Day 30 — You

It seems fitting to me to give thanks today for each of You on this our 30th day of Giving Thanks here at The White Stone. It all began a morning in June 2003 when I emailed four of you a few words of commentary on the verse of Scripture that spoke to me that morning. You are still with me. I am so grateful. And grateful for every one of you that have come along since. Thank you for your love and prayers all these years.

You all have been so good for me. Your accountability has kept me going to the Scriptures, perhaps without you, I would not have been faithful. Thank you for helping me.

Thank you too for the thousands of prayers that you have prayed — we don’t know all the miracles our Father, has performed just because we asked.

Thank you for your attentive spirits and words of concern and encouragement when you read between the lines sensing that I needed a word from you.  Thank you especially for your prayers in those times.

Thank you for understanding and encouraging me when I stepped out in faith to take a new name – Kathie Whitestone.

And then again when you overwhelmingly shared my happiness as I became Kathie Whitestone Thompson.
Oh, what a day!!
Our wedding day was neither traditional nor conventional, but it sure was fun!
And for these 30 days of November perhaps we have like so given thanks.

Well, Dear Ones, thank you.  I hope we have many more years together to share JESUS and His Word. Come to think about it — we have all eternity! Now that’s a reason to give thanks!!!

Isaiah 57:  21st Century King James Version (KJ21)
14 And shall say, `Cast ye up, cast ye up, prepare the way; take up the stumbling block out of the way of My people.'”
15 For thus saith the high and lofty One who inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy: “I dwell in the high and holy place with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.
via Isaiah 57:14-16 KJ21 – And shall say `Cast ye up cast ye up – Bible Gateway.

Our love to you all. Let’s keep giving thanks.

Day 29 — Home

So thankful, so glad to be home.
Home.
A safe place; a place of refuge from the world.
Home.
A place with pleasant privileges and responsibilities to perform – and time to do them!  Makes me smile big.  :)

 I can say no more than this: there is a middle-aged woman for whom I would like for you to pray. Home for her is in real jeopardy. My prayer is for full truth to be revealed and if her present Home is justified it will remain. Moreover that she will experience JESUS at Home in her heart through all this.

And now that I am Home. We can look and plan and do Christmas!
Home for Christmas – images of more than sugar plums are dancing in my head. Giving thanks for all that surrounds Home, it can only make Christmas full of joy this year.

John 14:
23 Jesus answered, If a person [really] loves Me, he will keep My word [obey My teaching]; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home (abode, special dwelling place) with him.
via John 14:22-24 AMP – Judas not Iscariot asked Him Lord how – Bible Gateway.

And all of us said: Amen!

Day 23 — A Double

A double load of thanks today.

For sunshine after rain. Even if it is only intermittent and momentary.
And for the power to choose to resist temptation.

I deviated from my flight plan this morning. That is I did not get on board when I opened my eyes this morning – didn’t even go near the hanger :) .  And so about mid-morning I was sorely tempted to just blow off the whole day. And I could have done that – the world would not have crumbled.
But I am thankful to report: I seized that thought, wrestled it to the ground and jumped on board right where I was. And a few moments ago as I was juicing an apple, a carrot and a handful of cheeriest for lunch, I noticed it was only 12:45!! I marveled at what had been accomplished in such a short time.

How wonderful is it that as long as there is breath it is not too late to do the right thing.  And that will ‘preach’ in any situation, won’t it? :)

Have a happy day – do the right thing, even if it seems way late.

1 Corinthians 10: 21st Century King James Version (KJ21)
12Therefore let him that thinketh he standeth, take heed lest he fall.
13There hath no temptation taken hold of you but such as is common to man. But God is faithful; He will not suffer you to be tempted beyond that which ye are able to bear, but with the temptation will also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
14Therefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.
via 1 Corinthians 10:12-14 KJ21 – Therefore let him that thinketh he – Bible Gateway.

Hmmm. verse 14 immediately following verse 13 gives me cause to wonder; could it be when we refuse to resist temptation, we have stepped off into idolatry?

Whatcha think?
