Appreciation for Volunteers Quotes

These quotes were shared on our church bulletin today, and I wanted to pass them along. God bless you!

Baby Kisses

What is it about plump, soft cheeks on little faces
That invite kisses?
Solemn baby eyes that trust you and wonder at the odd grown-up
Who speaks in cooing tones and kisses them over and over again…
The effect is priceless, and baby love in response
Gives confidence that God is right…
There is hope for mankind.


The Rose of Sharon

Being a single woman on Valentine’s Day
Brings out hopes and dreams
My longing heart
And cravings for chocolate and roses
But it is not depressing
At least for me.
My prince will come
And my True Prince is here.
I sometimes feel like the Shulamite
Unusual and so hard at work that I am unseen…
But it is not so.
I am seen and loved.
Much loved and I love in return.

“‘I am the rose of Sharon,  and the lily of the valleys.’”
Song of Solomon 2:1 NKJV
