Quote of the Day

From recent reading, I have pondered the following:

"Augustine said that you have to start your relationship with God all over from the beginning, every day. Yesterday's faith does not wait for you like a dog with your slippers and the morning paper in its mouth. You seek it, and in seeking it, you find it."

Anne Lamott
Plan B - Further Thoughts on Faith

Lord, keep me seeking what it means to live in you through Jesus Christ.

Timely quote. I just bought Plan B yesterday.

I love Anne Lamott's words and, once again, find them hope-filling. Right now my faith feels like the slobbery newspaper in the dog's mouth!! It is comforting to read that in seeking it, you find it. It is also wonderful to be reminded that, even with a faith feeling worn out and slobbery, God stands waiting to make it new and fresh. Thank you Lord Jesus!
