Descriptive Words

Leave a comment

The people and reasons to pray are many this morning, every morning, and all day.
We are a needy people – the People of GOD.
Others are too but tragically and sadly they don’t know where they can get real and lasting help. I want them to know.
And yet that is not why I came here today.

I came to talk about comfort and correction.
I came because I have prayed for comfort and correction this morning; for me and others.
Comfort because this mortal life is hard and correction because I am flawed enough to make it harder — I need correction.
With opened eyes, I see I am not the only one. All of us mortals need correction – the saved and the lost of us.

So that was my prayer, (is my prayer) Father, please correct us. Please rid us of all the dross in our day-to-day mortality that hinders us from . . . from basking in all that is holy and good.

3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our affliction so that we will be able to comfort those who are in any affliction with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. 5 For just as the sufferings of Christ are ours in abundance, so also our comfort is abundant through Christ.  2 Corinthians 1 

Until we meet again,

Holy hugs, Kathie

Sometimes I come and sit and look at this blank screen and in my mind, I write something funny or important and I feel connected to a small collection of people beyond this screen.
Silly.
But here I am tickling the keyboard waiting for something to appear on this screen that is worth the publish button.

I have been a tiny, minuscule part of the blogging world since 2005,  I think.
First with another hosting platform, and here at WordPress since 2007. That’s a lot of words.

Oh, Father, You know my desire has been to make You known from the pages of this blog. To establish a connection whereby I could communicate that You are and that they (I) need You; that You are the only hope people have to escape this world with peace and safety. I’d like to keep doing that as long as You will leave me here. For sure, for sure it will take You in me to do this – You are my only hope. 

I hope it is immediately apparent as you happen upon The White Stone Blog that it is a web spot where JESUS is King. I hope you find this a pleasant place with refreshing, or perhaps even odd thoughts expressed, good stories, funny stories, interesting information, and real-life help to know GOD better than you did before you stopped by.
I suspect I will not know the good that was accomplished by these pages until I am absent from this body and present with The LORD.

Not to take anything away from my dear brother Paul, I just know it took the Blood of JESUS to wash this sinner clean and it’s a really good thing that that Blood does not lose its power, it keeps on keeping me clean — I did not say sinless, but I do sin less than I used to. Hallelujah!
I have a word this year that I am taking with me through the year.
It’s the word DELIGHT and my aim is that I learn this year more than I ever have to delight in The LORD and to know that He delights in me and to take delight in the people He puts in my life this year, particularly those who came with me from 2023.

It’s been a sweet Sunday here. I hope it is at your house too.

I got to go now. We need a dog leash — we loaned out the one we had to a stranger. :)

Is this month speeding by for you too? 

Two weeks and this month, this year, will be done — in the books. 

Are you making plans for 2024?
Are you thinking you want to do better in 2024 than you did in 2023? 
Me too! 
Watch after family and friends better. Pay more attention to my calendar. Bring my thoughts captive more. Study more. Read more. Are you thinking about those things too? 

That’s what we do at the end of one year leading into a new one, right?
And that’s not bad. It’s good to reflect. Visions and plans are good too. 

What does the Bible say? 
People perish where there is no vision.  Proverbs 29:18

What else does the Bible say about our plans? 

Proverbs 16:9 “A man’s heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps.”  source
Don’t miss the verses before and after. We will surely need them in 2024.
We need them now.

Depending on the circles in which you read or listen you may be getting wind that 2024 may hold some rougher times than did 2023. Perhaps they are right. Perhaps not. 

But on this, we can hang our hat, take it to the bank, and other clichés we hear or say, GOD will NOT forsake His Children.
