“Little drops of water  Little grains of sand Make the mighty ocean  And the beauteous land   Little deeds of kindness,  Little words of love,  Make our earth an Eden,  Like the heaven above   And the little moments,  Humble though they be,  Make the mighty ages.  Of eternity. —Julia Abigail Fletcher Carney”

“The real problem of the Christian life comes where people do not usually look for it. It comes the very moment you wake up each morning. All your wishes and hopes for the day rush at you like wild animals. And the first job each morning consists simply in shoving them all back; in listening to that other voice, taking that other point of view, letting that other larger, stronger, quieter life come flowing in. And so on, all day. Standing back from all your natural fussings and frettings; coming in and out of the wind." — C.S. Lewis”
