C.H. Spurgeon's Evening Devotional

"My Beloved is mine, and I am His: He feedeth among the lilies. Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, turn, my Beloved, and be Thou like a roe or a young hart upon the mountains of Bether."-Song of Solomon 2:16, 17
    
    Surely if there be a happy verse in the Bible it is this-"My Beloved is mine, and I am His." So peaceful, so full of assurance, so overrunning with happiness and contentment is it, that it might well have been written by the same hand which penned the twenty-third Psalm. Yet though the prospect is exceeding fair and lovely-earth cannot show its superior-it is not entirely a sunlit landscape. There is a cloud in the sky which casts a shadow over the scene. Listen, "Until the day break, and the shadows flee away."
    
    There is a word, too, about the "mountains of Bether," or, "the mountains of division," and to our love, anything like division is bitterness. Beloved, this may be your present state of mind; you do not doubt your salvation; you know that Christ is yours, but you are not feasting with Him. You understand your vital interest in Him, so that you have no shadow of a doubt of your being His, and of His being yours, but still His left hand is not under your head, nor doth His right hand embrace you. A shade of sadness is cast over your heart, perhaps by affliction, certainly by the temporary absence of your Lord, so even while exclaiming, "I am His," you are forced to take to your knees, and to pray, "Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, turn, my Beloved."
    
    "Where is He?" asks the soul. And the answer comes, "He feedeth among the lilies." If we would find Christ, we must get into communion with His people, we must come to the ordinances with His saints. Oh, for an evening glimpse of Him! Oh, to sup with Him to-night!

shoes, shoes, shoes

 I can't believe it has been two months since I posted to be watching for this review.  I guess the holidays, Thanksgiving and Christmas, just put me behind.  Any way I finally chose my item from the 200+ CSN stores.

Yep, I chose another pair of shoes.  The last pair I ordered and put on review I lost.  Well, not really lost they were just a tish big so my daughter claimed them.  Since I had already thrown my old navy shoes away I had to replace them.   It is so hard to know the correct size when you buy shoes on-line, but these do fit better than the first navy pair I ordered.  It was so hard to decide what to get and I wanted to wait and see what might be under the Christmas tree so I waited.  It was worth the wait.   Here are the shoes I picked....

 

My shoes here are Easy Street - Tidal in Navy   I just love them.  They come in about 8 different colors, many sizes from ladies size 5 up to 12 with some half sizes, and 4 different widths.  They are so classy looking.  I told my daughter that I was going to get shoes and this time if they didn't fit she wasn't getting them I was going to try the CSN store's return and see how it worked since I haven't tried out that feature yet.  However, they fit nicely so I won't be returning them.  Now, I'm in need of some taupe shoes so I may have to check into what they have in that color.  The CSN store has such a wide variety of categories to shop from, it is so unreal, you don't have to think just shoes.  And you can shop from home or office.  I think I have a one track mind because I'm in such dire need of new shoes. Mom usually goes without so others can have. Besides I just love the shoes that the CSN store has.  You can check out their shoe store here.  Or you can find just about anything for your home at an of the  200+ CSN stores.  They have Home Decor, Housewares, Office/home furniture departments and more.  Why not get started today.
