FRAGRANT GRACES
A Sermon
http://www.iclnet.org/pub/resources/text/history/spurgeon/web/ss-0014.html

Published on Thursday, October 7th, 1915.
Delivered by
C.H. SPURGEON,
At the Metropolitan Tabernacle, Newington.

Sermon Scripture

"While the king sitteth at his table, my spikenard sendeth forth the
smell thereof."--Canticles 1:12.

spikenard SPYK nuhrd», also called nard, is a plant that grows in China and the Himalaya. Its long, narrow root yields an essential oil once commonly used to make an expensive perfume.

Sermon Outline


I. EVERY BELIEVER HAS GRACE IN POSSESSION AT ALL TIMES.

II. GRACE IS NOT GIVEN TO A CHRISTIAN TO BE THUS HIDDEN, BUT IT IS INTENDED THAT, LIKE SPIKENARD, IT SHOULD ALWAYS BE IN EXERCISE.

III. THE ONLY WAY IN WHICH A CHRISTIAN'S GRACES CAN BE PUT INTO EXERCISE IS THAT HE MUST HAVE THE PRESENCE OF THE MASTER.

"Happy 90th, Earl" and
may you have many happy more.

Dear Earl-

Mike shared some of your life with me and we have
several things in common.  My family is from the
mountains of eastern Kentucky where my Mother grew up
in a mining camp and my Grandfather worked as a miner.
My own Father fought in WWII and lost his hearing at
Iowa Jima.  And I too love the Lord and thank Him for
all the blessing of and in my life.

May He continue to bless you and Happy Birthday, Earl.

Sherri from Kentucky
 


Earl,

Sorta nice you still got some music left in you

Earl,
I learned about your birthday from Mike Sawyer.  He says you are a gem,
and after reading a little about you, I agree. It sounds like you have
had a VERY full, wonderful life!  You were SO very blessed to find your
true love!  It's hard to believe you never raised your voice to each
other.  Sounds like a little bit of heaven.  Someday you will be
reunited with Tommie in Heaven with our precious Lord and Savior, Jesus
Christ.  I hope I can somehow meet you there.  You also have been
incredibly blessed with wonderful health. With all my health
challenges, it is hard to believe anyone could be as pain free as you
have been.

Keep on living a good healthy life and sharing your "Solution to Great
Living" with others.  Who knows how many have already been influenced
by your life!  Keep those "ripples" going!  Have a fabulous birthday
and "May the good Lord bless and keep you".
(My birthday was Sunday the 2nd)
Blessings,
Lanita from  Kentucky

 

 


Earl,

Happy Belated 90th Birthday.  It is truly a blessing to celebrate 90 years young.
My dad passed 10 years ago; mom will be 85 next month.  They were married 56 years. 

You and your wife had a wonderful life together and I know you are grateful for that.

I have enjoyed reading your emails.  Take good care,

Sandra

Mike:  Please wish Earl a very happy birthday for me.  He sounds like someone I would very much like to call a friend.

Earl,
This is a belated 91st birthday greeting. 
We have a dear family friend, she just turned 92 in July.  She and her brother who is 79 can remember their childhood like it was yesterday.  I love to hear their stories.  It just amazes me to no end.
Hope you had a great day!  Happy Belated Birthday!!!!

For Earl:
 
Happy Birthday, Earl!  It staggers me to think of all the things you've seen, the places you've been to, and all the things you've experienced in 90 wonderful years of life on God's green earth.  I pray that I am lucky enough to do the same!  I wish you a wonderful and blessed day surrounded by friends and family and may you all bask in the love of God.  HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!
 
I'd also like to tell Earl:  Keep calling out to your beloved Tommie...she hears you.  My dad, though now remarried at a young 74, still gets up every morning around 3:30 am (a holdover from 24 years of army life) and sits with a cup of coffee talking to my mother who has been gone 6 years now.  I still talk to her myself and it's like I can feel her smile or comfort me when everything is all snafued.  I think that, when loved ones are sundered in life, God still leaves an avenue open for communication for those who know how to listen...with their hearts.

Hi Earl,

May God continue to bless you.

Happy 90th birthday,

Happy birthday, Earl!

I met Mike on the Homewood Walking Trail, and he shared part of your story with me. You've had quite an adventurous life, and I know you've been an inspiration to many people. It sounds like you and your wife shared a relationship to be envied.

I work at Southern Living magazine, which is a dream come true for me. I think I've wanted to work here most of my life, but things finally fell into place for me to come here last year, and I couldn't be happier. I work with wonderful people, and I read copy that I enjoy every day. The Lord has blessed me far beyond what I deserve.

I hope you have a lovely, happy birthday.

                                      Happy Birthday, Earl
I read your letter to Mike, you are an inspiration. May this year be a great one!
God Bless.

Charlotte and Benny in Florida

 

 

Earl,
 
As a veteran of World War II you are a hero, one many Americans need to salute and say thanks. People like you enable people like me (a UM preacher) to live free, proclaim the gospel and have so many privileges.
 
No doubt you have learned great things during your long life. May the wisdom you have be passed down to the rest of us and received with gratitude.
 
In Christ,
 
Burt from Virginia


 

 

Dear Earl,

I read the synopsis of your life experience you wrote to my friend Mike.
Thanks so much for sharing it.

I want to wish you a belated happy birthday for your 90th birthday! May God
continue to give you strength and draw you close to Himself.
May you continue to be a blessing to others and increase in strength.

Sincerely,
Doug Roy
Kentucky

 

 

 

Keep up the good work and have a great birthday.  Have faith

Earl,

How in the world did you fit all of that into just 90 years…Happy Birthday!

Richard
Tampa, Florida

 

Earl,
Happy Birthday and Best Wishes! Thank you for defending my country during W.W.II as well. My husband has scared me numerous times coming into the house without me knowing it. After reading your sweet solution to that problem, we have started the same. Today when he came home for lunch he yelled out "Honey, I'm home!" Not only did it let me know that he was home, but it let me know that I should always cherish the fact that he was able to be home with me. I hope we have as many great years together as you and Tommie had.
 Happy Birthday again and May God Bless You!
                                                                                   Connie
                                                                                  Kentucky

 



Earl, Happy-Happy Birthday
and many-many more.
I want to go fishing with you.
Come on down to Alabama.

Dennis by phone to Mike
