We were made to be human beings here, and when people try to be anything else, they generally get into some sort of scrapes.

Of all hateful occupations, housekeeping is to my mind the most hateful.

I shall be glad to see thee back, daughter, for I miss thee dreadfully. I wish I did not! I was taking a nap in my chair today, and I thought I heard thee rustling thy papers, and I looked over at thy table expecting to see thee, and alas! thee was not there, and it was dreadful.

If our hearts are full of our own wretched "I ams" we will have no ears to hear His glorious, soul-satisfying "I Am."

Nothing can separate you from His love, absolutely nothing, neither death nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature... We do not need to beg Him to bless us, He simply cannot help it. Therefore God is enough! God is enough for time, God is enough for eternity. God is enough!

I wonder how many of our tombstones will have to be inscribed with the epitaph 'Died of too many meetings'?

There is no happiness in the world equal to the happiness of being good.
