'Keep your heart

open to the

correction of the

Lord, and be ready to receive

God's chastisements,

regardless of who

hold the whip"

A.W. TOZER

TRUE STORY

"Years ago in the deep South, late at night, an older African American woman was standing on the side of a road, trying to endure a violent thunderstorm. Her car had broken down, and she desperately needed a ride. Her clothes became soaking wet, as she unsuccessfully tried to get someone to stop. Then, an almost unheard of thing, in those days of racial conflict,happened.

A young white man stopped, took her to safety, assisted her, and paid for her taxi ride. As she profusely thanked him, she took the time to write down his name and address. Several days later; there was a large console television delivered to the young man's home. A special not was attached that read:

"Thank you so much for assisting me on the highway me that dark and dangerous night. That storm drenched not only my spirit as well. Then you stopped and so compassionately helped me. Because of you, I was able to make it to my dying husband's bedside just before he died. God bless you for helping me, and unselfishly serving others.

 

 

Sincerly,

 

 

Mrs. Nat King Cole

Thank you Frankie for posting these. The Tozer quote is hard to accept for me. The story of the good Samaritan is a reminder that God uses those who are available and able to listen to His urgings.

welcome to wonderful world of blogging, and you will realize as I have that blogging very therupetic. I have found blogging about positive aspects of my life very therupetic since small things which brought me joys in life when I write down then I don't forget those small funny things I did with my family, & don't take them for granted. When I am down, I know I can get lot of supports from my friends here who has walked in my shoes & understand my pain. I love all your quotes.

Achandra,

 

You say to me I'm so positive and reading faith based books, research inspiring quotes is how I've managed it. I thought if it helped me so maybe others may find the things I look up may help them. I include general inspirational quotes, not only faith based to have a little something for everyone. So far, I find it has given me a daily purpose. Thanks for being an inspiring person in my life.
