I’m thankful for every one I am able to take. I reminded myself of that very recently when I left the room without picking up what I went in there to get. And.
Bacon.
More specifically bacon on the grill. It smells like breakfast any time of day and memories. Happy memories.
Now wait before you say – you! eating bacon :) It’s preservative free!
The sound of the washing machine. Just think about what’s wrapped up in that privileged sound: water, power, clothes, health – all those resources and all that strength to dirty the clothes and to clean them!
The giving of thanks for ordinary things. It makes me know I am happy. :)
Giving thanks for a pretty umbrella and a Baby Girl and Hubby who shared it with us.
Umbrellas.
Shields. They shield us from sun and rain and even keep the table cleaner we hope.
Sunday School.
Our lesson came from 2 Peter 1. Click herefor a link to read.
Verse 4 says we have exceedingly great and precious promises and if we believe and rely on these exceedingly great and precious promises we have the greatest of all shields as we traverse this often hostile planet.
Virtue.
Verse 5 says we are to add virtue to our faith. In preparation for the class I was led to an understanding of the word virtue that has given me cause for praise. So thankful!

For things eternal and Him who made it so.

We are glad you are here; stay a while, look around, and be encouraged. We estimate there to be over 3,000 posts here at The White Stone Blog. Please know my hope is ALWAYS to help and NEVER harm. I have voiced many opinions and thoughts here since 2007 and by now I MAY NOT EVEN AGREE with all of them and some of my grammar and punctuation likely needs editing. But this is changeless: JESUS is our ONLY Savior and Hope. Do you KNOW Him?
