It’s Sunday evening, the sun has set, and darkness has fallen all around.
Was it a good day for you?
Did you worship?
Did you pray? Did you sing?
Did you help someone move a little closer to loving JESUS?
Well, tomorrow is another day . . . and if we see the light of day, let us seek the LORD early, let us begin again, and walk a little closer in our following JESUS than we did today.
Lamentations 3: 22 Because of the loving devotion of the LORD we are not consumed, for His mercies never fail.
23 They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness!
24 “The LORD is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in Him.”
25 The LORD is good to those who wait for Him, to the soul who seeks Him.
26 It is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD.SOURCE
Well, y’all the last midnight of 2022 is 30 hours away (at this typing).
Thirty hours and a New Year begins.
We make a big deal of it — don’t we?
I actually like New Year’s.
Other than Thanksgiving, it’s my favorite holiday.
I like fresh starts.
I like new canvases.
There’s even something special to me about starting a new journal – that very first page.
What shall I write?
What shall we write on the page (canvas) of our very first day of 2023?
We have some plans — do you?
How many of you remember back in the 1990s Churched People used to gather for fellowship on New Year’s Eve?
We would eat fun foods, play games, laugh, and talk until about 11:00 ish and then we’d head to the Auditorium or Sanctuary if you prefer; we’d kneel around the altar and we would pray in the New Year.
Are any of y’all gathering together to do that this New Year’s Eve?
Let me hear from you.
I gotta get up from here — time to prepare supper.
Lamentations 3:22-23 New American Standard Bible
22 The Lord’s acts of mercy indeed do not end, For His compassions do not fail. 23 They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness. source
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?
