This month the Quilt Etc. Block-of-the-month class discussed
Corrie Ten Boom’s book The Hiding Place. I read this well over a decade ago for
a neighborhood book club, but it’s well worth re-reading. Here are a few of my
favorite Corrie Ten Boom quotes:
Any concern too small to be turned into a prayer is too
small to be made into a burden.
Love is the strongest force in the world, and when it is
blocked that means pain. There are two things we can do when this happens. We
can kill that love so that it stops hurting. But then of course part of us
dies, too. Or we can ask God to open up another route for that love to travel.
Worrying is carrying tomorrow's load with today's strength-
carrying two days at once. It is moving into tomorrow ahead of time. Worrying
doesn't empty tomorrow of its sorrow, it empties today of its strength.
