“I mean talk. Never forget that God is your friend. And like all friends, He longs to hear what’s been happening in your life. Good or bad, whether it’s been full of sorrow or anger, and even when you’re questioning why terrible things have to happen.
So I talk with him.” ~ Nicolas Sparks ~

"Why can't I clot?" Perfect! My daddy used to say, "Just think! Just think!"
Nice what Nicholas Sparks said. I don't reckon I've ever felt that God was saying to me, "Would you please just shut up!" I'm so grateful for that.
Dear Thistle, first I have to say, that this dog SAM has a very true and dear face, looking full of empathy and love to the photograper!
Then I want to say also this: you always have such wonderful inspirations to choose the quotes and poverbs for "Sabbath-Keeping"!
Great as always!
I love that bright, happy dog face!
