O Thou far off and near, whole and broken, Who in necessity and bounty wait, Whose truth is light and dark, mute tho spoken, By Thy wide grace show me Thy narrow gate.
I wrote this quote down a few weeks ago and have been thinking about whether it's true or not.
"Everything difficult indicates something more than our theory of life yet embraces." - George MacDonald as quoted in the book Disappointment with God by Yancey.
The week before Christmas I made a bunch of cookies for the memorial service of my friend Terry. It was a strange juxtaposition of emotions for me to be making these when usually one is making Christmas cookies and all. Terry will be missed and treasured in our hearts forever.
