Bessie-isms:

*You’ve done nothing to justify God entrusting you with a child, a soul to parent and raise, yet He does. He has faith in you, that you will rise up and do what is required, to love and care properly for it. If you don’t, you won’t like the consequences later, just so you’ll know.

*When you confront another’s grief, you feel inadequate, a child confronted by an adult, with no idea how to act. If words fail you, just hug them, and keep doing so; your touch is a miracle in nonverbal form.

Quotable:

In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.

Albert Einstein
