C.H. Spurgeon's Morning Devotional

"Whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely."-Revelation 22:17

Jesus says, "take freely." He wants no payment or preparation. He seeks no recommendation from our virtuous emotions. If you have no good feelings, if you be but willing, you are invited; therefore come! You have no belief and no repentance,-come to Him, and He will give them to you. Come just as you are, and take "Freely," without money and without price. He gives Himself to needy ones. The drinking fountains at the corners of our streets are valuable institutions; and we can hardly imagine any one so foolish as to feel for his purse, when he stands before one of them, and to cry, "I cannot drink because I have not five pounds in my pocket." However poor the man is, there is the fountain, and just as he is he may drink of it. Thirsty passengers, as they go by, whether they are dressed in fustian or in broadcloth, do not look for any warrant for drinking; its being there is their warrant for taking its water freely. The liberality of some good friends has put the refreshing crystal there and we take it, and ask no questions. Perhaps the only persons who need go thirsty through the street where there is a drinking fountain, are the fine ladies and gentlemen who are in their carriages. They are very thirsty, but cannot think of being so vulgar as to get out to drink. It would demean them, they think, to drink at a common drinking fountain: so they ride by with parched lips. Oh, how many there are who are rich in their own good works and cannot therefore come to Christ! "I will not be saved," they say, "in the same way as the harlot or the swearer." What! go to heaven in the same way as a chimney sweep. Is there no pathway to glory but the path which led the thief there? I will not be saved that way. Such proud boasters must remain without the living water; but, "WHOSOEVER WILL, LET HIM TAKE THE WATER OF LIFE FREELY."

These are Healthy Snacks by Cintia Roman-Garbelotto

http://www.thesearebooks.com/just-published.html

Cute characters introduce healthy snacks with a rhyming quote, encouraging toddlers to make healthy choices while having fun with the rhymes and interacting with the reader.
This book is ideal for native speakers of English as well as for children growing in bilingual homes.

This is a very basic book. Definitely geared to toddler/preschool age. As a teacher I could see it used in an ELL class as well. A fun book to introduce food items to youngsters. The words are very limited on the page and the pictures are bold, but a very, very cute book. Early readers will love that they can read this book by themselves.

You can visit the web site here.You may download from Amazon free for a very limited time.

An ecopy of this book was provided by Bostick Communications and the author in exchange for my honest review.
