A Moment With Pastor Fred

From time to time I collect quotes that are memorable and that I find especially helpful to me. Below are some with that focus on thanksgiving.

“The deepest things that I have learned in my own life have come from the deepest suffering. And out of the deepest waters and the hottest fires have come the deepest things that  I know about God.”  – Elisabeth Elliot

“The good the bad, the ugly, the foolish, the disastrous, the wise, the encouraging, the difficult, and the uncertain are all brought underneath the sovereign control of a God who does all things well.”  – Alistair Begg

“There is no past act that we’ve ever done that God can’t weave into a good and beautiful tapestry. That’s the kind of God we have.”  – John Piper

“God is more concerned with conforming me to the likeness of his Son than leaving me in my comfort zones. God is more  interested in inward qualities than outward circumstance – things like refining my faith, humbling my heart, cleaning up my thought life and strengthening my character.”  – Joni Eareckson Tada

“It is not happy people who are thankful. It is thankful people who are happy.”  – Unknown

“It is always possible to be thankful for what is given rather than resentful over what is withheld. One attitude or the other becomes a way of life.”  – Elisabeth Elliot
