[Faith-talk] Quotes for Saturday, July 2, 2016

[Paul Smith]

Hello and greetings to you all, whether you're at home, attending one 
of the two major conventions of the blind here in the U.S.A. or perhaps 
traveling to visit family, friends or even on vacation.  Statistics say 
that about 42 million people will be traveling over our Independence 
Day weekend in this country, largely because of low gasoline prices, 
unless of course you're traveling via public transportation.  Anyway if 
you are among those engaged in this activity I pray that the Lord will 
see you through, whether traveling to your destinations, enjoying 
yourselves there and returning safely to your residences, by God's 
matchless grace and His providential care.

Here are today's two quotes for your consideration, pondering and reflection.

Although my wife speaks words that are loud and clear, they somehow 
reach my ears that are muted and hazy.

Life will break you.  Nobody can protect you from that, and living 
alone won't either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. 
Louise Erdrich

And that will do for today.  Until tomorrow when, Lord willing more of 
the same will be posted, I am your obedient servant of the One who 
lived an earthly existence, died to pay for your sins and mine, and now 
lives forever to bring us His salvation and peace, Oil of Gladness.
