This depression comes over me whenever the Lord is preparing a larger blessing for my ministry; the cloud is black before it breaks, and overshadows before it yields its deluge of mercy. Depression has now become to me as a prophet in rough clothing, a John the Baptist, heralding the nearer coming of my Lord's richer benison. So have far better men found it. The scouring of the vessel has fitted it for the Master's use. Immersion in suffering has preceded the baptism of the Holy Ghost. Fasting gives an appetite for the banquet. The Lord is revealed in the backside of the desert, while his servant keepeth the sheep and waits in solitary awe. The wilderness is the way to Canaan. The low valley leads to the towering mountain. Defeat prepares for victory.
C.H. Spurgeon

His Dying Request

Looking down at the sick man, the doctor decided to tell him the truth:

"I feel that I should tell you that you are a very sick man. I'm sure you
would want to know the facts. I don't think you have much time left.
Now, is there anyone you would like to see?"

Bending down toward his patient, the doctor heard him feebly answer, "Yes."

The doctor replied, "Who is it?"

In a slightly stronger tone, the sufferer said, "Another doctor!"

Note Placing

While preparing for a dinner party, my wife put a note on the hand towels
in the bathroom.

The note read: "If you use these, I will murder you."

Obviously, the note was meant for me.

In the excitement, my wife forgot to remove the note.

Later that night, after the guests had departed, the towels were
discovered to be in perfect order. The note also remained untouched.
