    Happy Easter!!

    Happy Easter to everyone who passes this way.

    Our Saviour has 'acted justly, loved mercy and walked humbly', for us. He has done what we could never do, and has brought to us grace upon grace.
    He humbled Himself, and been raised to the highest throne, and will come again.....

    Grumbling

    A heavy wagon was being dragged along a country lane by a team of oxen. The axles groaned and creaked terribly, when the oxen turning around thus addressed the wheels, "Hey there, why do you make so much noise? We bear all the labor, and we -- not you -- ought to cry out!" Those complain first in our churches who have the least to do. The gift of grumbling is largely dispensed among those who have no other talents, or who keep what they have wrapped up in a napkin.

    Charles Spurgeon, The Quotable Spurgeon.

    I have found that when I start to grumble, I have lost the right motivation for ministry. I am no longer 'willing' because I am no longer grateful. It is then that I need to "make myself grateful'.
