A Place for Hope — Quotes
Maintain the glow! You must not let it die. You do not know how many look to Him because they see your candle burning bright throughout the night. Maintain the glow!

His glory and His triumph shall be yours if you, through hours of darkness, toil and woe, maintain the glow. Jean Porter

Oh Great Spirit, whose voice I hear in the winds, and whose breath gives
life to all the world, hear me!
I am small and weak. I need your strength and wisdom.
Let me walk in beauty and make my eyes ever behold the red and purple
sunset.
Make my hands respect the things you have made and my ears sharp to
hear your voice.
Make me wise so that I may understand the things you have taught my
people.
Let me learn the lessons you have hidden in every leaf and rock.
I seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my
greatest enemy-myself.
Make me always ready to come to you with clean hands and straight eyes
so when life fades, as the fading sunset, my spirit may come to you
without shame
