“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)    |
Happy to be on the Earth. Happy for the real and lasting birth. Happy for the joy, that the birth of Jesus brings. Happy for the happiness, that makes me sing and sing. Happy joy, happy gladness, happy fills the heart. Happy now, happy then, happy from the start. Happy to the store and back. Happy at my house. Happy for my daughter's smile. Happy for my spouse. Happy is a happy word. Happy's filled with light. Happy can't sing any blues. Happy sees no night. Happy runs around the world, playing in the sun. Happy paints each face a smile, restarts when it is done. Happy smiles at Christmas trees, exults at empty tombs, brings joy amid the afterbirth, new life from empty wombs. Happy in the happy dance. Happy in the song. Happy grasps your waiting hand, hope to sing along. Happy sips a cup of tea, smiles as day is new. Happy sits with friends awhile. That's me and that is you. Happy warms the winter's day. Happy swings 'mid springtime's blooms. Happy cools the pate in summer's heat. Happy dives in autumn's outdoor rooms. Happy now for earthly days. Happy e'er for lasting praise. Happy for the Creator rare. Happy to receive His care. Happy bows before the Joy he knows will always last. Happy serves great health to bring in merry-hearted task. Happy knows good happenings are why we happy are. Happy smiles, that living Joy lives well beyond each star. by Jay O'Toole on December 6th, 2019 |
