Hope

On this 30th day of November, I am thankful that I have written a post here at The White Stone for 30 days without a miss!
That is more of an accomplishment for me than you know. 

Accomplishments are truly worthy of thanks.

Tomorrow December begins.
What will December bring?
None of us know – we do have hopes and if our HOPE is in JESUS, we can be assured that whatever December brings HE will be with us. 

So as we end this month of the Giving of Thanks, let’s move right on into HOPE.

 

Snow

Snow.
I am giving thanks for snow today; not that I see much of it here in L.A. 

But all the same, snow. 

At this time of year and in certain movies snow is honored and nearly worshipped.
It seems to make all things alright.
It seems to be the thing that makes the season of Christmas, Christmas in the movies. 
The final touch, we might say.

If only people would let snow speak to them. 

Snow.
Made of exquisite individual flakes. 

I have a link for you and I hope you will read it.
The Science of individual snowflakes is cause for awe of GOD our Creator. 

How do snowflakes form? Get the science behind snow

Would you please consider this with me? 
Snowflakes.
Individual.
Unique.
Yet each and every one of them is a six-sided snowflake. No two alike but all with the same makeup. 

Sound familiar? 
Humans. No two alike but all with the same makeup. 

At the center of each snowflake, as white and bright as they are, is a tiny particular of pollen or dust. 
The very center of the snowflake is not white at all. 

Neither are we at our centers, White.
We are dark and desperately need the WHITE (Righteousness) of JESUS CHRIST to make us fresh and new.
Shall we say like freshly created, untouched snow, glistening and bright?

O to be that! Untouched by sin. Clean, white as dazzling snow, and bright. 
We can be; we are IF we are IN CHRIST JESUS

 
Snow. 
I hope going forward when you are privileged to see snow you will remember what you have read here today and that you will be sure you have given that dust particular at the very core of you to JESUS and if not, that the very next time HE offers to make YOU whiter than SNOW that you immediately respond: YES!
 

Spinners

Spinners.

With every breeze I see, I smile.

Baby Girl keeps me supplied – a number of years ago she gave me the first one and she said every time you see it spinning, just know I am thinking of you, Momma. 

It’s the little things that make lasting, sweet memories; that bring smiles and happiness to our souls. 
Give thanks with me today for the lasting, sweet memories that make you smile today. 

Science

Science.
Real Science. I’m giving thanks today for real Science.
Following real Science will lead every honest seeker to GOD.

Science.
Math.
Literature.
Music.
Art.
Architecture.

All these things have their origin in GOD. 
Don’t believe me? 
Read your Bible.
Cover to Cover and you will find all the above in the Literature of all literature. 
The Book of Job will be especially interesting to the honest seeker of Science. 
Here, start HERE at Job 1 – choose your translation. 

I wonder how many things we do in our society not because we have applied the science but because it’s just what we do. 
We have been told it is good and we assume they are correct. 
Are they? And who are they anyway? 

What did GOD say? 

Well, the month of November will be closing soon.
LORD willing I will continue to write, but probably not as often. 🙂

Birds and Blooms

Today, I am thankful for a lovely day with family and friends.

 

Matthew 6: 26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?  source

Today, I am thankful for . . . 
birds that feed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

And violets that bloom deep purple.
