Category Archives: A Quick Hello

Sunshine

I’m just stopping in for a Monday morning hello.  It must be quick to truthfully be a morning hello as there is only about 30 minutes left in this beautiful, cool Monday morning in lower Alabama. It has warmed up considerably since dawn.  I know because Hubby got his Christmas present put in place on Saturday. We are enjoying it. Okay. So it’s not that exciting this morning. Not like it was Saturday night when it was 30 something degrees with a wind chill index.  Moving right along.

I hope you all have a fine and gracious day.

The Message Bible Ecclesiastes 11:
6 Go to work in the morning and stick to it until evening without watching the clock. You never know from moment to moment how your work will turn out in the end.
7-8 Oh, how sweet the light of day, And how wonderful to live in the sunshine! Even if you live a long time, don’t take a single day for granted. Take delight in each light-filled hour, . . .   .

Sweet JESUS Blessings upon you today – Go with HIM today, even when those you love most do not.

There are prayers to pray! Praying (PFT) is breathing for Christians!

Just Being Honest

Truth.
I did other stuff yesterday and did not write, so you got no post in your email boxes this morning.
And then last night I was so outdone with a Public Figure and Facebook that I did not write; actually, I am so outdone with our President that I did not even watch his speech.
I suppose you could say since I don’t get to tell him what I think, I don’t want to hear what he has to say.  One-sided conversations are so frustrating!
Have y’all found that to be true too?

Too often I catch myself having an internal conversation with folks who will never hear what I would so like to say. It does me no good or them.
So why do I do it?
Flesh.
That’s the honest truth.
But admitting it to you is helpful and Father GOD and I are working on it.  :) 

Accountability.

Such a good thing!

I’d like to spread that around! Oops.  Not going there. :)  It’s a dead-end road.

Shall I share a Scripture and post this???

“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.” Philippians 4:8 KJV

via BibleGateway.com: A searchable online Bible in over 100 versions and 50 languages..

That was easy. I opened my online Bible and there it was at my fingertips.
Father GOD is so funny sometimes, so tender and loving even with discipline.
Do y’all find that to be true too?

Thank You, Father.  I love you for loving me. Thank You for each of our Readers too.  Are we doing all that You want us to do as a group?
If we are not, would You lay it on our hearts to do more as a unit?
Would You give us discernment and direction on how we can make You known and alleviate some of this world’s suffering in JESUS’ name?
Thank You, Father.

Love, Kathie 

These Are Mine

to meditate on today (yesterday too) and perhaps tomorrow.  Which are yours?

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

16 Rejoice always;
17 pray without ceasing;
18 in everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
via I Th 5:16-18 NASB – Rejoice always pray without ceasing in – Bible Gateway

For this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus – He is not talking about that sickness or lack or burden, any of that –His will is for me (for you) to rejoice and pray and give thanks even in sickness or lack or burden as I wait for Him to get me (and you) through to the other side of it. Our ABBA is not the author of evil; however, in His infinite wisdom and perfect love He does allow it for a season. Why? One day we will know. Until then we will trust Him. We will believe and receive His love and His wisdom. That is we do and will if we want to please Him and keep our sanity.

It is rainy in lower Alabama today but HIS face is shining upon us.

There are prayers to pray! Praying (PFT) is breathing for Christians. Breathe RED!

Random and Rambling

Remember my So Be It post?
In case you missed it, click HERE.
As I was catching up on some reading in my Journey Magazine for last Friday, I read these words: “When you really care for someone you speak the truth, even when it’s difficult.”
Would y’all consider that a reminder and more confirmation?
I’m still praying for those who said yes for prayer in this regard.

It has been Monday all day! :)

I really do like the new lay out of The White Stone.  If you read by email, you don’t get the benefit of seeing the web page.  But you can! Just click the title of today’s post near the top in the body of your email and that will direct you to the website.  :)

Tonight’s  supper is vegetable beef soup — just some Thompson trivia!

Truthfully, I’m not in much of a writing mood today; but I’m trying to get computer time done before my beloved gets home – not that he minds but just thinking it’s not too late in this new year to practice some good habits.  The FlyLady would be proud! Yep! still hanging out with the FlyLady. Some days I fly better than others. But my sink’s shiny before I go to bed each night. :)

One more word and this one is from ABBA I am sure. It would do us well to meditate upon it this Tuesday or any day:

James 1:5 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

5 But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
