I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields, that it kisses them so gently? And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says, "Go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again." - Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland

A Thought About Thankfulness
So, conversely, complaining could be said to be a powerful witness about two beliefs hidden in our hearts: 1.) We don't believe God's purpose is being worked out, which means our God is not all powerful. 2.) We have taken it upon ourselves to interpret what God's purpose is, subjected this purpose to our own… Continue reading A Thought About Thankfulness
To love with all
Fall break means more time for reading! This week I started Dr. Helen Roseveare's book 'Living Sacrifice'. In the preface, Dr. Roseveare expounds on what it means to be "a living sacrifice" (Romans 12) and show love for God (John 14:21). At the end, she writes thoughtfully about what it means to love God with… Continue reading To love with all
No accident
One of my favorite quotes from my summer re-reading of 'Story of a Pocket Bible' by George Sargent (1857): Call it not accident, however. Reader, in the universal government of Him who, while he guides the destinies of kingdoms and worlds, yet watches the fall of a sparrow, accident is not known.

Full of complaining? Pray to the Lord to rinse that black stuff out of your mouth, for it will little… Continue reading Spurgeon on Prayer
Discerning Love
From "Gleanings from Paul":
Interruptions
"The great thing is, if one can, is to stop regarding all the unpleasant things as interruptions of one's 'own' or 'real' life. The truth is of course that what one calls the interruptions are precisely one's real life -- the life God is sending one day by day: what one calls one's 'real life'… Continue reading Interruptions
Charles Spurgeon: All Spiritual Blessings
It's been a while since I posted a Spurgeon lunch reading. It's also been a while since I had time to read Spurgeon during lunch... Anyway, this reading was such a blessing to me that I wanted to pass it along. Morning, May 9 "Who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings." -- Ephesians 1:3… Continue reading Charles Spurgeon: All Spiritual Blessings
