Danh ngôn của Amy Grant (Sứ mệnh: 9)

I can look at the future with anticipation. And it's comforting to know that someday, as Christians, we'll be able to look back and have a little more clarity on why certain things in life happened.
If you went to your closet today, would you pull out the same outfit you wore 10 or 15 years ago? You wear feelings and faith differently as well.
Life goes by really fast, and it seems that there are times when you're burying a lot of friends and family. And then there are times that feel really precious and everybody is doing okay. This is one of those times.
But my experience is that people who have been through painful, difficult times are filled with compassion.
Come Christmas Eve, we usually go to my mom and dad's. Everybody brings one gift and then we play that game when we all steal it from each other. Some are really cool, others are useful and some are a bit out there.
Depending on what day of the week it is and what time of the month it is, I'm a good friend or not a good friend. I'm more or less a good mom or not a good mom, more or less a good mate or not a good mate. That's just life, whether or not you're public.
Every good relationship, especially marriage, is based on respect. If it's not based on respect, nothing that appears to be good will last very long.
I can look back at different times in my life when I felt I could not find my way out of whatever it was. I'm not necessarily talking about marriage, but I wanted to pack it in. I wanted to disappear. A lot of that has to do with being in the public eye.
I did the best I could, and in some arenas, my best was not good enough. I've made some bad choices.
Since I travel so much, it's always great to be home. There's nothing like getting to raid my own refrigerator at two in the morning.
The people I've been exposed to have been people of amazing integrity.
There's a beauty to wisdom and experience that cannot be faked. It's impossible to be mature without having lived.
The more time you invest in a marriage, the more valuable it becomes.
Somebody who has been in a very bad wreck is going to be very conscientious about not speeding through a yellow light... You just learn so many good lessons when you go through a failed marriage.
Real relationship is gritty and earthy, the stuff that life is made of.
Faith is salted and peppered through everything at Christmas. And I love at least one night by the Christmas tree to sing and feel the quiet holiness of that time that's set apart to celebrate love, friendship, and God's gift of the Christ child.
Thanksgiving Day is a good day to recommit our energies to giving thanks and just giving.
