Today’s Quote Every evening, let your heart bring home a memory of God’s mercies. — Charles Spurgeon

Spurgeon’s Daily Help Blessed Lord Jesus, stay with me, reveal Yourself to me, and remain with me through the night, so that when I wake up, I’ll still be with You. I noticed that the dove brought back an olive leaf, a sign of what had happened that day and a promise of what was to come. Do I have any good memories to bring

home? Any signs of Your loving-kindness yet to come? Yes, my Lord, I offer You my heartfelt thanks for Your mercies, which are new every morning and fresh every evening. Now, I pray, reach out Your hand and take Your dove into Your heart. Public domain content from Daily Help by Charles Spurgeon.

The Spurgeon Birthday Book July 26 Thanksgiving isn’t just for the eloquent, because even those who struggle to find words can give thanks. It’s not just for the rich, because the widow who gave two small coins offered genuine thanks. The smoldering wick can give thanks that it’s not snuffed

out, and the bruised reed can give thanks that it’s not broken. Even the silent can give thanks; their smiles can be a psalm, and the dying can give thanks as their peaceful expressions become a hymn. Public domain content from The Spurgeon Birthday Book by Charles Spurgeon
