 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)    |
The fabric of our lives seems stretched. Elastically, we're thin. The worry on our faces etched. The heart is made of tin. The Christmas season now is past. We wonder what to do, awaiting Judgment, Sin has cast when this short life is through. "A Christmas Moment" means great peace at least for me I'd say. These quiet minutes bring release at ending of the day. To hear this nothing, then the cars, while sitting in the cold is gentle 'fore we see the stars as last light beams are told. But when the Dark forever falls on those, who have no hope, they no more hear the Master's Calls. Thus past, can't help them cope. The Christmas Moments presently known are here when Life is giv'n. Embraced the Gift, that once was sown can evermore be livin'. The Master calls the ones He chose, who now can come received. The children of that Christ are those, who no more need be grieved. Once peace with God is throughly weaved the peace of God we know, These Christmas Moments simmer, steeped, while times of JOY can grow. We sense these Christmas Moments oft throughout each coming year to lift our hearts to the highest loft, protecting us from fear. A Christmas Moment needs one thing, and that is focused time, alone with He, Who makes hearts sing, Whose Presence is Sublime. by Jay O’Toole on December 29th, 2025    |
