I had it sitting there in a corner gathering dust a long while.<br /><br />My inspirational material tends to gather around my bedside. On top of my night table, and if that gets to overflowing then on the shelves beneath (I won't mention the floor beside)....<br /><br />Of course we all know the key thing is that we take the time to be with Him, in which ever way that works for us, because He waits with such a longing heart for us to come and be with Him.<br /><br />Thanks again for sharing your pretty basket of inspiration with us. It was lovely to think of you with it as you rest in His presence.<br /><br />Happy Weekend!Brenda @ Its A Beautiful Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02955486477303938670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-38025995446541672242010-02-19T20:14:57.422-05:002010-02-19T20:14:57.422-05:00Glad to hear you are feeling better!!
Your basket...Glad to hear you are feeling better!!<br /><br />Your basket is a cute idea! And the storage of it as well! That is my need...either pare down more (and working on that) and find better ways to store things in attractive ways!<br />Blessings, ElizabethAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-65669918128851786842010-02-19T19:51:53.877-05:002010-02-19T19:51:53.877-05:00I also enjoy Oswald Chambers and John Piper.

My Utmost for His Highest and Valley of Vision are my two favorites. I replace them with something else, from time to time, but they always end up back in my own basket. <br /><br />So glad to hear you are feeling better! Myself?

Mine has my Bible, my journal, The Comforting Presence of God by Nancie Carmichael, Answering God's Call To Quiet by Neva Coyle and A Place Called Simplicity: The Quiet Beauty of Simple Living by Claire Cloninger. I think I need to put a couple of these books away, finish one and then pull another one out. It seems I need to simplify my basket!<br />~Adrienne~Adriennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09401476871614514660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-29986464706133426012010-02-19T17:26:25.637-05:002010-02-19T17:26:25.637-05:00Ahhh, yes, you've shared about your quiet time...Ahhh, yes, you've shared about your quiet time basket before and I set one up that very day. It is no more and I really don't know why. Must've gone the way of spring cleaning or something. Anyway, it was a habit that I enjoyed for a few months and faded away and haven't thought about until right now. Perhaps I'll find my basket again and put it back together. <br /><br />I have a terribly challenging time reading the Donald Miller types of the world. A lot of what they write is incredible, but then I find myself wondering how much one should absorb from a person whose values are so far from my personal conservative values. It's a sticky wicket for me. I've probably mentioned this before. I think that, by now, I've probably mentioned every single thing at least once before.

Since I must lie down to rest my back or ice it a few times each day, that is the perfect spot to store the books from which I glean inspiration and encouragement. <br /><br />Right now I have my Bible, Common Sense Christian Living by Edith Schaeffer, Prayer for My Child by Tim A. Spilman, Let Go by Fenelon, Experiencing God Through Prayer by Madame Guyon, and Meditations on the Heart of God, also by Fenelon. Along with notebook, pen, and pencil, I can have my own little retreat. Thank you for sharing!<br /><br />Have a blessed day in the Lord, and I hope you're back to normal health very soon.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02224478477510925985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-60677477599085137202010-02-19T15:32:02.834-05:002010-02-19T15:32:02.834-05:00Love your quiet time basket!

We have a family wish bowl that is so peaceful as well, (On my blog). <br /><br />I'm currently reading Prayers for Sale by Sandra Dallas. Ever read it?<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your quiet time basket. Does it include cotton for ears. I need that sometimes ;)Alyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03957180729945043583noreply@blogger.com
