Old-Fashioned Things
Some old-fashioned things like fresh air and sunshine are hard to beat. - Laura Ingalls Wilder
Crisis
No matter what kind of crisis we may be in, we want to pray that God's name will be glorified, that God will be glorified. - Nancy DeMoss
Power of Prayer
I strongly suspect that if we saw all the difference even the tiniest of our prayers to God make, and all the people those little prayers were destined to affect, and all the consequences of those effects down through the centuries, we would be so paralyzed with awe at the power of prayer that we would be unable to get up off our knees for the rest of our lives. - Peter Kreeft
Never Hurries
God never hurries. There are no deadlines against which He must work. Only to know this is to quiet our spirits and relax our nerves. - A. W. Tozer
Music
How is it that music can, without words, evoke our laughter, our tears, our highest aspiration? - Jane Swan
Major Weapon
If you want to see your children live for Christ and your school and community change, be committed to persistent prayer. Prayer is one of our major weapons of warfare because the enemy is coming full force against our children and schools. We've got to use the weapon God has given us! - Lee Brown
Busy Schedules
In light of our busy schedules, making a lunch date with a friend seems like a monumental challenge. However, after moving mountains to make it happen, the payoff is sweet. Time with a friend is always well spent...and the work it takes to make it happen is erased the instant you see each other smile. - Author Unknown
Not Perfect
Little by little we human beings are confronted with situations that give us more and more clues that we aren't perfect. - Fred Rogers
Confused Prayer
God can pick sense out of a confused prayer. These desires cry louder in His ears than your sins. - Richard Sibbs
The Impossible
God doesn't expect the impossible from us. He wants us to expect the impossible from Him. - Dwight L. Moody
A Child's Pace
When we trust a child's pace, we give them something far more valuable than success. We give them ownership of their own growth. - Iben Sandahl
Love
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. - Martin Luther King Jr.
Hope
When we are trapped in a tunnel of misery, hope points to the light at the end. When we are tempted to quit, hope keeps us going. - Charles R. Swindoll
Experience Boredom
Let your kids experience boredom. There is nothing healthier for a child than to learn how to use their own interior resources to work through the challenges of being bored. - Dr. Nicholas Kardaras
Begin the Day
Do not have your concert first, and then tune your instruments afterwards. Begin the day with the Word of God and prayer, and get first of all into harmony with Him. - Hudson Taylor
Praying for Me
If I could hear Christ praying for me in the next room, I would not fear a million enemies. Yet the distance makes no difference; He is praying for me. - Robert Murray M'Cheyne
But
I have yet to meet one Christian who has 'lived happily ever after.' But I have seen many cling to their joy, radiate hope, and sustain a winsome spirit, even through tears. - Charles R. Swindoll

To pray is to enter the treasure house of God and to gather riches out of an inexhaustible storehouse. - Charles H. Spurgeon
Smile of Heaven
I would rather have the smile of heaven than the applause of the world. - Dwight L. Moody
Best-case Scenario
Don't forget to imagine the best-case scenario too. Sincerely, God. - Krista Ruiz
Connected with God
When we walk with God through dark valleys, we become inseparably connected with Him. - Charles R. Swindoll
Waiting on God
Waiting on God is living on what I know to be true about God when I don't know know what's true about my life. - Mark Vroegop
The Word
Don't believe everything you think. You cannot be trusted to tell yourself the truth. Stay in the Word. - Jerry Bridges
