What a beautiful spot these four dear girls have chosen for their feast of luscious fruit, under a fine large tree, surrounded by pretty flowers and shrubbery. Dear children, to whom are we to give thanks for such feasts as this? Who caused the beautiful fruit to grow and become sweet and juicy? Who made the grand tree, and the beautiful flowers?
To all these questions, you will answer, “God.” Yes, dear reader, you cannot name one good thing for which He is not to be thanked.
He has given us so many good things to enjoy, that our hearts should always be filled with thankfulness.
There is one gift above all other gifts—a gift that affords a far greater feast than anything in this world. Many of you know about this gift—God’s gift of His own beloved Son to save poor lost sinners. Many of you have accepted this gift, and have feasted on that blessed One. You know how He satisfies the heart, and what joy and peace accompany such a feast.
If any of you do not have this gift of God, he assured now that He is offered to you, and that you too, are invited to God’s feast.
“Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money, and without price.” Isaiah 55:11Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. (Isaiah 55:1).
