“In our whole life melody the music is broken off here and there by rests, and we foolishly think we have come to the end of time. God sends a time of forced leisure, a time of sickness and disappointed plans, and makes a sudden pause in the hymns of our lives, and we lament that our voice must be silent and our part missing in the music which ever goes up to the ear of our Creator. Not without design does God write the music of our lives. Be it ours to learn the time and not be dismayed at the rests. If we look up, God will beat the time for us.” IfsThinkingWritingLooksDoeEndsWholeLife IsVoiceChristianityOur LivesPlansMissingDesignBrokenMusic IsBeatsEarsSilentCreatorWhole LifeGods WillLook UpSicknessMelodyDisappointedLeisurePausesEnd TimesHere And ThereHymnsLamentDismayed Author:John Ruskin

“Every one ought to study the Bible with two ends in view: his own growth in knowledge and grace, and passing it on to others. We ought to have four ears,- two for ourselves, and two for other people. My Bible is worth a good deal to me because I have so many passages marked that, if I am called upon to speak at any time, I am ready. We ought to be prepared to pass around heavenly thoughts and truths, just as we do the coin of the realm.” PeopleIfsTwoEndsChristianSpeakGrowthViewsDealsStudyGraceFourReadyOughtEarsPreparedPassingPassingsRealmsHeavenlyPassagesBe PreparedCoinsPassing It Book:Talks to Christians Source: Talks to Christians
“Dog love is not the special realm of childhood or of boyhood, no matter what the movies keep telling us.
