Marilynne Robinson Quotes About Miracles

Quotes about: Miracles

• I’m writing this in part to tell you that if you ever wonder what you’ve done in your life, and everyone does wonder sooner or later, you have been God’s grace to me, a miracle, something more than a miracle.

If only I had the words to tell you.
