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

My precious friend, and dear, dear dog.
So many years with us.
Today, we drank the bitter grog
of Death's untimely thus.

We left you on the vet's cold bier,
so still in nevermore.
Now, wet my eyes from many a tear
in memories of before.

Your faithfulness to each of us
is treasured in our hearts.
Our tousled thoughts are in a muss,
rememb'ring all our starts.

Dear "Bruhni Bell," you'll e'er be missed,
until we meet, again,
if that's God's Will in lasting Bliss
as everlasting friends.

"Drink my potent liquid gift,
that thine eyes be clear.
Let me all thy spirit lift,
take away thy fear.


"Great the day of shouldered weight.
Great thy hopefulness.
Sip the smokey cup, our date.
Cornered table bless.


"Moments drinking fluid, blond
nestle thy repose.
Skip thy mind-rocks on this pond.
Rippled joys are those.


"Wakefulness of frothy top
guides victorious day.
Step by step 'til need thee stop.
Bliss takes thee away.


"Cup of coffee, sipping friend,
cream and sugar meet.
Wondrous shop where these all blend.
Good this glad retreat.
"
