Once again ’tis late & Virginia the Blogger must needs get her beauty sleep (!! – that’s a joke, but sleep is Rather Nice when you can get some, especially that rare-around-here uninterrupted premium pillow time…)
SO, here’s a quote from that great Cistercian, St. Bernard of Clairvaux:
“Learn the lesson that, if you are to do the work of a prophet, what you need is not a scepter but a hoe.”
grace, peace & busy hoes

Roses in the Rubble 
This one got passed onto my brother and sister missionaries because so much of our ministry is working right alongside those we are ministering to. Thanks!
amen! i had this on the wall for years in the Middle East, & again in Africa… (helps keep Proper Perspective! : ) a total fav!
What a wonderful quote, Virginia. Thanks for sharing!
Thought you might like this one, Sharron – you seem good at multi-tasking many ‘hoes’ (plowing the fields of ignorance & planting seeds of awareness of so many issues! : )
