Quotes from Mother's Diary

Quotes from Anne Freemantle recorded in my mother's diary, copied onto an index card, hanging on my bedroom wall:

"~He hath taken hold of his evil thoughts in the very beginning and dashed them against the Rock, which is Christ."

"~Satan was straightway driven away by the mention of the Name of Christ like a sparrow before a hawk."

"~Every movement of the mind affects in some degree the body."

"~The lure of the first temptation~to take instead of waiting to be given."

"~If he should happen to fall, overcome by temptation, let him not be consumed by sadness, nor despair of the mercy of Him, "who lifteth up all who fall and setteth up all who are cast down."
