“Man finds it hard to get what he wants, because he does not want the best. God finds it hard to give, because He would give the best and man will not take it.”

Gotta love George [Mac]Donald. (He’s a Mac, not a Mc!)
^ Oops…thanks. ;-)
Yay fixed. He’s a good writer, though to be able to understand you usually have to read the modernized versions. I’ve read nearly ten of his books I think?
Great quote, and lovely picture! Did you take the picture, Hannah?!
I love George MacDonald and his insights!
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, Rachel…yes, I took that picture earlier this year when my grandma’s tree in the backyard was blooming. :)
Beautiful picture, Hannah, and I what a challenging quote. Makes one stop and think — how I don’t want that in my life, but that I would truly want God’s best, in God’s timing, in God’s way.
And what a blessing to spend some time together the other night! May God abudantly bless you for being a blessing to so many people, myself included. (((hugs)))
Make me number 4 for loving the George MacDonald statement, and number 7 to comment. ;) That statement is so true, and emphasized so well with your lovely photography!
You’re a good photographer, Hannah!;-)
