Might I not be able to love God in the ways that Katie (Don Holt’s cat) was loving me? A desire to be close, to be in touch, to receive strokes and and caresses from the External, to feel warm and safe and comfortable with God? Was this not exactly what I longed for — the experience of stretching out, so to speak, on the breast of God, purring in contentment, safely supported by the everlasting arms?”
~ Don Holt as quoted by Allen Anderson ~
“A woman’s heart should be so hidden in God that a man has to seek Him just to find her.” ~ Max Lucado ~
“We are to make a plan for the day, pray over that plan, and then proceed with that plan. When we are willing to regard the unexpected as God’s intervention, we can flex with the new plan, recognizing it as God’s plan.”
~ Elizabeth George ~
“Prayer reminds me it’s not just about me. It’s about all the people with whom I share this planet, and all of whom God has created, and all of whom he cares just as much about as he cares about me.” ~ Mike Huckabee ~
“Remember, you are special because I made you. And I don’t make mistakes.” ~ Max Lucado ~

This was a wonderful uplifting post to have for a Monday morning. Thank you dear Sandra for doing this.
I loved the song, and I think my favorite quote was the one by Don Holt.
