Though we may not be able to see His purpose or His plan, the Lord of heaven is on His throne and in firm control of the universe and our lives. - Max Lucado
Little House on the Ridge
a place for quotes about life, faith and learning
Faith
Faith sees the invisible, believes the unbelievable, and receives the impossible. - Corrie ten Boom
Play
Children learn through doing --- play is how they explore the world, learn to assess risk, try things out, and get to know themselves. - Bethe Almeras
School Decisions
All people in decision-making positions for school policies should be required to sit through at least one school day and experience first-hand what is required of children today. - Angela Hanscom
Conversation
God spoke today in flowers, and I, who was waiting on words, almost missed the conversation. - Ingrid Goff-Maidoff
Rekindled
At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us. - Albert Schweitzer
Work
The work we do is only our love for Jesus in action. If we pray the work...if we do it to Jesus, if we do it for Jesus, if we do it with Jesus...that's what makes us content. - Mother Teresa
Christian
Your life as a Christian
should make non believers
--- question their disbelief in God.
- Dietrich Bonhoeffer
A New Day
I have always been delighted at the prospect of a new day, a fresh try, one more start, with perhaps a bit of magic waiting somewhere behind the morning. - J. B. Priestley
In the Morning
When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive, to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love. - Marcus Aurelius
Spring
It is always safe to dream of spring. For it is sure to come; and if it be not just as we have pictured it, it will be infinitely sweeter. - L. M. Montgomery
Holy Mystery
The world is full of holy mystery that we too often dismiss as common and ordinary. How lightly we tread on miracles. - Elliott Blackwell
Responsibility
We live in a world in which we need to share responsibility. It's easy to say, 'It's not my child, not my community, not my world, not my problem.' Then there are those who see the need and respond. I consider those people my heroes. - Fred Rogers
Repeated Refrains
There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature --- the assurance that dawn comes after night and spring after the winter. - Rachel Carson
Overflowing with Gratitude
The heart that is constantly overflowing with gratitude will be safe from those attacks of resentfulness and gloom that bother so many persons. - A. W. Tozer
Waiting
Waiting is just a gift of time in disguise --- a time to pray wrapped up in a ribbon of patience --- because is the Lord ever late? - Ann Voskamp
Free Play
Let's make time for unorganized, unstructured, free play. Let's plan not to plan. Let's allow our children the freedom to explore the unscripted beauty of childhood, where creativity, imagination, and curiosity live. - Shirra Baston
History
Human history is the long terrible story of man trying to find something other than God which will make him happy. - C. S. Lewis, Mere Christianity
One Kind Word
Imagine what our real neighborhoods would be like if each of us offered, as a matter of course, just one kind word to another person. - Fred Rogers
Reminders
Although the objects themselves are no replacement for the people we ache for, they are reminders of the fact that those people were here, and they mattered and will be missed. - Mike Gayle, The Museum of Ordinary People
Our King
Our King is seated.
He's not frantically pacing.
He's not anxious or nervous.
He's not unsettled or scared.
He is seated, steady, secure.
- Author Unknown
Faithful
God is who says he is. He does what he says he's going to do. You can trust him with your broken circumstances, future dreams, and everyday uncertainties. He is faithful. - Maggie Combs
