Peace in the Garden by ann marquette
From one of my devotionals… “God Calling” edited by A.J. Russell. This spoke to a very deep place in my heart.
“Each word or thought of yours can be like a pearl that you drop into the secret place of another heart, and in some hour of need, lo! the recipient finds the treasure and realizes for the first time its value.”
What a deep thought. I am currently using “The Power of a Positive Woman” by Karol Ladd and getting so much out of it. It has lots of stuff in it similar to this along with very interesting examples of people who actually put Biblical truths into practice. I highly recommend it. (This is my first time here, saw your comment on “Mighty Inspiration” and thought I’d come over.

Oh how beautiful! Attributing the qualities and significance of a pearl to thoughts and words! Life’s most valuable treasures are those that are evaluated, appreciated and enjoyed by the heart. Beautiful thoughts and valuable words are the greatest treasures to deposit in any heart that we can reach. Lovely post, Ann!

Thank you teecee. It never fails to make me smile when I read words of wisdom which God spoke to someone’s spirit and they shared it with others; then others share it, etc. Like a pebble skipping across the waters of time and space.
Sorry I am not spending as much time as I should and would like on our blogs. After working a full day to make money, then having to do other chores, doesn’t leave much quality time to write and read (and comment on my blogger friends’ posts).

When I first started going to our church. An older lady who is now gone… shared a book about how our words are like silver boxes….

Thanks coastalmom for stopping by. So glad you like this. It is a beautiful thought. The creative side of my brain imagines a work of art…a heart with pearls inside, and/or pearls dropping into silver boxes.
