Mercies reviewed and pondered are even sweeter than when first
bestowed.
Amongst the perilous mercies pleasing to nature, is health of
body. Sickness, although a mark of the curse, usually favours,
more than health, communion with God.
True gratitude never says, I have done enough.
The best way to keep our mercies, is to be ready at all times
to give them up at God's call.
A child of God, taking a cup of cold water with a thankful heart,
may render a better service to God than one who gives thousands
of gold and silver.
Ingratitude towards God for benefits received makes us distrustful
of Him as to the future.
