C.H. Spurgeon's Morning Devotional

"Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the eventide."-Genesis 24:63
    
    Very admirable was his occupation. If those who spend so many hours in idle company, light reading, and useless pastimes, could learn wisdom, they would find more profitable society and more interesting engagements in meditation than in the vanities which now have such charms for them. We should all know more, live nearer to God, and grow in grace, if we were more alone. Meditation chews the cud and extracts the real nutriment from the mental food gathered elsewhere. When Jesus is the theme, meditation is sweet indeed. Isaac found Rebecca while engaged in private musings; many others have found their best beloved there.
    
    Very admirable was the choice of place. In the field we have a study hung round with texts for thought. From the cedar to the hyssop, from the soaring eagle down to the chirping grasshopper, from the blue expanse of heaven to a drop of dew, all things are full of teaching, and when the eye is divinely opened, that teaching flashes upon the mind far more vividly than from written books. Our little rooms are neither so healthy, so suggestive, so agreeable, or so inspiring as the fields. Let us count nothing common or unclean, but feel that all created things point to their Maker, and the field will at once be hallowed.
    
    Very admirable was the season. The season of sunset as it draws a veil over the day, befits that repose of the soul when earthborn cares yield to the joys of heavenly communion. The glory of the setting sun excites our wonder, and the solemnity of approaching night awakens our awe. If the business of this day will permit it, it will be well, dear reader, if you can spare an hour to walk in the field at eventide, but if not, the Lord is in the town too, and will meet with thee in thy chamber or in the crowded street. Let thy heart go forth to meet Him.

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.
