“The meekness of Christ, manifested in the home, will make the inmates happy; it provokes no quarrel, gives back no angry answer, but soothes the irritated temper and diffuses a gentleness that is felt by all within its charmed circle. Wherever cherished, it makes the families of earth a part of the one great family above.”

- Thought from the Mount of Blessing (via daretobeadaniel)

One of my students recommended a book to me which she is using to start a book club with her friends. The book is called “Be Beautiful, Be You” by Lizzie Velasquez. My student was so excited I read it myself, and while it is written on a simple reading level, the story of Lizzie’s struggles with health, bullying, and learning to trust in God is profound to any reader. Lizzie was born with a very rare, yet unnamed, medical condition preventing her from gaining weight or muscle mass, along with being blind in one eye. This book was very practical, and I am thankful that Lizzie has taken the time to share her story with the World.

Make a difference Monday: books

Reading books changes us, but reading them and then passing them on to people who they can impact in a positive way, may just be a great way to change the world. So although you may not finish a new book today, next time you finish a good book, make a difference by sharing it with someone who means something to you. :-)
