Taken from "The Gentle Art of the Servant's Heart" by Charles R. Swindoll:

"Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from him. He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will not be shaken."

~ Psalm 62:5 - 6 (NIV)

*

"Jesus----the One who first painted the servant's portrait-----never promised us a rose garden. He came up front with, and admitted that, the arena of this world is not a friend of grace to help us on to God. Nevertheless, He went on to tell all godly servants in every generation that their influence would be nothing short of remarkable."

A had a couple of friends respond to yesterday's Karen's Korner sayings which I will email to OUR IOWA magazine for their potential use in the publication. But also I am sharing them with you today:

From Wilma Aldrich:

From Cindy Schubert:

"To keep your marriage brining

With love in the loving cup

When you're wrong admit it

And when you're right shut up.

~ Ogden Nash
