Browsed my latest Keepers at Home and Victoria mags while enjoying my coffee and sourdough this morning...
And came across this quote in Victoria: "If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need." - Marcus Tullius Cicero
Well...almost everything...
Reading Called to Be Amish, (another book in the Plainspoken series), and knitting fingerless gloves for Bec's shop...
And from Keepers at Home, this Poem by Amy Carmichael...
Love
Travelling -
Amy Carmichael
Love,
travelling in the greatness of His strength,
Found
me alone,
Wearied
a little by the journey's length,
Though
I had known,
All
the long way, many a kindly air,
And
flowers had blossomed for me everywhere.
And
yet, Love found me fearful, and He stayed;
Love
stayed by me.
"Let
not thy heart be troubled or dismayed,
My
child," said He.
Slipped
from me then all troubles, all alarms;
For
Love had gathered me into His arms.
