For the Lord Is Good; His Mercy Is Everlasting

Dear Blog Visitors:

Since east of Eden, the sands of time are stealing away, and the world spiraling down to its eventide. While the promise of entering His rest is to come, His ceaseless fountain of eternal riches is still available for all.

Because the holy God does not lie. By His oath and promise, He continues to watch over His sheep. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow His people, all the days of their lives, and they shall dwell in the house of the LORD forever. So it is the apostle Paul concludes, “to live is Christ, and to die is gain” (Philippians 1:21).

On Thanksgiving Day, the object of our thankful remembrance, surely, must be Christ’s grace and mercy. It is He who ransomed and redeemed us from the pit of destruction, set us in His pasture green, and gave us a new song of praise to God.

Who Said November’s Face Was Grim?

Who said November's face was grim? 
Who said her voice was harsh and sad? 
I heard her sing in wood paths dim, 
I met her on the shore so glad, 
So smiling, I could kiss her feet! 
There never was a month so sweet.
