The impression that a praying mother leaves upon her children is life-long. Perhaps when you are dead and gone your prayer will be answered.
 Dwight L. Moody
It may be that at this moment every battlement of heaven is alive with the redeemed. There is a sainted mother watching for her daughter. Have you no response to that long hushed voice which has prayed for you so often? And for you, young man, are there no voices there that have prayed for you? And are there none whom you promised once to meet again, if not on earth, in heaven?
 Dwight L. Moody

 Dwight L. Moody
No one can sum up all God is able to accomplish through one solitary life, wholly yielded, adjusted, and obedient to Him.
