"Something beautiful, something grand.  All of my confusion, He understands.  All I have to offer Him is brokenness and strife, but He can make something beautiful out of my life." 

~Unknown (From a Song)

{ One Hundred Twenty-Five }

"How beautiful are the arms which have embraced Christ, the hands which have touched Christ, the eyes which have gazed upon Christ, the lips which have spoken with Christ, the feet which have followed Christ.  How beautiful are the hands which have worked the works of Christ, the feet which treading in HIS footsteps have gone about doing good, the lips which spread abroad His Name, the lives which have been counted loss for Him."

~Christina Rosetti

{ Thirty-Seven }

"I never saw an eye so bright, 

And yet so soft as hers; 

It sometimes swam in liquid light,

 And sometimes swam in tears; 

It seemed a beauty set apart

For softness and for sighs."

~Mrs. Welby (Elsie Dinsmore, Book 1)
