Welcome, April

"Frost and snow come from Him, and therefore 
should lead our thoughts and meditations to Him 
who does such great things, past finding out."
~Matthew Henry



"As we cannot command a shower of rain, so we 
cannot command a fair day, without God; so necessary, 
so constant, is our dependence upon Him."
~Matthew Henry




"Both summer and winter will have their course. God can change them when He pleases, can make the spring cold, and so bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, and the winter warm, 
and so loose the band of Orion; but we cannot."
~Matthew Henry



"Nothing is more uncertain than what weather it shall be, 
nor more out of our reach to appoint; it shall be what weather pleases 
God, not what pleases us, unless, as becomes us, 
whatever pleases God pleases us."
~Matthew Henry




"It is a marvellous change that passes over us every morning by the return of the light and every evening by the return of the darkness; but we expect them, and so they are no surprise nor uneasiness to us. If we would, in like manner, reckon upon changes in our outward condition, we should neither in the brightest noon expect perpetual day nor in the darkest midnight despair of the return of the morning."
~Matthew Henry

  1. “While the earth remains,
    Seedtime and harvest,
    Cold and heat,
    Winter and summer,
    And day and night
    Shall not cease.”
    Genesis 9:22

  7. I love the pictures and Quotes. It is a good reminder to us that when we whinge about the weather (as we are so prone to do :-) we complain against the providence of God.
