SO GOOD QUOTES

“Abba Doulas said ‘One day when we were walking beside the sea I was thirsty and I said to Abba Bessarion, “Father, I am very thirsty.” He said a prayer and said to me, “Drink some of the sea water.” The water tasted sweet when I drank some. I even poured some into the leather bottle for fear of being thirsty later on. Seeing this, the old man asked me why I was taking some. I said to him, “Forgive me, it is for the fear of being thirsty later on.” Then the old man said, “God is here, God is there, God is everywhere.”
