Soup! As I sit to write this evening, I am giving thanks for the soup we had today – lunch and dinner. I found the recipe on Instagram if you are interested.Â
Tuscan White Bean Soup.Â
I had to tweak it a bit as I was out of heavy cream (I melted butter and combined it with milk), and gently poured the combo into the soup at the appropriate time. It worked well enough.
You may follow this LINK for the recipe and find many others at The Recipe Rebel. I didn’t ask but I am confident, Ashley will not mind if you stop by her food blog. :)Â
That’s all. I get to go to the office tomorrow — I’m a little short on words tonight at 6:52. :)
November Birthdays
I am thankful for November birthdays and the people in my life who have them.
A grandson. A daughter. A Brother. A granddaughter by love and marriage. A niece. A nephew. A Sister in love who is with JESUS now.
November is special, don’t you think?
And then there is Thanksgiving!
Some of us list things all month for which to be thankful. :)
I hope my listing (15 days now) is pleasant reading for you all.
A verse of Scripture for today:
Deuteronomy 7: 9 Know therefore that the Lord your God, He is God, the faithful God, who keeps His covenant and His faithfulness to a thousand generations for those who love Him and keep His commandments; sourceÂ
Let this be sweeter than cake to you today that Your GOD Is GOD, the One and Only GOD, the one and only faithful GOD, the one and only GOD who keeps His covenants, keeps His promises to generation after generation of THOSE who love Him and keep His commandments.
What can we give thanks for today?
For me, tasks completed, jobs well done, and loving people to help.
Let me encourage you to tackle some of those tasks that you have been telling yourself you need to do but not today.
No time like the present. :)
Origin of No Time Like the Present This idiom is a proverb that was first written in the year 1562. The idea behind it is that if you wait too long to do something, you may never get to do it. Something may come up that prevents you from doing or saying what you wish you had said. source
Proverbs 6:4 Don’t put it off; do it now! Don’t rest until you do. source
It’s way out of context but it’s on point for this post, don’t you think?
It’s Morning! Not really but it will be by the time you see this — it may even be afternoon or evening. Either way: Whether it be work or play or investing the day at home, we can give The LORD praise and thanks.
Today, I am thanking Him for His perfect watch-care over us. Nothing slips up on Him or squeezes by Him. We can rest in HIM and be thankful.
Psalm 139 1 O Lord, you have examined my heart     and know everything about me. 2 You know when I sit down or stand up.     You know my thoughts even when I’m far away. 3 You see me when I travel     and when I rest at home.     You know everything I do. 4 You know what I am going to say     even before I say it, Lord. 5 You go before me and follow me.     You place your hand of blessing on my head. 6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,     too great for me to understand! source
There’s more to Psalm 139 if you would like to read on. HERE.
We are glad you are here; stay a while, look around, and be encouraged. There are over 3,500 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?
and the people in my life who have them.
 
Whether it be work or play or investing the day at home, we can give The LORD praise and thanks.
