Finding joy in the everyday

E lisabeth Elliot has been an inspiration for many women around the world. She  passed away on the 15 th of June aged 88 and has gone home to be with her Father. In remembrance of her great work and her unfailing love for the Lord Jesus Christ, I thought I would gather up some of her quotes to share. She really was a woman that dedicated her life to the Lord and focused her energy in sharing that wonderful Message. “ Her legacy is in hundreds of thousands of women like me… She called us all to see the empty promises of the world's definition of womanhood and to accept the contentment of womanhood as God designed it to be experienced” (quote Dannah Gresh) Elizabeth Elliot uses her experiences as a daughter, wife, mother, widow, and missionary to bring the message of Christ to countless women and men around the world and even though she is gone, her books and messages live on and we can continue to benefit from her wisdom and love of the Lord Jesus Christ...

When your mother asks,  "Do you want a piece of advice?" it's a mere formality.  It doesn't matter if you answer yes or no.  You're going to get it anyway.  By Erma Bombeck ***
