Sabbath Keeping

 ~ Maiden Spring ~

"Call to me and I will answer you, 

and show you great and mighty things, 

which you do not know." 

~ Jeremiah 33:3 ~

"All who call on God in true faith, earnestly from the heart, will certainly be heard, and will receive what they have asked and desires, although not in the hour or in the measure, or the very thing which they ask. Yet they will obtain something greater and more glorious than they had dared to ask."

~ Martin Luther ~

"Men do not decide their future. 

They decide their habits and their habits decide their future."

~ Unknown ~

"The Bible parable says that while men slept, the enemy sowed tares among the wheat. A boy who rises at 4:30 to deliver papers is considered a go-getter, but to urge our young people to rise at 5:30 to pray is considered fanaticism. We must once again wear the harness of discipline. There is no other way. ~ Leonard Ravenhill ~

"Unless you have given up your self to Him 

you will not have a real self."

~ C. S. Lewis ~

"Plant a word in the mind, and you will reap an act. Plant the act and you will reap a habit. Plant a habit and you will reap a character. Plant a character and you will reap a nature. Plant a nature and you will reap a destiny." ~ unknown ~




"God did not direct His call to Isaiah— Isaiah overheard God saying, ". . . who will go for Us?" The call of God is not just for a select few but for everyone. Whether I hear God’s call or not depends on the condition of my ears, and exactly what I hear depends upon my spiritual attitude."
~ Oswald Chambers ~


"If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land."  ~ II Chronicles 7:14 ~

"The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting, it has been found difficult and left untried."

~ G. K. Chesterton ~

"The Lord is near to all who call on Him, 

to all who call on Him in truth."

~ Psalm 145:18 ~

Personal note: many thanks to everyone who has tucked us into prayer over these last few months. We have found a place to live and Dave began radiation and chemo treatment this past week and is doing well. One of his doctors said, "I expect you (Dave) to do well" and that's our prayer, hope and expectation. We'll be here, receiving treatment, a couple of months but have our wonderful house and farm sitter living at the farm and our wonderful neighbors go by throughout the day to make sure everyone is doing well. Please bear with me as I, probably, won't be a good blogger or visitor as my focus is on Dave and tending to him. Truly, your prayers are appreciated, welcomed and wanted. God bless you all as well as our neighbors and our house sitter; without them, this story would have a far different beginning.

Blessings ~ calling upon God ~  good neighbors ~ kind friends ~ loving family ~ faith ~ hope ~ love ~ miracles ~

Merry Christmas,
