Action Quote by Karl Edward Wagner
“We cannot escape from our daily routine, because it will go with us wherever we go… God must be sought and found in the things of our world. By regarding our daily duties as something performed for the honour and glory of God, we can convert what was hitherto soul-killing monotony, to a living worship of God in all our actions. Everyday life must become itself our prayer.”
