Rowan D. Williams ~

“Faith is the virtue by which, clinging-to the faithfulness of God, we lean upon him, so that we may obtain what he gives to us.” ~ William Ames ~

“I do not pray for success. I ask for faithfulness.”

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, 
goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. 
Against such things there is no law.” ~ Galatians 5:22 ~

If you’d like your name added to the prayer list, please let me know.

    Being a compulsive quote-collector, I was happy to find this post with great specimens. I love the Augustine quote, the Ames and the Simpson ones especially. Thank you for posting all these nourishing truths.

    Just had to drop by and let you know I'm thinking of you. I had no idea that your husband was suffering with cancer. My prayers are with you!

    Thanks for your comment on my blog today. I'm just like you! If someone comments on my blog, I try to repay the kindness with a visit and a comment on their blog.

    Hope you're enjoying a good day.

    Wonderful quotes, Sandra. Thanks for sharing and stopping by CITexas Gal to see the Butterflies. Sometimes a quote or poem says it all. I appreciate that!

    This one perfect for my Ancestry collection:
    Destiny fits, always,
    There's no such thing
    as a life not meant
    for the person living it.

    Thanks…Sue

    I enjoyed each one, Sandra. These are the kinds of passages that have always gathered me in.

    I will not be commenting much after Tues for a few days. Pre-posted a few shares.

    Have a beautiful week, sweet friend ~
