That book sounds wonderful.  Sounds like Mary would have been a great "mother" to many of us.  Great person to sip tea with on the porch and glean from her knowledge.

Where did you purchase that book? I do see them online, but don't know if there is a better place to buy?

@srheam - Hello!  I ordered it from amazon, but if you click (in the post) the title of the book, there is a scanned copy of the entire book online.  At least that way you can read some of it and decide whether or not it's worth buying for your own personal library.  Have a lovely afternoon ~ Shanda

I LOVE the berries in that nest, I have a nest with little red berries in it in my living room, it is so special to me because someone I love so very much gave it to me, she is a missionary in India now.

I know the name of this author I am sure I have read about her before and am eager to read the book myself, the first quote...oh it is so much what i have been feeling, I have been praying/begging the Lord to make truly honest, psalm 51:6, and Psalm 32:2 (what joy for..those whose lives are lived in complete honesty) just grab me every time. but the quote also talks about humility, we are nothing, less than nothing and He is everything and yet we forget and try to make ourselves bigger than we are....thanks Shanda for inspiring me today!
