C.H. Spurgeon's Morning Devotional
Monday July 7, 2025

"Brethren, pray for us."-1 Thessalonians 5:25
    
    This one morning in the year we reserved to refresh the reader's memory upon the subject of prayer for ministers, and we do most earnestly implore every Christian household to grant the fervent request of the text first uttered by an apostle and now repeated by us. Brethren, our work is Solemnly momentous, involving weal or woe to thousands; we treat with souls for God on eternal business, and our word is either a savour of life unto life, or of death unto death. A very heavy responsibility rests upon us, and it will be no small mercy if at the last we be found clear of the blood of all men. As officers in Christ's army, we are the especial mark of the enmity of men and devils; they watch for our halting, and labour to take us by the heels. Our sacred calling involves us in temptations from which you are exempt, above all it too often draws us away from our personal enjoyment of truth into a ministerial and official consideration of it. We meet with many knotty cases, and our wits are at a non plus; we observe very sad backslidings, and our hearts are wounded; we see millions perishing, and our spirits sink. We wish to profit you by our preaching; we desire to be blest to your children; we long to be useful both to saints and sinners; therefore, dear friends, intercede for us with our God. Miserable men are we if we miss the aid of your prayers, but happy are we if we live in your supplications. You do not look to us but to our Master for spiritual blessings, and yet how many times has He given those blessings through His ministers; ask then, again and again, that we may be the earthen vessels into which the Lord may put the treasure of the gospel. We, the whole company of missionaries, ministers, city missionaries, and students, do in the name of Jesus beseech you "BRETHREN, PRAY FOR US."

randomly scrappy

I'm going to be participating in this blog hop come April so stay tuned there are so nice giveaways during this hop. 

Today we got a little dumped on as far as snow.  I spent about 2 hours this evening on snow removal duty...I'm telling it now and I know tomorrow will be even worse.  UGH!

tonight I thought it was sewing night but got mixed up ....  However, I sewed anyway...I got a new stitch-in-the-ditch foot for my sewing machine so I thought I'd try it out so I did some sewing since I was home alone.  Tomorrow night I'll probably finish the project.  I was feeling a little scrappy so just started a few scrappy mug rugs.


I started with a bunch of scrappy two inch strips  and just randomly sewed and cut and sewed and cut very randomly let me tell you...


Then I practiced with my new sewing foot doing stitch in the ditch....


This is what I ended up with...
squaring it up
fronts

front and back

front and back

Now tomorrow I'll have to finish it up with the binding.  I'm learning all kinds of new things.  Yeah for Me!
