A Lancaster County Christmas
Quotes from the Book
Just because the boat rocks doesn't mean it's time to jump overboard.
I think you're the kind of man a girl can count on. You just can't let go of losing your family. You can't let yourself love because you think your heart can't handle it . . . that something bad will happen. But you're wrong. It's true . . . grief is the price for love. But hearts are made to mend. Christ can do wonders with a broken heart, if given all the pieces.
Time is like the Mississippi River. It only flows in one direction. You can never go back.
What was home, really? Just a place to lay your head. No. It was so much more than that. It was a place where a person belonged. Where a fellow would be missed. It was a part of a man. Something that couldn't be sold or taken for granted.
He wanted to leave the past a few hundred miles down the road, shake it off like dust. But that ws the problem with the past. It kept finding him.
Why did it take the threat of dying to truly notice how exquisite a sunrise or sunset could be?
Go far from home and yo will have a long way back.
Men are all alike. Grown-up children.
Burying your talents is a grave mistake.
A person's eyes, they could tell you everything.
