Danh ngôn của Joni Eareckson Tada (Sứ mệnh: 3)

In the Christian faith, God really puts suffering front and center. He doesn't get squeamish about it.
My weakness, that is, my quadriplegia, is my greatest asset because it forces me into the arms of Christ every single morning when I get up.
Alzheimer's disease is never an 'accident' in a marriage. It falls under the purview of God's sovereignty. In the case of someone with Alzheimer's, this means God's unconditional and sacrificial love has an opportunity to be even more gloriously displayed in a life together.
I have an interesting perspective on depending on others. I think it gives people a chance to serve. And I'm not so much big on independence, as I am on interdependence. I'm not talking about co-dependency, I'm talking about giving people the opportunity to practicing love with its sleeves rolled up.
Well, painting is the one thing I do, that is just me. It's me and easels, and the pencils. And as long as I don't drool too much over the canvas, the colors come out pretty good. And it's a chance to express all that I've got inside, that I sometimes keep hidden. And I think that's why I paint big broad, wide open landscapes.
If you truly believe in the value of life, you care about all of the weakest and most vulnerable members of society.
The hallmark of a healthy society has always been measured by how it cares for the disadvantaged.
I was in every club and extra-curricular activity at high school, and I was in the National Honor Society.
None of us, in our culture of comfort, know how to prepare ourselves for dying, but that's what we should do every day. Every single day, we die a thousand deaths.
When we say yes to the grace of God, we are learning how to die.
