“For if you keep silent at this time,
 relief and deliverance will rise for the Jews from another place,
 but you and your father’s house will perish. 
And who knows whether you have not 
come to the kingdom for such a time as this?”



“What if I am a woman? is not the God of ancient times the God of these modern times? Did he not raise up Deborah, , to be a mother, and a judge in Israel? Did not queen Esther save th elives of the Jews?” ~ Maria W. Steward, 1835 ~

“I am one, but still I am one. 
I cannot do everything
but still I can do something.”
~ Helen Keller ~

“As I live in awareness of,growth in,m and gratitude for God’s grace and mercy, my life will bring glory to Him.” ~ Sandy Smith ~
“Pain is God’s beautiful gift to make us lean harder on Him, when He knows we need it.”  ~ Anne Ortlund ~

“Dress shabbily and they remember the dress;
dress impeccably and they remember the woman.”
~ Coco Chanel ~

“I, with a deeper instinct, choose a man who compels my strength, who makes enormous demands on me, who does not doubt my courage or my toughness, who does not believe me naive or innocent, who has the courage to treat me like a woman.” ~ Anais Nin ~
“I hate to hear you talk about all women as if they were fine ladies instead of rational creatures. None of us want to be in calm waters all our lives.” 
~ Jane Austin ~

“As a woman I have no country.
As a woman I want no country.
As a woman, my country is the whole world.”
~ Virginia Woolf ~

“To learn humility is to learn contentment in all circumstances. Humility is not in what we own or achieve, but in maintaining a teachable attitude, a willingness to bend to the will of the Father.”  ~ Jan Silvious ~
“Compiling our traditions and oral or written histories will give our children an identity with their Christian heritage.” ~ Charlene Kaemmerling ~ 
“Joy is a net of love by which you can catch souls.” ~ Mother Teresa ~
“Guard your tongue when your husband is angry.” ~ St. Monica ~ 

“Likewise, teach the older 
women to be reverent in the way they live,
 not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, 
but to teach what is good.”
~ Titus 2:3 ~

    I think my favorite 'quote' is ""Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good." ~ Titus 2:3 ~ This Scripture needs to be imprinted on road signs and billboards. Seems like most women are pigs now and that's why our society is falling apart.

    Good morning dear Sandra ~ My favorite from this post is:

    "To learn humility is to learn contentment in all circumstances. Humility is not in what we own or achieve, but in maintaining a teachable attitude, a willingness to bend to the will of the Father." ~ Jan Silvious ~

    Have a very nice day and a great week ~ FlowerLady
