Christian joy can only be realized, when Christ reigns there, alone and uninterruptedly. If the world is permitted to occupy a larger share of the affections and the heart – if plain and known duty is neglected – if the means of grace are carelessly used – if in all your efforts, your duties, and your services – whether in the Church or in the world, you do not entreat the Divine blessing and the Divine aid – then the Spirit of God is grieved. He withdraws His cheering influence; and it is utterly impossible to have the peace and joy, which flow from the inward, abiding presence of the Savior – and which is the work – the entire work, of His Divine Spirit, the true and only comforter.

William Cowper

SIMPLE SYRUP

Cut the ripe cantaloupe fresh into chunks and puree them in a food
processor to measure about 3 cups. Stir in the syrup and lemon juice. Taste
carefully. If the melon is not fully ripe, you may want to add a little
more syrup. Cover and freeze the fruit puree in ice cube trays [we needed
2.5    trays worth].
When frozen, place several cubes at a time into a food processor and puree
until smooth.  Process as many cubes as you want and enjoy!  [One tray's
worth of cubes was about 2 servings].
Simple Syrup: Put the water and sugar in a pot and bring to a boil.  Lower
the heat, cover and cook at a gentle boil for 4 to 5 minutes.  Make sure
the sugar is completely dissolved. Add the lemon juice and let cool. Use in
above recipe.  Makes about 1 cup.
