"...Thus grew the tale of Wonderland: Thus slowly one by one, it's quaint events were hammered out- and now the tale is done...the dream child moving through a land of wonders wild and new, In friendly chat with bird
or beast-and half believe it true..." -Lewis Carroll

Strong Shoes


This next quote has brought me tremendous comfort on even the hardest of days. It was first said by Corrie Ten Boom, survivor of a Nazi Prison Camp during World War II. Words can often mean nothing, but coming from a woman who, in the face of the Nazi Regime, hid Jews in her home, until her actions were discovered by the authorities, was thereafter imprisoned, forced to work with little food, watched her sister die, and who only survived herself because of a clerical error....well...these words are powerful. 

"If God sends us on strong paths, we are provided with strong shoes."
- Corrie Ten Boom

***For anyone looking for a good, thought provoking read, I highly recommend Corrie Ten Boom's book, The Hiding Place
