Thirty years ago on this date, 15
April 1983, Corrie Ten Boom passed away on that day. Surprisingly, she was also
born on 15 April 1892. In loving memory of her, I will post one of her
Christian quotes.
QUOTE: “Worry does not empty
tomorrow of its sorrow, it empties today of its strength.”
As
Corrie ten Boom once wrote, “Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow, it
empties today of its strength.” There’s a better way. We can forget the things behind and
spend our energies straining toward what is ahead.

“Be united with other Christians. A wall with loose bricks is no good. The bricks must be cemented together.” – Corrie Ten Boom [PHOTO SOURCE: https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=1088639233307995&set=a.563324335839490] https://lutherandcalvinbrigade914.blogspot.com/2013/04/in-loving-memory-of-corrie-ten-boom-15.html |
AUTHOR: Corrie
ten Boom A.K.A Cornelia "Corrie" ten Boom (Amsterdam, The Netherlands April 15, 1892 – Orange,
California, April 15, 1983) was a Dutch Christian, who with her father and
other family members helped many Jews escape the Nazi Holocaust during World
War II. Her family was arrested due to an informant in 1944, and her father
died 10 days later at Scheveningen prison. A sister, brother and nephew were
released, but Corrie ten Boom and her sister Betsie were sent to Ravensbruck
concentration camp, where Betsie died. Ten Boom wrote many books and spoke
frequently in the post-war years about her experiences. She also aided
Holocaust survivors in the Netherlands. Her autobiography, The Hiding Place(1971) was later adapted as a film of the same name in 1975 and starred
Jeannette Clift as ten Boom.
