"It's a wonderful thing to fall in love, Beatrice. But make sure that both you and the man you marry love the Lord even more than each other."

I don't know where this is going to lead, but before you get swept away, you need to remember that the strongest marriages are between couples who share the same faith and the same values.

"But I don't agree that men and women are equal, Beatrice. God created us to be different, with different skills and qualities that complement one another.¨

Women don't hace the muscular strength to be blacksmiths and men don't hace the tenderness required to nurture a baby..."

"Women should never use them (tears) as weapons," she always insisted, "especially to prevail upon a man to change his mind."

Your kiss is like sunshine melting away the frost.

Life is like that, Beatrice - always changing, always flowing forward like a stream.

Things never stay the same. And we have to move on and change, too.

"Harriet, don't give your mother a hard time about your party dress.

Let her go ahead and decorate the outside of you. She can't change what's on the inside, you know - and that's the most important part of you.

We need to live each day as if it was a gift. God gives us that gift every morning when the sun rises, like the tickets they give out when you ride on the train.

We need to live each day as if it was a gift. God gives us that gift every morning when the sun rises, like the tickets they give out when you ride on the train (...)

Each day is a gift. When the sun comes up, we need to ask the Lord, "What would you like me to do for you today?" That's how you'll find contentment.

God is going to give you a task to do in your own time and place. Then you'll have to put your faith in Him as you follow your conscience.

That's why I wanted you to come with me today. We grow stronger every time our faith is tested. That's how we learn to trust Him.
