I made last Christmas for my mom, Jim's mom, and each of the older children full of memorable Loker quotes. Interspersed with the text were photos of the kids, mostly about age four when they said these hilarious sayings. Maybe I'll share some of those with you from time to time. Today, however, I want to leave you with some quotes that I've been mulling over the past couple of days.
"If a sudden jar can cause me to speak an impatient, unloving word, then I know nothing of Calvary's love, for a cup brimful of sweet water cannot spill even one drop of bitter water, however suddenly jolted." Amy Carmichael

"Of all the commentaries on the Scriptures, good examples are the best." John Donne

"The power of the cross is not described in the words of books, but in the lives of transformed men." (unknown)

"We have to be intentional about cultivating new patterns of godliness. This can only take place by the power of the Holy Spirit and the grace of God." Nancy Leigh DeMoss

And finally, the words of the old hymn:

"Breathe on me breath of God
Fill me with life anew.
That I may love what Thou dost love,
And do what Thou wouldst do."

Be encouraged this rainy quiet Sunday afternoon. Draw close to the Father, and He will draw close to you! Oh, and write down all those cute things your little ones say. You'll never remember it otherwise.... Likewise I would never have found these quotes if I hadn't put them in writing.
