The Value of the Word “No”
“For me, the hardest word in the English language is … NO.
I would like to be able to say yes to everyone and everything,
but obedience to Christ requires me at times to say NO.
Like the gardener pruning the vine, I must constantly trim away
unnecessary activities if new life is to spring forth.”

Sorry to see you go my friend, but at the end of the day, you’re right. God bless.
Thanks, Kurt. I appreciate the invite!

Jonell, THANK you for this pictoral setting for this quote!
Set in a vine and grapes frame reinforces the connection to John 15.2. Awesome!
You’re the greatest!

Awe … thanks!
Your sis,

I found another “NO Quote” to share with you all:
“Learn to say no; it will be of more use to you than to be able to read Latin.”
– Charles Haddon Spurgeon
– Jonell
This is good!
I’m sure Spurgeon (and many since him) have had ample opportunity to put this to good use. Even more than knowing Latin.
