Hi Jennefer ~ Those are all great quotes. Thank you for posting them. I have always liked the verse Isaiah 54:13, which says, "All your children shall be taught by the Lord, and great shall be the peace of your children." Blessings, Renay
I enjoyed each one of them. The one about waking to change the world and have one hell of a good time..that one ubrought on a giggle. I have always loved quotes but so often they overwhelm me with my struggles and desire to do better in so many areas!
Love to your whole family,
