"Lo, the flowery month is come! March winds and April showers have done their work and the earth is all bedecked with beauty. Come my soul, put on thine holiday attire and go forth to gather garlands of heavenly thoughts...
In Jesus I find not only fragrance, but a bed of spices; not one flower, but all manner of sweet flowers. He is to me my rose and my lily, my heartsease and my cluster of camphire.
When He is with me it is May all the year round, and my soul goes forth to wash her happy face in the morning-dew of His grace, and to solace herself with the singing of the birds of His promises.
Precious Lord Jesus, let me in very deed know the blessedness which dwells in abiding, unbroken fellowship with Thee."
from Morning and Evening by Charles H. Spurgeon

So beautiful!
How closely one would walk with the Lord to have written such a beautiful passage.
Thanks for sharing.
Beautifully written! I've never heard the quote before. It really inspired me. THANKS!
Have a great weekend!
I've never heard this prose before. Lovely.
I think I can catch waft of the ruby-rimmed rose...
A little more about the passage... it is a portion of the May 1, "morning reading" from Spurgeon's daily devotional book titled Morning and Evening. I thought that it was quite appropriate for May 1.
A perfect post to welcome May! I must find that book!...it would make a lovely devotional.
