I read this great quote by E.T. Sullivan tonight worthy of passing along.
"When God wants a great work done in the world or a great wrong righted, he goes about it in a very unusual way. He doesn't stir up his earthquakes or send forth his thunderbolts. Instead, he has a helpless baby born, perhaps in a simple home and of some obscure mother. And then God puts the idea into the mother's heart, and she puts it into the baby's mind. And then God waits. The greatest forces in the world are not the earthquakes and the thunderbolts. The greatest forces in the world are babies."

- I have hoped to be a mother for as long as I can remember. My daughter was placed in my arms on November 12, 2006 in Hohhot, China. Then, a little over 2 years later, right in my own state, my darling baby boy was placed in my arms. Dreams really do come true!!!

That is profound and very sweet. Thanks!
Oh my goodness! I just found out last week that the baby I'm carrying has spina bifida. We are praying with authority and agreement that the area around his L3 vertebrae is healed! When I ran across your blog and read this I realized that I am getting an extra special little boy! He's dancing on my bladder as I write.

What a beautiful quote!
I read that the other day too and had the same moment as you. Doesn't God work in great ways.
Perfect :)
That made my heart very warm and I could not agree more. Thanks for sharing such a sweet quote! That's a keeper!
That is so funny that you posted this! I just got through posting it then saw it on your bolg! I guess it touched us both.
