“… for dear to our hearts is our home, although it be the humblest cottage, or the scantiest garret; and dearer far is our blessed God, in whom we live, and move, and have our being. It is at home that we feel safe: we shut the world out and dwell in quiet security. So when we are with our God we ‘fear no evil.’ He is our shelter and retreat, our abiding refuge. At home, we take our rest; it is there we find repose after the fatigue and toil of the day.”
-C.H. Spurgeon
Oh my, my heart slurps that up as if I am thirsty. And I guess I am. Thank you, Gretchen, for sharing those life refreshing words. xo

Spurgeon is a daily favorite of mine. Looking forward to seeing him in heaven. Happy almost first day of Spring! I’m excited…the snow is melting.

“Home is where we find repose after the fatigue and toil of the day.” Oh yes! Home is the place from which we go out into the world, and the place to which we return for refreshment. And above all, God is our home. Thank you!
