Compare yourself with those who on the Lord’s Day hear nothing except the dismal sound of the world. What a privilege it is for you to hear the proclamation of the gospel!

Quote of the Week:  Brooks

DateSaturday, December 13, 2008 at 08:23AM

Remember that it is not hasty reading, but serious meditation on holy and heavenly truths, that makes them prove sweet and profitable to the soul. It is not the mere touching of the flower by the bee that gathers honey, but her abiding for a time on the flower that draws out the sweet. It is not he that reads most, but he that meditates most, that will prove to be the choicest, sweetest, wisest and strongest Christian.

Hi Kim-
I love this quote....it's one of my favourites. I got it from the book 'Devotions from the puritans' but couldn't find it when I went to look it up again, as I'd be interested to know the source of it!

Hope you are well!...I haven't been reading blogs for a wee while...
