My favorite quote is from Corrie Ten Boom who was born, raised and lived in Haarlam, Netherlands. She and her family made the decision to help fellow Christians and fellow citizens during WW2 under the Nazi's constant eye and regulations. They were taken to the concentration camp Ravensbruck in Germany. Her father and sister died there. She went through many horrible things there and then through an error in paper work (but not God's error - :) ) She was released. The following is a quote of her's. <br />“No pit is so deep that He is not deeper still; with Jesus even in our darkest moments, the best remains and the very best is yet to be.”<br /><br />I would love to see you do a digi of part A of this quote - “No pit is so deep that He is not deeper still" and I think it would be so fitting to put this quote in the middle of a wreath of the Netherlands "unofficial" national flower, tulips. Also I would love to see the "He" in that part A capitalized "HE" to represent God. (Which is who she was referring.) <br /><br />Thank you so much for the chance to share. I am a big fan of your stamps as you know. ~ Ann <br /><br /><br /><br /> Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02118174700295295849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488393550159585752.post-31154517544503465272016-09-17T20:44:02.015-05:002016-09-17T20:44:02.015-05:00I am inspired by her great faith in God, strength ...I am inspired by her great faith in God, strength and the amazing help God gave her to forgive.

One that has been with me over the years and strongly since the boys were in 6th grade is author unknown "When I ask God to direct my path, I need to accept the doors HE closed along the way. " I had this made into a stamp for cards and use it a lot. <br /><br />Often I find that we pray for one door to close and he chooses a different door to close and we are frustrated that it was not the door we asked to be closed. Funny how in retrospect that was the best door to have closed not the one we were asking to be closed. ;-) Stacy Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03071363551648747349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488393550159585752.post-83376848273469590422016-09-11T09:36:58.647-05:002016-09-11T09:36:58.647-05:00Cheryl Phil 4:8 one of my favorites!

One is "You will keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You." God truly brought this to my mind when I was in the ER not knowing what was wrong with me for many hours. Another one is 1 Peter 5:7, "Cast all your cares on Him, for He cares for you.” Finally, Philippians 4:8, “Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable — if anything is excellent or praiseworthy — think about such things.” This was the passage my mom’s pastor shared with her to encourage her as she battled breast cancer. I would LOVE to see 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 as a coloring page!
