Quote of the Year

Now that I am 37, I realized that I will only have so many birthdays and I want to make the most of my last days on earth. When I saw this quote I thought it fit with my new outlook on life.

Here it is:

"Live your life in such a way that when your feet hit the floor in the morning, Satan shudders and says..

"Oh no, she's awake."

Deborah said...: I love this quote, I had to make a note of it in my journal...and pray that I live in such a way to make true. Happy Birthday! You are such a blessing to so many. I'm so glad I found your blog.; July 7, 2008 at 9:18:00 AM CDT
Anonymous said...: I've never heard that quote.. wouldn't that be amazing?? At 45, I fear that has never been the case for me for my righteousness is as filthy rags! There is great comfort, however. I'm sure when my feet hit the floor, clothed in the righteousness of Christ, satan most definitely trembles at the mere mention of His name! May we be found hidden in Him!; July 7, 2008 at 9:27:00 AM CDT
Just Me said...: LOL! A wonderful quote!; July 7, 2008 at 9:46:00 AM CDT
Shan said...: Dearest,

I love that quote and plan to put it in a little frame and hang it by our bed.

I am 47 and I agree that we need to live life...and scare the pants off of Satan!

I love your blog and have been inspired to be a better wife and mother because I visit here.

Yours kindredly,
Shan

Anonymous said...: I love that quote....I need to get that printed up and put on the fridge. Hope you had a great birthday. Blessings.; July 7, 2008 at 6:04:00 PM CDT
Abounding Treasures said...: Wow! I'd never heard this quote before but I pray that my life may be lived like that, at any age!

And, as Louanne pointed out, I am thankful that Satan trembles when he sees any of us, clothed in the righteousness of Christ, praying to the Lord and trusting in Him.
What a joy to be hidden in Him for eternity!!

Thanks so much for this!; July 7, 2008 at 8:10:00 PM CDT

Dawn said...: Yes!!! I have seen this quote several times and I love it!

I think once my printer arrives I am going to print it out and put it somewhere in the house so I can have it as a reminder to keep satan where he belongs! :-)

My birthday is coming up as well...July 18th...I'll be 27...

God Bless You dear one. Hope you and the family are well!!!

BLESSED MOTHERHOOD

"Oh that God would give every mother a vision of the glory and splendor of the work that is given to her when a babe is place in her bosom to be nursed and trained! Could she have but one glimpse in to the future of that life as it reaches on into eternity; could she look into it's soul to see its possibilities; could she be made to understand her own personal responsibility for the training of this child, for the development of its life, and for its destiny,--she would see that in all God's world there is no other work so noble and so worthy of her best powers, and she would commit to no others hands the sacred and holy trust given to her." -JR Miller

BUILDING STRONG MARRIAGES

"A true wife makes a man's life nobler, stronger, grander, by the omnipotence of her love 'turning all the forces of manhood upward and heavenward.' While she clings to him in holy confidence and loving dependence she brings out in him whatever is nobles and richest in his being. She inspires him with her courage and earnestness. She beautifies his life. She softens whatever is rude and harsh in his habits or his spirit. She clothes him with the gentler graces of refined and cultured manhood. While she yields to him and never disregards his lightest wish, she is really his queen, ruling his whole life and leading him onward and upward in every proper path. -JR Miller

Making Our Homes a Beautiful Refuge

"Thank God, O women, for the quietude of your home, and that you are queen it it. Men come at eventide to the home; but all day long you are there, beautifying it, sanctifying it, adorning it, blessing it. Better be there than wear a queen's coronet. Better be there than carry the purse of a princess. It may be a very humble home. There may be no carpet on the floor. There may be no pictures on the wall. There may be no silks in the wardrobe; but, by your faith in God, and your cheerful demeanor, you may garniture that place with more splendor than the upholsterer's hand ever kindled." ---Reverend T. DeWitt Talmage, D.D

I Work For a King

"I work for a King. He has put me in charge of his home. When He comes to see how I have managed His possessions and His children, I do not want to be found wanting. I want to do my best. Everything I have is on loan from Him. I have room and board and a job to do, but it is all for Him. Therefore I want to dress my best and do my best in all my work. I also want to be creative, for this is a sincere attempt to glorify Him and His beautiful creation. How I manage my home is a form of worship to Him." --Lydia Sherman
