I love your QUIET theme, dear Sarah. Very beautiful. Be assured that I am tip toeing throughout my visit; reflecting and pondering. If I catch anyone making any noise while I am here, I will be sure to shhhh them politely asking them to respect the QUIET that envelops one here.

Seriously though, we need more QUIET and times to pause so that we will be able to hear what our good Lord is trying to tell us.

Thanks for the carnival, Sarah. So nicely done, as usual.

God bless and hugs,
"Mom" Donna

How do you do it, my friend? You consistently put together flawless, seamless and lovely Carnivals. And since our kidddos are close in age, I suspect you often have to tweak your post when it's anything but quiet. Great job hosting once again!

How do I do it? BY THE GRACE OF GOD! Thanks for your kind words, all of you.

Now, grab a cup of tea, and, as Mom Donna has so wisely suggested, find yourself some more quiet in your busy, crazy, hectic day!

Beautifully put together! I need to ignore my children today and do some reading.

Thanks, Karen. And maybe you can just print off some posts to take with you as you go through your day. IGNORING your children might be a dangerous thing to do...

Beautifully done, Sarah! God bless you for your willingness to serve Him in such a wonderful way!

Jean, thank you. "My willingness to serve Him" - that makes me feel rather justified for the time I spend "playing" online during Carnival hosting weeks... Thanks for, once again, kind words and a new perspective on what I have (only partially jokingly) thought of as just a hobby...

Sarah,

(Using my "inside voice")Thank you for the time and efforts put into this week's carnival. It is a joy to read!

God Bless,
Jane

Thank you for the beautiful Carnival Sarah! So many great posts put together in such a great way! I always love to read your "take" on the Carnival and this week's quiet theme is perfect for this Lenten time of year!
