St. Teresa of Avila (Spanish Nun, Mystic and Writer, 1515-1582)

True, so we must be careful what we pray for because we only have a bit of the bigger picture. Huggage
Oh, shut up.
(I mean that with all the kindness in my heart, of course.)
Reminds me of Garth Brooks' song Thank God for Unaswered Prayers...
And here's one of my favorite quotes by her:
"To reach something good it is very useful to have gone astray, and thus acquire experience."
Have any prayers answered lately?
I think I would like to hear the back story that prompted this post.
I'm with Robin. Translation, please.
May the tears be cleansing and leave you open for the love just waiting to fill that space.
Yea, I think Garth said it first! Wait, that would make him really old....
Never mind.
