Since words elude me when I need them most, I learned long ago that I cannot count on QUALITY time with God when I want to pray. I need QUANTITY and regularity. Quality is not something I can predict. My husband, Andy, and I might schedule an elaborate evening out with candles and a gourmet meal, but there is no guarantee that we'll have a wonderful time together -- chopping onions peppers die by side in the kitchen, reading together on the couch, sitting on the front step watching our sons ride bikes, and making plans for our life together. .

About This Quote

It is true we can not predict when we will have quality time with God. But we can count on having quality time daily. We can count on quality time daily because we need it and we can make it happen by taking small steps daily. We can make great things happen and great relationships happen by taking small steps each day.
