Words of Wisdom

For Blog number four - I thought I would present my top five quotes of all time and ask what are yours?

1) Women of God
From this I learn that it is more important for me to be a woman of God, than a woman of the world.
"Women of God can never be like women of the world. The world has enough women who are tough; we need women who are tender. There are enough women who are coarse; we need women who are kind. There are enough women who are rude; we need women who are refined. We have enough women of fame and fortune; we need more women of faith. We have enough greed; we need more goodness. We have enough vanity; we need more virtue. We have enough popularity; we need more purity." Margaret D. Nadauld
.

2) We are known
I know that I am loved and someone of significance, maybe not in this life - but in mine.
"Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the froung wihout your Father. But the very hairs of your hear are all numberd. Fear ye not therefore, we are of more value than many sparrows" Mathew 10:29-31


3) My name is me
My name is my honour and I carry it, as I encourage my children to do, with pride and love.
"What's in a name? That which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet" Romeo and Juliet (II, ii, 1-2)


4) Be Still
I must always remember to be quite, and take it ALL in - and remember the bigger picture!
"Be Still and know that I am God" Psalm 46:10


5) Born to love
I need to keep being a mother who teaches my sons to love one another so they can teach theirs to do the same.
"No one is born hating another person because of the colour of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than it's opposite." Nelson Mandela


As I am writing this, I have thought of hundreds more but this is about five not hundreds ;-) What I do, in humility is thank the authors for their words of wisdom!

Yours in friendship,

Mxox
