Quotes by Sherry L. Hoppe (?)

“Between the radiant white of a clear conscience and the coal black of a conscience sullied by sin lie many shades of gray--where most of us live our lives. Not perfect but not beyond redemption.”

“Someone once advised, “Happy moments, praise God. Difficult moments, seek God. Busy moments, bless God. Quiet moments, worship God. Waiting moments, trust God. Painful moments, touch God. Lovely moments, thank God.” We can follow this advice if we keep God at the center of our lives. With him in control, there is nothing in our life we won’t be able to handle. And, when others see our faith, they, too, may find the way.”
― Sherry Hoppe, Daily Devotions for Finding Faith Behind Clouds: 365 inspiring stories and more with post-it meditations
