We live much of life amid unique choices. Joy is anchored in The One beyond our life. |
“There 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. . . .” ― Charles Spurgeon “Our anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows, but only empties today of its strengths.” ― C. H. Spurgeon “Hope itself is like a star- not to be seen in the sunshine of prosperity, and only to be discovered in the night of adversity.” ― Charles Haddon Spurgeon “If 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.” ― Charles Spurgeon “A Bible that’s falling apart usually belongs to someone who isn’t.” ― Charles Spurgeon “Visit many good books, but live in the Bible.” ― Charles Spurgeon “When your will is God's will, you will have your will.” ― Charles Spurgeon https://www.goodreads.com/author/quotes/2876959.Charles_Haddon_Spurgeon (Philippians 2:13, KJV) |
Bless my little snowman heart. I'm cuter than you know. Holidays can't fairly start without cold to make me grow. "Our Daddy was a famous guy. His hat caused dancing joy. 'Happy Birthday!' His reply when made a live snow toy." "Cuteness. We have much to spare, and the sweetest cavities are made by looking. Please, don't stare or we will quickly freeze." "Crimson hats are made of fluff. Our hairlines watered down. We're really cute, but not so tough. We're the talk of our hometown." "We're sleepy babies in the snow, mischief etched on every face. Winter's months we only know. Summer's toads our puddles grace." I'm thinking of a number now 'tween one and four. Oh, please, choose one. I am your best. I'll take a bow. What sweetness! Always full of fun! My thinking cap, so red, it's plain. I'm playful through and through. I have to dance when in the rain. My cuteness is what's due. I cannot hear an unkind word. I think about the best. My cuteness is not ever blurred. I'm one, who is quite blest. Oh, God, I thank you for my life. I'm really loving You. When I am older make my wife a cute one through and through. We can't be bored by the cutest snow. Their faces are so sweet, but the boards behind them never know this cuteness factor treat. by Jay O’Toole on October 26th, 2023 |
