When you can call a friend who will drop what she’s doing, bow and pray with you and for you – that is a reason to give thanks!
I have such friends. I am grateful!
We have heard Prayer Changes Things. And it does but what prayer mostly changes is PEOPLE. The ones praying and the ones being prayed for.
Do you have such friends? If you do then you know what I mean and you are giving thanks.

I am thankful that 27 years ago today a little man was born. His lungs filled with air and he let out a cry that told us all he was strong and loved.
Happy Birthday, Sweet Boy. Your Mamaw loves you.
Children. Gifts from GOD!
Psalms 139
13 For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb. 14 I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well. 15 My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. 16 Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, The days fashioned for me, When as yet there were none of them.
17 How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them! 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?
