Great Quotes

It is not the multitude of hard duties, it is not constraint and contention that advance us in our Christian course. On the contrary, it is the yielding of our wills without restriction and without choice, to tread cheerfully every day in the path in which Providence leads us, to seek nothing, to be discouraged by nothing, to see our duty in the present moment, to trust all else without reserve to the will and power of God.
-Fenelon

Whatsoever, wheresoever, whensoever You please!
-R.M. M’Cheyne

The trees of the Lord are full of sap. Psalm 104:16

Without sap the tree cannot flourish or even exist. Vitality is essential to a Christian. There must be life—a vital principle infused into us by God the Holy Spirit—or we cannot be trees of the Lord. What a secret thing the sap is! The roots go searching through the soil, but we cannot see them transform the mineral into the vegetable. This work is done down in the dark. Our root is Christ Jesus, and our life is hid in Him. This is the secret of the Lord. In the Christian, the divine life is always full of energy.
-C.H. Spurgeon

Nice one! A sermon, no less. I will remember this to encourage, remind & instruct others.
Thank you

It's the simple things we often miss too, when we have lost a spouse. Who will tell me what is out of place, if there is lipstick on my teeth, if my hair is evenly brushed? Who will zip my dress?? I am so glad I have God to depend on for the other stuff. I have learned to choose my battles. Lipstick on my teeth will not destroy me and it has taught me to laugh at myself. Now I see what a big job my husband had keeping up with me. He did it flawlessly. I will love him and miss him forever. But I am so glad I am not alone.
