Quotes
-
Reverend Robert Alden : [to Laura] Are you all right, child?
Laura Ingalls : I wanted to ask you a question.
Reverend Robert Alden : Well, certainly. Come sit down, right here by me. Now, what question?
Laura Ingalls : It's about the sermon today.
Reverend Robert Alden : Well, I'm happy to hear you were listening. I'm afraid some folks don't.
Laura Ingalls : What can God do?
Reverend Robert Alden : [pause] I don't think I know what you mean.
Laura Ingalls : Well, you said that God can make all things possible.
Reverend Robert Alden : Yes, that's right.
Laura Ingalls : Like what things? You mean miracles?
Reverend Robert Alden : Yes, sometimes even miracles.
Laura Ingalls : How could you get a miracle?
Reverend Robert Alden : Well, Laura, there's no way to guarantee that.
Laura Ingalls : But there would be a chance if you prayed hard enough.
Reverend Robert Alden : Yes, if you prayed really, really hard. You see, the closer you are to God, the more likely He is to listen.
Laura Ingalls : The closer you are...
Reverend Robert Alden : That's right.
Laura Ingalls : Thank you, Reverend Alden.
