C.H. Spurgeon's Morning Devotional

"Whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil."-Proverbs 1:33
    
    Divine love is rendered conspicuous when it I shines in the midst of judgments. Fair is that lone star which smiles through the rifts of the thunder clouds; bright is the oasis which blooms in the wilderness of sand; so fair and so bright is love in the midst of wrath. When the Israelites provoked the Most High by their continued idolatry, He punished them by withholding both dew and rain, so that their land was visited by a sore famine; but while He did this, He took care that His own chosen ones should be secure. If all other brooks are dry, yet shall there be one reserved for Elijah; and when that fails, God shall still preserve for him a place of sustenance; nay, not only so, the Lord had not simply one "Elijah," but He had a remnant according to the election of grace, who were hidden by fifties in a cave, and though the whole land was subject to famine, yet these fifties in the cave were fed, and fed from Ahab's table too by His faithful, God-fearing steward, Obadiah. Let us from this draw the inference, that come what may, God's people are safe. Let convulsions shake the solid earth, let the skies themselves be rent in twain, yet amid the wreck of worlds the believer shall be as secure as in the calmest hour of rest. If God cannot save His people under heaven, He will save them in heaven. If the world becomes too hot to hold them, then heaven shall be the place of their reception and their safety. Be ye then confident, when ye hear of wars, and rumours of wars. Let no agitation distress you, but be quiet from fear of evil. Whatsoever cometh upon the earth, you, beneath the broad wings of Jehovah, shall be secure. Stay yourself upon His promise; rest in His faithfulness, and bid defiance to the blackest future, for there is nothing in it direful for you. Your sole concern should be to show forth to the world the blessedness of hearkening to the voice of wisdom.

2014 Spool Challenge.....and more....

2014 Spool Challenge
Back in January I posted about a spool Challenge that was made and I joined in the fun to see how many thread spools I'd empty in a year.  You can check out the details here.  Sew all year I've been saving my empty spools and here is the results.....


Not too many...only 6.  Someone needs to get busy if they want to beat 6 in 2015. 

Busy I've been already in 2015.  2nd day and I was able to start and finish a project.  Pretty good odds if I do say so myself. 

Today, I made a rice bag for my hubby.  He had shoulder surgery back in August and the therapist told him in Dec. to try using a rice bag.  Sew we went in search for a pattern and found one @ Sew She Can Sew....

The whole month of December he was after me to make him one, but since the Christmas tree takes over my sewing center in December I was out of commission for a month.  Yesterday the tree came down and sewing center was reestablished once again.  Yeah!!!  Sew today we sewed.

It took me a few hours but it was started and completed in one day.  Hubby used it this evening and loves it.  Says it worked much better than the heating pad.  Yeah! Me. 

Now for some sneek views of things to come.....
I have some projects that have been started and need to get busy working towards completion. 


Pictured above is a quilt started, a sewing machine cover stared and paper pieces from a pattern that I was helping test for fabric yardage.  Also my rice bag strips are in picture.  As you can see I have lots of irons in the pot.  Sew I have entered the 2015 Finishes challenge for Jan.
