All of the above are recent tweets -- the collection of which
are the main reasons I have a Twitter account...
I do appreciate you sharing your tweets Rebecca...I do not tweet so I would be missing out on some great quotes.
ReplyDeleteI think those are really good tweets Rebecca. I can barely fit blogging in anymore. I don't know how you find the time! Wouldn't it be interesting if God sent someone a tweet! Love Di ♥
ReplyDeleteIt's called "copy and paste", Di....
DeleteThese are lovely nourishing quotes.
ReplyDeleteI just read what Ms. Diana said....and I do believe that God sends us "tweets", if that's an appropriate analogy for when He speaks to us thru His Holy Spirit. These quotes that you've shared today are a way of God speaking to your heart thru others. We have that in common....our love of words....and His Word. Thank you so much for being a vessel for Him....and thank you for stopping by and leaving encouragement for this old, tired lady!!! HOPE you have a great weekend!!!
ReplyDeleteThank YOU, Deb. Yes, I thought the same thing about God "tweet" (no disrespect intended....).
DeleteOooh, more wonderful quotes for my journal, Rebecca. Thanks. I am especially touched by the first and last quotes.
ReplyDeleteYes! The first - so reassuring; the second, challenging. I have limited my twitter account to following only a few. I find these short "snippets" stay with me longer than longer paragraphs or pages.....
Deletelots to think about...thank you!!
ReplyDeleteThose Nouwen quotes really spoke to me. As I'm off work every summer, I sometimes feel guilty about the time I spend just reflecting and praying...our to-list around the house goes to the back burner. But I must 'seek first the kingdom', and so I do take the time for the essential and sometimes let the 'urgent' go.
ReplyDeleteDebora, I need constant reminders about this myself!
DeleteYou can be sure that some of these have found their way into my journal!
ReplyDeleteMine, too, Pamela!
