Reap in mercy;
Break up your fallow ground,
For it is time to seek the Lord,
Till He comes and rains righteousness on you.”

It's a quite interesting post.
Hmm…I like them all, but Churchhill's struck a cord…that's the second quote by him I have read today….
I am so thankful for God's mercy…!!!
We are always, somehow or other, on the wrong day for Sabbath Keeping but trust that it matters not at all.
We are so grateful to you, Sandra, for including us on your prayer list. Thank you.
Thank the Lord for all our answered prayers~

Thanks for some thought-provoking quotes. I don't remember ever seeing the Chesterton one about children — very telling — and the Bunyan quote is convicting!
