People throw away what they could have by insisting on perfection, which they cannot have, and looking for it where they will never find it.
More Quotes from Edith Schaeffer:
Children are meant to understand compassion and comfort because they have received compassion and comfort - and this should be in the family setting. A family should be a place where comfort is experienced and understood, so that the people are prepared to give comfort to others.Edith Schaeffer
It makes sense that there is no sense without God.

The thing about real life is that important events dont announce themselves. Trumpets dont blow, drums dont beat to let you know you are going to meet the most important person youve ever met, or read the most important thing you are ever going to read, or have the most important conversation you are ever going to have, or spend the most important week you are ever going to spend. Usually something that is going to change your whole life is a memory before you can stop and be impressed about it. You dont usually have a chance to get excited about that sort of thingahead of time.
