What are you praying about tonight? What is pressing your soul? Don’t give up — The Father cares more than your mind can imagine and more than your heart can take in. He does love you, especially when it FEELS like maybe He does not.
Psalm 145:17-19 New Living Translation
17 The Lord is righteous in everything he does; he is filled with kindness. 18 The Lord is close to all who call on him, yes, to all who call on him in truth. 19 He grants the desires of those who fear him; he hears their cries for help and rescues them. source

Privileged has become an unsavory word perhaps because we have no real and true understading of what it actually means. Privileged.
The woman you will see in the following videos explains privileged – better than anyone I’ve heretofore heard.
And in this one she said she wanted to tell people that there is nothing in life worth doing except loving and living for JESUS.
And again PRIVILEGED.
The following is copied from the YouTube channel wherein the immediately above video is situated.
“Dr. Helen Roseveare (21 September 1925 – 7 December 2016) was an English Christian missionary, doctor, and author. She worked with Worldwide Evangelization Crusade in the Congo from 1953 to 1973, including part of the period of political instability in the early 1960s. She practiced medicine and also trained others in medical work. Helen Roseveare was born in Haileybury College in Hertfordshire, England in 1925. Her father was Martin Roseveare, the designer of ration books for the United Kingdom used during the Second World War. Her brother, Bob Roseveare, was a wartime codebreaker. She became a Christian as a medical student at Newnham College, Cambridge in 1945. She was involved with the Cambridge Inter-Collegiate Christian Union, attending prayer meetings, Bible study classes, and evangelical events. After completing her studies, Roseveare applied to WEC to be a medical missionary. In 1953, she went to the Congo, where she was assigned to the northeast provinces. She built a combination hospital/ training center in Ibambi in the early 1950s, then relocated to Nebobongo, living in an old leprosy camp, where she built another hospital. After conflict with other staff at the hospital, she returned to England in 1958. She returned to Congo in 1960. In 1964 she was taken prisoner by rebel forces and she remained a prisoner for five months, enduring beatings and r apes. She left the Congo and headed back to England after her release but returned to the Congo in 1966 to assist in the rebuilding of the nation. She helped establish a new medical school and hospital, as the other hospitals that she built had been destroyed, and served there until she left in 1973. After her return from Africa, she had a worldwide ministry speaking and writing. She was a plenary speaker at the Urbana Missions Convention three times. Roseveare died on 7 December 2016 aged 91 in Northern Ireland.”

Guess what. An attitude of gratitude makes housework easier.
I’m not kidding. I proved it today.
There were floors to dust mop, toilets to clean, sinks, countertops, dishes to wash, laundry, cooking – you know those endless tasks. Endless because we do them over and over again. And we can complain about it – a lot. But why?
Did not The LORD tell us whatever we put our hands to do, to do it for Him?
Ecclesiastes 9:10 Complete Jewish Bible 10 Whatever task comes your way to do, do it with all your strength; because in Sh’ol, where you will go, there is neither working nor planning, neither knowledge nor wisdom.source
Colossians 3:23 New Living Translation 23 Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people.source
Hey now, we can dust mop floors, clean counters, and all that other stuff already listed with a thankful heart. Giving thanks that we can fellowship with JESUS while doing these things AND we can give thanks that we have floors and a roof and people on those floors, beneath that roof that we love. AND we can train our children in the process (because yes they need to be taught to clean too). We can give praise out loud to our Gracious LORD as we work alongside those little ones – helping them with toys and clothes and whatever tasks they are ready to learn. It will take holy practice for them and us!
Believe it or not, Scripture does not say: cleanliness is next to godliness. However, if we look around at Creation we can easily see that our Creator is The GOD of orderliness, tidiness, etc.
I really expect Heaven is beautiful, clean, and tidy. I think I best practice till I get there! :)

Before this day is gone, I am here to bring you this Word-Picture from The WORD. And we could ask who does not want a life long and prosperous? And then we ask who is willing to do what brings a prosperous life? And what kind of prosperity is Father offering us?

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?
