When a man is wrapped up in himself he makes a pretty small package. When everything we receive from Him is received and prized as fruit and pledge of His covenant love, then His bounties, instead of being set up as rivals and idols to draw our heart from him, awaken us to fresh exercises of gratitude and furnish us with fresh motives of cheerful obedience every hour. John Newton Do not regret growing older. It's a privilege denied to many. Yesterday is a canceled check.
Tomorrow is a promissory note.
Today is the only cash you have. Spend it wisely. A Prayer for Genealogists Lord, help me dig into the past And sift the sands of time That I might find the roots that made This family tree of mine. Lord, help me trace the ancient roads On which my fathers trod, And led them through so many lands To find our present sod. Lord, help me find an ancient book or dusty manuscript, That's safely hidden now away in some forgotten crypt.
