Day 1 – Good as Done

img_3459It’s late but I dare not wait till the morning . . .  why? Because right now it is still Day 1. 
Day 2 is fast approaching and I have not a clue what will be written here for Day 2. I am hoping I do indeed write something for Day 2. smile1

Luke 1

Verse 67.
Zechariah was filled with Holy Spirit and he prophesied.
What was his prophesy? Begin with Verse 68 and see.

As you read it, please note he is speaking in past tense!
He says: GOD has visited His People. GOD has redeemed His People. 

And in verse 69 he continues with past tense language!
He has raised up a horn of Salvation in the house of David.

And then in verse 76 he begins to speak over his 8-day-old son.
He says of him, you will go before The LORD to prepare the way for Him.

Do you know that at the time these words were spoken JESUS – YESHUA would not be delivered from His Mother’s womb for another 6 months?
Do you know what this means?
Zechariah KNEW The LORD was already here on planet Earth, He knew He had already left Heaven.

He knew that salvation, (redemption) was as good as done as it would be done when it was done

GOD keeps His Word!
When He says it, it is as good as done even before we see it done.

On a side note, do you know what else this means?
Babies are BABIES at conception.

DAY 1!

Sticking With It

Thinking. Reflecting.

I think I have forgotten more than I remember of the Goodness of the LORD to me this year.

Yet this one in particular stays with me.
Reading from Genesis to maps.
I’m ready next for Psalm 119.
This reading through has been one of the sweetest treasures in my Journey of 72, almost 73 years. Just the gift of sticking with it; of seeing it through, not giving up even on those occasions when I have missed a day or two. Of picking up that precious book, finding that golden ribbon that marks the place, and carrying on.
Perhaps we carry on (stick with it) because we carry a Precious Treasure in these earthen vessels. 😊

The gift of sticking with it!

Happy Saturday my Friends.

21 Days to Hatch

Do you know a hen sits on her eggs, keeping them warm until they hatch? 
It takes about 21 days. I’ve not been sitting on this for 21 days but today I think it’s hatching time. Drum roll, please. Ta Da! img_4086-1

Here’s the TEXT that came to mind when I saw this some days ago on Facebook.

John 15:18 If the world hates you, understand that it hated Me first.
19 If you were of the world, it would love you as its own. Instead, the world hates you, because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world.
20 Remember the word that I spoke to you: ‘No servant is greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will persecute you as well; if they kept My word, they will keep yours as well.

21 But they will treat you like this because of My name, since they do not know the One who sent Me.
22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin. Now, however, they have no excuse for their sin. 
23 Whoever hates Me hates My Father as well.
24 If I had not done among them the works that no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin; but now they have seen and hated both Me and My Father. 
25 But this is to fulfill what is written in their Law: ‘They hated Me without reason.’ 
26 When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father—the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father—He will testify about Me. 
27 And you also must testify, because you have been with Me from the beginning LINK

Okay. Now that you have read the TEXT, what about Christmas does the WORLD love?

The Fourth Thursday

It’s been a fast November. I have a regret. I didn’t do my usual November thirty days of thanks and now The Thursday is almost here. 
So from our home to yours. 

happy-thanksgiving-peace-love-joy-autumn-leaves-800x533-1083234904

I celebrated today with my Office Family. I cannot thank Father GOD enough for His provision and favor upon us when He set me in place at Holt & Associates. We are grateful. 

When you gather in your respective places on Thursday, I hope your coming together will not be about just food and feasting; please sprinkle the day with generous helpings of thanks. 
I long for us, The Body of Christ, to experience celebrations with family and friends that are more than just eating holiday foods, laughter, family shenanigans, and afternoon naps.
I’m not frowning on those things — not at all! Let’s do all that but can we go deeper? 
Can we have prayer and worship too?
Can we sing songs together?
Can we encourage one another with the Joy of The LORD – recounting what He has done all year for us?
In other words, can we just flat-out GIVE THANKS? Lots of thanks for HE surely deserves it!

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?
