The following is a quote from the great English minister, Charles Spurgeon. These words come from a sermon entitled, Timely Reflections, which was delivered December 27, in the year of our Lord 1868. (You can find the text of this sermon on-line.) In many ways, these words reflect my life since my Best Beloved, Charlie, died and went on to be with the Lord on May 23, 2009.
"You have been nearly shipwrecked, but you are not wrecked. The storm has been very furious, but above all the billows Jehovah's power has kept and preserved you. Your feet had almost gone, your steps had well nigh slipped, but the Divine Power interposed in everlasting grace, and to this day - a wonder unto many, but especially a wonder to yourself-you are still on the road to the Celestial City, and you are nearer to it now than when you first believed."
