 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)    |
Rememb'ring those, who worthy lived to save this godly land, we call to mind the ways revived they hope to ever stand. These ones, who left their earthly all upon the battlefield had answered once, great Freedom's Call. To honor Life, they'd yield. They gave their oath to fight our foes, domestic and abroad, until someone need tag their toes, whose souls, then stood 'fore God. In these long days, that theirs besmudge, we need them here, again, to help defeat lost minds and judge these cockles filled with sin. They gave their all, but we give what? They lived and died, so blest, but do we live yet half of that, surmounting smallest test? "Providing for the common defense" these stalwart men and maids, "securing Liberty" convinced by final courage laid. https://www.archives.gov/founding-docs/constitution-transcript "Now, we the people of this land, United States, we're sure in order, that they'd understand." The fight we long endured. "We joined toge'er more perfectly, established Justice best, insured our homes' tranquility," and met each daily test. "Provided we a joint defense, promoted good for all, secured our Freedom without wince, so blest by Future's Call." "We liberated self, and souls within our earthly care, ordaining this great document, whole, to get from here to there." "The Constitution of the States, United in our land, establish we on every plate, America, the grand." https://www.archives.gov/founding-docs/constitution-transcript "We paid for Freedom with our lives. Remember on this day. This gift is yours. Forever thrive. Protect it as you may." ----------------------------------- We WILL always remember. Blessed Memorial Day 2021 by Jay O’Toole on May 31st, 2021 |
