There is something about the twilight hours that is able to convince us that life is not good … nothing will ever change … and that our lives don’t have any meaning.

We all long to be perfect moms—but that is not going to happen, dear one. Perfect is not a feasible option for any of us, but perhaps a better goal is wonderful.

I have also experienced great joy and victory simply because I decided to pray without ceasing.   

As I have done a painful self-examination of the savings account of my heart … I have come to realize what is important to me in terms of earth’s treasures.
