"It is time to seek the Lord."-Hosea 10:12
    
    This month of April is said to derive its name from the Latin verb aperio, which signifies to open, because all the buds and blossoms are now opening, and we have arrived at the gates of the flowery year. Reader, if you are yet unsaved, may your heart, in accord with the universal awakening of nature, be opened to receive the Lord. Every blossoming flower warns you that it is time to seek the Lord; be not out of tune with nature, but let your heart bud and bloom with holy desires. Do you tell me that the warm blood of youth leaps in your veins? then, I entreat you, give your vigour to the Lord. It was my unspeakable happiness to be called in early youth, and I could fain praise the Lord every day for it. Salvation is priceless, let it come when it may, but oh! an early salvation has a double value in it. Young men and maidens, since you may perish ere you reach your prime, "It is time to seek the Lord." Ye who feel the first signs of decay, quicken your pace: that hollow cough, that hectic flush, are warnings which you must not trifle with; with you it is indeed time to seek the Lord. Did I observe a little grey mingled with your once luxurious tresses? Years are stealing on apace, and death is drawing nearer by hasty marches, let each return of spring arouse you to set your house in order. Dear reader, if you are now advanced in life, let me entreat and implore you to delay no longer. There is a day of grace for you now-be thankful for that, but it is a limited season and grows shorter every time that clock ticks. Here in this silent chamber, on this first night of another month, I speak to you as best I can by paper and ink, and from my inmost soul, as God's servant, I lay before you this warning, "It is time to seek the Lord." Slight not that work, it may be your last call from destruction, the final syllable from the lip of grace.

question(s) of the DAY!



We haven't done an Aloha Friday in awhile so thought today would be a good day there are two places that I'm going to post my AF to.  Each one asks a different question so here they are.   Leave a comment with your answer if you wish.....

First place is @ An Island Life  her question this week is....

When you’re short on time, what’s your favorite quick meal?

Answer:  Spaghetti  





What is your favorite summertime drink?

Answer:  Sun Tea




Don't forget about the FNSI tonight over @ Heidi's Don't know what FNSI is check out the details here.  I'm going to be sewing early today because of wedding tonight.  My plans are to sew from 1-3 but somewhere around the world it is night time and others will be sewing with me.

Now I must be off and get a little bike ride in ....



I don't know why because later this morning I have to walk a little ways to pick up my daughter's car from the mechanic.  BUT none-the-less flowers are needing a little drink of water at the church so I must ride my bike...OR walk to water them anyway I could use the exercise.  Happy day to you all.... and I hope you all decide to get some sewing in today.

    Quick meal on the run for me is a quick sandwich or a bowl of cereal. :) Favorite summertime drink is ice tea or iced green tea - if it's the happy hour sort of drink, pina colada or rum and coke. :)
