Monday Ponderings {April 10th}

God’s comfort is never weakening; He leaves the soul He comforts stronger to fight, braver to suffer, grateful, not sorry for itself, keen to go on “to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.”

Thou Givest, They Gather

Amy Carmichael

pg 77

Never be without a good book…

There is no Frigate like a Book
To take us Lands away
Nor any Coursers like a Page
Of prancing Poetry –
This Traverse may the poorest take
Without oppress of Toll –
How frugal is the Chariot
That bears the Human Soul –

~Emily Dickinson

He ate and drank the precious words,

His spirit grew robust,

He knew no more that he was poor,

Or that his frame was dust.

He danced along the dingy ways,

And this bequest of wings

Was but a book. What liberty

A loosened spirit brings!

~Emily Dickinson
