QUOTE OF THE WEEK

All the purposes of man have been defeated, but not the purposes of God. The promises of man may be broken—many of them are made to be broken—but the promises of God shall all be fulfilled. He is a promise-maker, but He never was a promise-breaker; He is a promise-keeping God, and every one of His people shall prove it to be so. This is my grateful, personal confidence, "The Lord will perfect that which concerneth me"—unworthy me, lost and ruined me. 

Charles Spurgeon, A Defense of Calvinism

Children's Poetry Month: I Never Saw a Moor

DateTuesday, February 27, 2007 at 07:06AM

Children's Poetry Month is winding down, so I thought I'd add another poem today.  It harmonizes with my morning thoughts of faith and confidence.  Sam had to recite this poem in school a few years ago and I learned it right along with him.  It didn't take long to memorize; it's just a few short lines.  I like it.  I hope you do, too.

I Never Saw a Moor

I never saw a moor
I never saw the sea;
Yet I know how the heather looks,
And what a wave must be.

I never spoke with God,
Nor visited in Heaven;
Yet certain am I of the spot
As if the chart were given.

Emily Dickinson
