We live much of life amid unique choices. Joy is anchored in The One beyond our life.
โ€œThere are times when solitude is better than society, and silence is wiser than speech. We should be better Christians if we were more alone, waiting upon God, and gathering through meditation on His Word spiritual strength for labour in his service. We ought to muse upon the things of God, because we thus get the real nutriment out of them. . . . Why is it that some Christians, although they hear many sermons, make but slow advances in the divine life? Because they neglect their closets, and do not thoughtfully meditate on God's Word. They love the wheat, but they do not grind it; they would have the corn, but they will not go forth into the fields to gather it; the fruit hangs upon the tree, but they will not pluck it; the water flows at their feet, but they will not stoop to drink it. From such folly deliver us, O Lord. . . .โ€
โ€• Charles Spurgeon


โ€œOur anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows, but only empties today of its strengths.โ€
โ€• C. H. Spurgeon


โ€œHope itself is like a star- not to be seen in the sunshine of prosperity, and only to be discovered in the night of adversity.โ€
โ€• Charles Haddon Spurgeon


โ€œIf sinners be damned, at least let them leap to Hell over our dead bodies. And if they perish, let them perish with our arms wrapped about their knees, imploring them to stay. If Hell must be filled, let it be filled in the teeth of our exertions, and let not one go unwarned and unprayed for.โ€
โ€• Charles Spurgeon


โ€œA Bible thatโ€™s falling apart usually belongs to someone who isnโ€™t.โ€
โ€• Charles Spurgeon


โ€œVisit many good books, but live in the Bible.โ€
โ€• Charles Spurgeon


โ€œWhen your will is God's will, you will have your will.โ€
โ€• Charles Spurgeon

The polar vortex shifts about
to bring us springtime cold.
The pollen seeds have burst on out.
A story doth unfold.

The time is now when blooms abound,
but frost is at the door.
How will the plants find life, rebound
when winter's temps are more?

Will frozen blooms need to bloom, again?
Will pollen cover us twice?
How will the growing months begin?
Will harvest be as nice?

We've left our comfort zone it seems
as plants and humans reel
before the cold our great Lord deems
our lesson best we feel.

The Lord of Glory speaks in words,
in life, in the harshest tones
when humans have His Truths oft spurned,
repenting in their groans.

But there is grace when we do turn
with hope for those in need.
Unusual weather makes us learn
when we forget to read.

The coldest blast will soon be gone.
Our hearts will joy and dance.
The days of greenness will be won
for summer's growing plants.
