About This Quote

The nurse smiled and patted my arm. “Don’t give up yet. Sometimes when we think God has written The End, what he really means is The Beginning.” It was the end of the day for me, my work done for the day. I had given up on God, on heaven, on anything that was supposed to happen.

I had given up on hope. I had given up on life. But what the nurse was telling me was that sometimes when we are down for the count, God is writing the beginning of something new.

The ending may not be what you had imagined but it can be something more fantastic than any ending you could have imagined.
