Notes of Thanksgiving~

January 28, 2010


Let us ask God to draw music lines upon our hearts so that in every thing He gives, and everything He takes away-we can, by His grace, put on them notes of thanksgiving, and say to the Lord, with David,



"Every day will I bless Thee; and I will praise Thy name for ever and ever!"

Spurgeon ~paraphrased

Problem Solved?

This is the culprit. Actually he's only 1 of the many who continue to steal bird seed. We decided to get serious... we bought a squirrel bluffer. No more seed little squirrels!! (Or so we pray!)





Plead His Promises!


January 20, 2010


“God’s promises were never meant to be thrown aside as waste paper; he intended that they should be used. God’s gold is not miser’s money, but is minted to be traded with. Nothing pleases our Lord better than to see his promises put in circulation; he loves to see his children bring them up to him, and say, Lord, do as thou hast said. We glorify God when we plead his promises.”

- Charles Spurgeon

Locks of Love!!

January 14, 2010


Yesterday was a big day for Miri and yes for Mom :). She has been growing her hair for several years now and when she heard about Locks of Love she decided someday she'd like to donate her hair to a child suffering from hair loss.

The amount of work her hair requires coupled with several recent teary combings- we decided to hurry up donation day!!

Below are the pics of Miri's special day!

The Voice of God

January 11, 2010


Daily choice: Will I listen to the loud, large voice of the world or the still, small voice of God in His word?
Let's be still and know Him!!

You never let go...

There is no love . . .
so gentle,
so patient,
so enduring,
as Christ's love.

Oh, my soul
Overflows
Oh, what love, oh, what love
Oh, my soul
Fills with hope
Perfect love that never lets go

Oh, what love, oh, what love
Oh, what love, oh, what love
In joy and pain
In sun and rain
You're the same
Oh, You never let go!

“In our Christian pilgrimage it is well, for the most part, to be looking forward. Forward lies the crown—and onward is the goal. Whether it is for hope, for joy, for consolation, or for the inspiring of our love—the future must, after all, be the grand object of the eye of faith.

Looking into the future, the Christian sees sin cast out, the body of sin and death destroyed, the soul made perfect, and fit to be a partaker of eternal glory. Looking further yet, the believer’s enlightened eye can see death’s river passed. He sees himself enter within the pearly gates, hailed as more than conqueror, crowned by the hand of Christ, embraced in the arms of Jesus, glorified with Him, and made to sit together with Him on His throne.” —Charles Spurgeon Happy New Year!
