THOUGHTS

What makes me smile?

Looking out the window

and watching grandchildren's antics.

Social distancing, does not mean distancing from God.

"Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you."

Does He look at you and smile?

"Be persuaded, timid soul, 

that He has loved you too much to cease."

Fenelon

Another one of my  favorite quotes

"Some things are too beautiful for words,

the evening sky at dusk

the call of geese upon the sky,

the sound of crickets deep in the night;

Some things are too holy for words,

the way of God in the affairs of man,

the love that fills a child's heart,

the peace that passes understanding;

Some things are too wonderful to ponder,

the light of day breaking forth from the darkness,

the eyes of God, running to and fro on the earth,

searching for those who look for Him,

the knowledge deep within that God is love

and in Him is no darkness at all.

Some things are to beautiful,

some things are too holy,

Some things are too wonderful for words."

The Pen of the Wayfarer

More from Colonel Brengle's "The Way of Holiness"

"4.  You must think it is for you now.  It is astonishing how sinners wish to put off the time of salvation, and it is even more astonishing how saved people put off seeking a clean heart until some other time.  The devil and their evil hearts of unbelief keep saying, 'Some time, but not just now.'  But the dear Lord in mercy keeps whispering, 'Behold, now is the accepted time.  Behold, now is the day of salvation.'  'Today, if ye will hear His voice, harden not your hearts.'  Nothing grieves the Holy Spirit and hardens the heart like this delay of unbelief."
