A Quick Hello

Summer 2012

Gallery Leave a comment

has officially begun at the Thompson house. We are two days into GRANDS. I see signs in almost every room that they are here and that’s setting well with me — for a little while.  :) 

They have an honor board for helpful deeds done without prompting and the entries are appearing at a steady pace.  If these two days are an indication this will be a great Summer.  Prayer works!!!!

I am late getting here for a Wednesday. Come to think of it I missed Monday and Tuesday, didn’t I? There may be more than a few days I miss this Summer – that does not mean I will not be thinking of you nor that I forget you in prayer.

A sober passage has been chosen for us perhaps for today and tomorrow. Not with any expectations of you succumbing to drunkenness or dissipation; however the worries of life come to even the least of us.

Luke 21: 34 “ Be on guard, so that your hearts will not be weighted down with dissipation and drunkenness and the worries of life, and that day will not come on you suddenly like a trap;
35 for it will come upon all those who dwell on the face of all the earth.
36 But keep on the alert at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that are about to take place, and to stand before the Son of Man.”
via Luke 21 NASB – The Widow’s Gift – And He looked up – Bible Gateway.

Even so let not the Summer and altered schedules and activities hurry you into missing dedicated prayer times and the Study of ABBA’s Word. As demands increase, we will need the strength of prayer and the WORD to meet the sometime ‘grueling’ fun.

So let us keep alert as our days run together, praying and praising.

ABBA, thank You. Thank You. You are GREAT and AWESOME. I am encouraged and delighted and expectant of the Mighty Works You are doing in lives of people so dear.  And for each one who comes here to read and pray, I ask for an alertness and a determined heart to stay close, praising and praying and loving You; serving and ministering through all the days of Summer.  We bring our sick and afflicted asking that You heal them and for our Prodigals and I Waywards we entrust them to You and stand listening for Your instructions how we can help in JESUS name. I pray too for Israel for peace and a subduing of their enemies and for America  I ask for grace and space to repent. Thank You, ABBA. We love you. Amen and      .

Christian Living, Giving Thanks

So Tell Me (well, you don’t really have to)

have  you recently had a conversation with JESUS wherein You said to Him ‘Thank You for who You are growing me to be’? Have you thanked Him lately for the growth you have seen in yourself? Have you thanked Him that when the plug on that blow dryer cord you were curling up landed square on the bone of the inside of your ankle with a thud, and the only words in your mind and mouth were, ‘oh, that hurts!”. Have you thanked Him lately that you know in your heart of hearts and throughout every corner of your grey matter that He is responsible for every smidgen of right thoughts and actions you demonstrate? And that you are delighted with Him; and grateful to be His Workmanship?

Yes? Good. Keep to it. You are on the right path.

No? :(  Then I have to ask that you may ask yourself: why not?

10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath beforehand ordained, that we should walk in them.

It’s been a pleasant and pleasing day and I have You, ABBA, to thank for it. Thank You. Thank You.  Reminds me of that hymn: To GOD Be the Glory – I owe it all to You.  And I do.  We all do, every dear soul who comes here to read and to pray, we owe You our applause, praise, gratitude, worship for every work You have done in us. Thank you. And thank You that You are not stopping now. That we can expect You to keep it up. Thank You.  And, JESUS, we come now with our sick and afflicted, asking that You heal them; and with those we love who are dead in trespasses and sins asking that You work with them and get them to the place that they will say YES to You for Eternal Life.  Amen and               .

just reporting in today. I am thinking of you. Have prayed for you by name or email address (whichever I have). 

We have this word on the 3-year-old we have been praying for:

Just an update on the toddler for whom the prayers were given—he has “perked up” some trying to move about, they have identified the bacteria causing the brain lesions and physicians are hopeful that a dilation of his esophagus will be possible next week.  Our God is an Awesome God.

Sheila is scheduled for surgery May 7. We plead for your prayers in this.

Kathleen has some disturbing medical issues. Prayers for her desired and appreciated.

And there are others.    Praying (PFT)!

It is a beautiful sunny day in Lower Alabama.  A good day to desire to learn to sit quietly before the LORD and enjoy His presence.  That is what I have prayed for us today. Perhaps today we begin a quest to be trained by the HOLY SPIRIT to do this very thing.  :)

21 This I recall to my mind, Therefore I have hope.

22 The LORD’S lovingkindnesses indeed never cease, For His compassions never fail.

23 They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness.

24 “The LORD is my portion,” says my soul, “Therefore I have hope in Him.”

25 The LORD is good to those who wait for Him, To the person who seeks Him.

26 It is good that he waits silently For the salvation of the LORD.

via Lamentations 3 NASB – Jeremiah Shares Israel’s Affliction – Bible Gateway.

Again, ABBA, I pray for these and others that we will desire to learn to sit quietly with You, enjoying Your Holy Presence.  And yet in this moment, I do ask that You heal our sick and raise those who are dead in trespasses and sins to eternal life in CHRIST JESUS. Amen and  .
