C.H. Spurgeon's Morning Devotional

"Who giveth us richly all things to enjoy."-1 Timothy 6:17
    
    Our Lord Jesus is ever giving, and does not for a solitary instant withdraw His hand. As long as there is a vessel of grace not yet full to the brim, the oil shall not be stayed. He is a sun ever-shining; He is manna always falling round the camp; He is a rock in the desert, ever sending out streams of life from His smitten side; the rain of His grace is always dropping; the river of His bounty is ever-flowing, and the well-spring of His love is constantly overflowing. As the King can never die, so His grace can never fail. Daily we pluck His fruit, and daily His branches bend down to our hand with a fresh store of mercy. There are seven feast-days in His weeks, and as many as are the days, so many are the banquets in His years. Who has ever returned from His door unblessed? Who has ever risen from His table unsatisfied, or from His bosom un-emparadised? His mercies are new every morning and fresh every evening. Who can know the number of His benefits, or recount the list of His bounties? Every sand which drops from the glass of time is but the tardy follower of a myriad of mercies. The wings of our hours are covered with the silver of His kindness, and with the yellow gold of His affection. The river of time bears from the mountains of eternity the golden sands of His favour. The countless stars are but as the standard bearers of a more innumerable host of blessings. Who can count the dust of the benefits which He bestows on Jacob, or tell the number of the fourth part of His mercies towards Israel? How shall my soul extol Him who daily loadeth us with benefits, and who crowneth us with loving-kindness? O that my praise could be as ceaseless as His bounty! O miserable tongue, how canst thou be silent? Wake up, I pray thee, lest I call thee no more my glory, but my shame. "Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake right early."

Ellie Goes Back to School by Elle and Marci Fair

http://www.amazon.com/The-Amazing-Adventures-Ellie-Elephant/dp/0996363505/ref=pd_sim_sbs_14_3?ie=UTF8&refRID=064D30MHSFHDMNFDYT22


The third installment of an award-winning children’s series, The Amazing Adventures of Ellie the Elephant: Ellie Goes to School follows the charming plush toy and her best friend, Pudgy the Penguin, as they brave their latest exploratory journey—elementary school.

Having recently moved, Ellie is worried about her first day at a new school. But, encouraged by the presence of her trusted penguin sidekick, the little elephant decides to view the next few hours as just another buddy adventure packed with exciting surprises.

Throughout the day, Ellie and Pudgy meet the classroom pets, take a trip to the library, discover interesting instruments in music class, and so much more. They even learn a valuable lesson about friendship when they encounter a lonely student at recess. By the end of the day, the two best friends can’t wait to return to school the next morning!

Just in time for Back to School.  Ellie Goes to School will help make going back to school or even starting school a wee bit easier for little ones.  Ellie takes them on a tour of her school and explains the things that students might see and do in school.  A wonderful book to read to your kindergartner or 1st grader.  Your 2nd grader will probably be delighted because they'll more than likely be able to read the story to you.  A colorful book, easy to read and most children will be able to relate to the story as well.  The connection is there and that is all that matters when it comes to going back to school.  Visit Ellie the Elephant's web site here. 

 A copy of these books were provided by Bostick Communications and the author in exchange for my honest review.
