"La oss ikke kaste bort dagen i dag ved å bekymre oss for hva som kan hende i morgen" (...) Hum måtte gjøre det samme, hvile i sin Himmelske Far mens han snudde om hver sy side i livet hennes.

Når jeg faller - noe som ofte skjer - kan jeg enten bli liggende der og synes synd på meg selv, eller jeg kan ta imot hjelp, reise meg og fortsette.
"Rachel Yoder, a New Order Amish woman, lost her husband and son in a tragic accident two years ago. Now, returning to her aging parents with her young daughter, she has resigned herself to the life of a widow. With a subdued but cheerful heart she helps her family run a bed-and-breakfast in a quaint Lancaster county town.
Philip Bradley, a world-weary journalist from New York City on assignment in Lancaster to write an article on the Amish community, is a lodger at the Yoder's B&B. A chance discovery by Philip of a postcard written in illegible Pennsylvania Dutch in the dresser of his room sets off a series of events that leads him into the heart of the Amish life and to the bedside of a mysterious woman known as "The Storyteller." With the postcard as a link to a haunted past, the woman gradually weaves a riveting tale as old as herself about a community shuttered in secrecy, shattered by betrayal.
Fascinated by the story, Philip's and Rachel's lives become inevitably intertwined despite the attempts of the community to protect her from the outsider. Torn by devotion to the people she loves and the awakening feelings in her heart, Rachel searches her past to restore old wounds in order than new love might grow." Bethany House Publishers
"After the dramatic conclusion to his discovery of a long-lost postcard, journalist Philip Bradley simply cannot forget the Amish people he met while on assignment in Pennsylvania--particularly Rachel Yoder and her young daughter, Annie. Rachel's cheerful outlook, in spite of her blindness, and her appealing, uncomplicated lifestyle beckon Philip amid the high-paced existence of his New York career.
Philip's newfound knowledge of the true reason for Rachel's loss of sight spurs him on to uncover what he can about the possibility for a cure. In Lancaster County, Rachel has her own ideas about the way her vision might be restored, and it doesn't include the local healer and his black box. Now, Rachel firmly believes the God she serves is the only One who can grant her sight, but as the memories of the trauma she suffered begin to resurface, Rachel questions whether she can bear the agonizing road to recovery.
Drawn back to Lancaster County over the Christmas holidays, Philip struggles with the vast gulf separating him from the beautiful Plain woman. Rachel has suffered unbearable heartache; will his growing affection for her only bring more of the same? Or must Philip and Rachel sacrifice a future together for the sake of all they know and love?" Bethany House Publishers

Uthold alt du møter i livet. Lær alt du kan. Legg merke til alle velsignelser. Gi aldri opp. Fortsett å vokse i Herren.
Gud, gi meg slik sinnsro at jeg formår å godta de ting jeg ikke kan forandre.
Gud, gi meg mot til å forandre de ting jeg kan.

"Jammen godt at Gud ikke lar seg begrense av planene vi selv legger. Hans plan er så uendelig mye større. Når du blir så gammel som meg, får du tid til å sitte stille og ta et grundig overblikk over livet ditt. Da kommer du til å skjønne at Guds plan også var mye bedre."

It's great to have plans, but don't forget to live your life right now. It's a mistake to overlook today because your eyes are on tomorrow or looking back to the past.
When we're always wishing for the past or the future, we miss today.

Children are supposed to grow up and leave the nest and fly on their own. Of course, we want to hold them close, and we want them to always need us. But that is not healthy for them or for us.

Mothers are often ignored and rarely thanked. But Jesus said that the most important command is to love God and love others. So that tells me that being a wife and a mother is one of the most important jobs in the world. I am not just serving my family, I am serving God. And only He can make you feel fulfilled.

"That's my gift to you - to be the kind of husband who works hard so you can have the home you deserve. I love you more than I ever imagined I could love someone. Just return that love. That's all I'll ever ask from you."
She couldn't imagine a love like that, couldn't imagine that someone would want to give so much and ask only for her love in return.

In the winter stillness, Helen heard the faint rustle of leafless branches, the distant call of birds. The snow lay sparkling in gentle drifts. "It's real pretty out here," Rosa said in a near whisper.

Her father might as well have been standing behind her, she heard his voice so clearly. After banging into one tree after another, falling flat after tripping over a stump on the ground, and nearly losing an eye to a broken branch, she heeded her father's long-ago advice.
