"If you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain."
Dolly Parton's unforgettable words are taking on new meaning following the country music icon's death at 80.
Through the years, Parton became known not only for her music, but for her wit and outlook on life: "If you don't like the road you're walking, start paving another one," and, "Find out who you are and do it on purpose."
The legendary singer leaves behind decades of music, laughter and words that inspired generations of fans.
Dolly never shied away from her faith. 🤍
We were honored to sit down with @DollyParton and @zachwilliams in 2020 to talk about their song, “There Was Jesus.”
As we remember Dolly today, these words feel especially meaningful:
“That’s my faith. That’s what I believe.”
Thank you, Dolly, for being unashamed of the Gospel and for sharing your faith with so many. 🙏 #dollyparton #dolly
JUST IN: A solemn scene at the White House as flags are brought to half-staff in honor of Dolly Parton.
President Trump ordered the tribute nationwide for one week following the country music icon’s death at 80.
"There will never be anyone like her, and never will."
@DollyParton Dolly, you touched tens of millions of souls with your kindness, humbleness, charm, humor, generosity and that beautiful, unique voice of yours.
You have become a national treasure and will never be forgotten.
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.” (Proverbs 3:5-6) #Alaska
“God is our refuge and strength,
A very present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear,
Even though the earth be removed,
And though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
Though its waters roar and be troubled,
Though the mountains shake with its swelling. Selah” (Psalm 46:1-3)
“But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of GOD,
even to them that believe
on His Name:
which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh,
nor of the will of man,
but of GOD.”
John 1:12-13 KJV
