The morning is the time fixed for my meeting the Lord. The very word morning is as a cluster of rich grapes. Let us crush them, and drink the sacred wine. In the morning! Then God means me to be at my best in strength and hope. I have not to climb in my weakness. In the night I have buried yesterday's fatigue, and in the morning take a new lease of energy. Blessed is the day whose morning is sanctified! Successful is the day whose first victory was won in prayer! Holy is the day whose dawn finds thee on the top of the mount! My Father, I am coming. Nothing on the mean plain shall keep me away from the holy heights. At Thy bidding I come, so Thou wilt meet me. Morning on the mount! It will make me strong and glad all the rest of the day so well begun.--Joseph Parker Still, still with Thee, when purple morning breaketh, When the bird waketh, and the shadows flee; Fairer than morning, lovelier than daylight, Dawns the sweet consciousness, I am with Thee. Alone with Thee, amid the mystic shadows, The solemn hush of nature newly born; Alone with Thee in breathless adoration, In the calm dew and freshness of the morn. As in the dawning o'er the waveless ocean, The image of the morning-star doth rest, So in this stillness, Thou beholdest only Thine image in the waters of my breast. When sinks the soul, subdued by toil, to slumber, Its closing eyes look up to Thee in prayer; Sweet the repose, beneath Thy wings o'er shadowing, But sweeter still to wake and find Thee there. --Harriet Beecher Stowe My mother's habit was every day, immediately after breakfast, to withdraw for an hour to her own room, and to spend that hour in reading the Bible, in meditation and prayer. From that hour, as from a pure fountain, she drew the strength and sweetness which enabled her to fulfill all her duties, and to remain unruffled by the worries and pettinesses which are so often the trial of narrow neighborhoods. As I think of her life, and all it had to bear, I see the absolute triumph of Christian grace in the lovely ideal of a Christian lady. I never saw her temper disturbed; I never heard her speak one word of anger, of calumny, or of idle gossip; I never observed in her any sign of a single sentiment unbecoming to a soul which had drunk of the river of the water of life, and which had fed upon manna in the barren wilderness.--Farrar Give God the blossom of the day. Do not put Him off with faded leaves. Edited September 17, 2017 by Lolly 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do not put Him off with faded leaves. God Bless. This mother sounds lovely. I feel exactly the same way about the Mother of God. I had not an earthly mother- she died when I was very young. But, I love to hear the graces given to those like you- to have the experience of a lovely mom. All holy moms she be venerated- ( held in great respect , shown adoration). Thank you for sharing this experience. I love to quote from the Mother of God's words.I like this Harriet Beecher Stowe quote-this spoken very eloquently about a mom- she must feel honored.

I'm sorry to hear that you lost your mother at a very young age--that must have been very hard for you. I love my mother, but the words written above are not my own.

God bless you too--I can imagine that you must desire the comfort of a mother, having lost your own. However, I think my own motivation came from my own desires to be close to God. Did you know that He comforts us the way a mother comforts? Isaiah 66:13 “As one whom his mother comforts, so I will comfort you;And you will be comforted in Jerusalem.” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So do I. I was making a correlation about mothers and Jesus' mother who cleaned His bottom, nursed Him at breast, kissed and cleaned His boo-boo's.who saw Him brutalized and a sword pierced her heart. Everyone here attacks me because I hold her in High regard. I talk about her words and what they mean. I give her an Amen, and am told I am evil and deceived. I am told I am from the RCC- even though I present her differently then they. But Farrah's mother was "Indeed ! a Godly woman. With Hail and exclamation! When I do that concerning The MOTHER OF OUR SAVIOR. I AM A PROPHETESS of the jezebel spirit. The worst odor of affliction before God! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
