I always get to where I’m going by walking away from where I’ve been. (Heard on Winnie the Pooh Preview)

It’s going in my quote book.

Not my words but they become my words of worship in the moment I whisper them to my Father:

In my weakness you are the strength that comes from within
Good shepherd of my soul
Take my hand & lead me on

And love is love, in beggars as in Kings.

Where rivers smoothest run, deep are the fords;
The dial stirs, yet none perceives it move;

The firmest faith is in the fewest words

-Sir Edward Dyer

only for a single night
does not seem to us on that account less lovely.

If your cup seems too bitter, if your burden seems too heavy, be sure that it is the wounded hand that is holding the cup, and that it is He who carried the cross that is carrying the burden.

Love is never lost. If not reciprocated, it will flow back and soften and purify the heart.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

[Bridget Rikustad @rikustadhill]

Suffer long when you are your own prodigal
For where your home is there your heart is full
So suffer long
And be gentle with the splinters in your mind
In your violence you are blind
So be gentle

“Beggar” Benjamin James

And as I cross this ocean
I will learn to love
You will be my fortress
I will be your son

My fortress
