I absolutely LOVE this theme…did I say that?

“You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.” ― C.S. Lewis

“All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake up in the day to find it was vanity, but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams with open eyes, to make it possible.” ― T.E. Lawrence,

“Like when you sit in front of a fire in winter — you are just there in front of the fire. You don’t have to be smart or anything. The fire warms you.” ― Desmond Tutu

“God is willing to walk the earth again incarnate in us.” ― Eugenia Price, Early Will I Seek Thee

There is no greater love than God’s. He has loved us with an everlasting love and given us a never-ending gift.
