If there is any one truth I would gladly impress on the mind of a young Christian, it is just this, that God notices the most trivial act, accepts the poorest, most threadbare little service, listens to the coldest, feeblest petition, and gathers up with parental fondness all our fragmentary desires and attempts at good works. Oh if we could only begin to conceive how He loves us, what different creatures we should be!
--from Stepping Heavenward, by E. Prentiss, recommended to me by Christian sister K. Bailey of the Wrestling Mat.

Stepping Heavenward is a book to savor. As you will find, the pages are rich in buried treasure.
That's great... our God accepts grubby gifts! :)
