Simple Sunday


"Time is one of God's gifts which we easily take for granted, and in the use of which we are commonly prodigal. It is rich in opportunities, yet it is relentless in its record of our selection. According to the way we spend the minutes and hours we will find the Divine Spirit within us coming into possession or being crowded out of our lives."
~ Philadelphia Yearly Meeting, Religious Society of Friends, 1927

  1. "according to the way we spend the minutes and hours"....that's powerful. It reminds me of Psalm 90:12 that says, "Teach us to number our days aright that we might gain a heart of wisdom." Have a wonderful day!

  2. Thank you for the beautiful quote. I just started reading your blog after being directed here by the baby gnome pattern. Thank you for sharing the pattern--I have already made two for my two young sons for Christmas. What a sweet little knit! I'm enjoying your blog--very inspiring.
