I didn’t realize until today that my Baby Girl shares her birthday date with Billy Graham. What fine day to be born! Please watch this video. And offer a prayer for tonight’s telecast, Billy Graham and my Baby Girl. Thank you and may your blessings be more abundant!!
I visited a bit this evening with a dear blog sister, Elaine, at Peace for the Journey. Click HERE and read her post. It is her post that prompted me to go looking for the you tube featured below. Let the words transport you to a place of worship. In particular note these words: Thou and Thou only, first in my heart, High King of Heaven, my Treasure Thou art.
ABBA, this is my prayer that You High King of Heaven be FIRST in my heart; truly be in my words and practice, Thou my Treasure now and forever. Thank You for songs so beautiful that lead us to worship You. Thank You for all the huge and smaller things You are doing in our lives. I am reminded of the Billy Graham telecast just a few weeks away; thank You for such a servant as he is and I pray this endeavor will bring the harvest of souls that You desire. I pray we will be pliable in Your Hands and will do as You will to assist in sharing this telecast with others. I am again bringing Bella, Carolyn, Jamie, Teri and family, Dori, and other situations to You, confessing we need Your help and we desire that You heal and restore these. And in truth, ABBA, these named are only a small number of the names and faces that I bring now asking You for mercy and grace. Holy Spirit, keep us ceaselessly praying for others, always in the Mighty Name of YESHUA.
6 For it is the God who once said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” who has made his light shine in our hearts, the light of the knowledge of God’s glory shining in the face of the Messiah Yeshua.
7 But we have this treasure in clay jars, so that it will be evident that such overwhelming power comes from God and not from us.
Billy Graham tells of a woman who asked, “Why do I need a home?” She said, “I was born in a hospital, educated at a college, courted in an automobile, married in a church. I live out of a delicatessen-tin cans and paper bags. I spend my mornings on the golf course, my afternoons at the bridge table, and my evenings at the movies. And when I die I will be cremated and buried in a brass urn. All I really need is a garage.”
Tragically, millions live like this woman. Our homes often are mere parking places in which we spend a portion of the night, places where we pass our family members like ships in the night. But we are paying a great price for our lives of distraction. A good deal of the violence and chaos of our society results from these unstable homes. God never intended our homes to be mere parking places for busy bodies needing rest and refueling. Rather, homes have purpose, and God’s Word contains directions for their proper use.
God planned marriage so that two people can become together what they could never be alone. Each individual completes the other as they become a unit. However, no marriage can really be complete without a living relationship with God through Jesus Christ. God created marriage, and it is foolish to think it would ever be complete without Him as the foundation.
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?
