Mother’s Day 2011

7 May 2011 Kathie Whitestone Thompson 4 Comments

A quick hello to wish you all a Happy Mother’s Day.

This is my Momma, my Grandmother (both are in Heaven now), Me and my Girls — it’s been a while :) As close as I can date it is the Summer of 1984.

And these are my Girls today. Well, actually a few months ago. :)

I’m one of those Moms who did not do every thing right BUT GOD in His awesome love and grace rescued us and today love, honor and respect abound among us! And we owe it all to JESUS.

Ephesians 2:(New American Standard Bible)
4 But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us,

Titus 2:(New American Standard Bible)
3 Older women likewise are to be reverent in their behavior, not malicious gossips nor enslaved to much wine, teaching what is good,
4 so that they may encourage the young women to love their husbands, to love their children,
5 to be sensible, pure, workers at home, kind, being subject to their own husbands, so that the word of God will not be dishonored.
via Titus 2:3-5 – Passage Lookup – New American Standard Bible – BibleGateway.com.

So! A big Happy Mother’s Day! to each of you!!

And even if you, yourself are not officially a mother, please KNOW that GOD esteems YOU and He has young lives for YOU to sow His love into, look around and I promise you will find them. (See John 4:35)

ABBA, thank You for setting up life the way You did – Fathers, Mothers and Children. And, HOLY SPIRIT, I pray You will minister to the hearts of Mothers, Children and Fathers, particularly those who come to read and pray at this page. There are hearts needing comfort as Mother’s Day is celebrated. Some hearts are yet so broken because a Mother or a child is missing from view — it’s hard, ABBA. But You know, You know like no one else and You like no one else can comfort and heal. I pray every hurting heart will receive Your Comfort this day. And along with Your Comfort, I pray for Your Joy to be full in us for truly, LORD, You have given more than enough to cause us to worship You. Amen and amen.

Celebrating in HIS Name,
Kathie

Prayer Requests

Torkel

I am asking you all to pray and pass along this request I just received from my sister-friend, Linda.

Kathie
Darlene just called me and asked that we pray for Torkel. He had knee replacement surgery on Wednesday. Everything went well, but this morning he was having diffiulty breathing, and fluid was building up. Please issue a call to all your prayer warriors. Love you, Linda.

Torkel is a dear man who loves JESUS and unless he has finished his job here on planet earth he will be staying here and so he needs our prayers for strength and healing!

Thank you my friends,
Kathie

See To It

Just a few questions this morning if you are willing to play along.
As last week your response is welcome via comments below or email.

Colossians 2: (New American Standard Bible)
8 See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the world, rather than according to Christ.
via Col 2:8 – Passage Lookup – New American Standard Bible – BibleGateway.com.

SEE TO IT

How important is ‘see to it’?

What does ‘see to it’ walk out like in your life?

Do you have a ‘see to it’ list? Would you share an item or two with me that’s on your ‘see to it’ list?

Is ‘see to it’ a concept that bridges the spiritual to the material and vise versa?

Yep. Preparing for Sunday School. :)

Hope you all are praying and praising today. There are many, many needs around us and more stuff to PRAISE JESUS about than we can even think to name.

LaJuanna is waiting on test results — not an easy, comfortable place to live.
Jenny is traveling well on her road to recovery but no prayer for her would be wasted.
DeLois and supporting family would be encouraged by your prayers today.
I haven’t had an update on Iris Prosch but with her serious condition, a few warriors standing with her today would be ‘heavenly’.
Ken Croteau and Della were added to our list on April 26, still a fresh request, certainly need there.
Kathy and Joe, war with them as they praise and Kathy walks out this miracle.
Crews from Satsuma First Baptist are in route to help with aftermath of last week’s tornadoes — can’t pray too much over all that is linked to this, all over the State.

And you will find others at Praying for These

Thank you, Dear Ones!
