A Quick Hello, Christmas

One Day

Leave a comment

A late good morning my Friends.  It’s a cool Friday here.  But comfy inside.

Just something to ponder for the hours we have remaining in this day:

Matthew 25:31 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
31 “But when the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, then He will sit on His glorious throne. via Matthew 25:31 NASB – The Judgment – But when the Son of Man – Bible Gateway.

This is a blessed thought to me!

And before I go just a little Thompson trivia.  Our tree is up ornaments and all :) . Candles are burning. I so enjoy the fragrance of balsam and cedar. Just does me good. It reminds me of a dear, dear friend and cabin in the woods.  GOD is so good!!

Keep Braving the Dark with The LIGHT,

Good Wednesday morning. It’s a cool one here in lower Alabama. Cool and damp. But in the arms of our GOD is love and warmth, comfort and resources to meet our every need.

And since it is Wednesday it is pray for you by name (or email address) day.  Your prayers for me and mine would not be wasted. :)

Deuteronomy 7:8-10 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
8 but because the LORD loved you and kept the oath which He swore to your forefathers, the LORD brought you out by a mighty hand and redeemed you from the house of slavery, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
9 Know therefore that the LORD your God, He is God, the faithful God, who keeps His covenant and His lovingkindness to a thousandth generation with those who love Him and keep His commandments;
10 but repays those who hate Him to their faces, to destroy them; He will not delay with him who hates Him, He will repay him to his face.
via Deuteronomy 7:8-10 NASB – but because the LORD loved you and kept – Bible Gateway.

Amen and amen, ABBA, I pray each who comes to this page and whose names I now call before You will find themselves on the pages of Your Word. I pray they will know that they know that they know You are faithful to them, that You are kind and just in all Your ways, both those things You allow and those things You do. That You will never forsake Your own. Help us to fret not, ABBA, but trust You; to live in Your peace and joy even in adverse and painful seasons. Amen and amen.

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 28 — The HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD

I am SO thankful for Him. For the work He does. For the healing He brings when we have been wounded; even if the majority of the wound was self-inflicted because we did not quickly enough run to Him for comfort, solace, understanding, and wise counsel.

May each of you today experience the truth that you are securely held in the palm of His Hand, even in Nineveh.  In case you missed yesterday’s posting, click HERE.

Ephesians 1:12-14 21st Century King James Version (KJ21)
12 that we, who first trusted in Christ, should be to the praise of His glory.
13 In Christ ye also trusted after ye heard the word of truth, the Gospel of your salvation, in Whom also after ye believed, ye were sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise,
14 which is the pledge of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of His glory.
via Ephesians 1:12-14 KJ21 – that we who first trusted in Christ – Bible Gateway.

John 14:25-27 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
25 “These things I have spoken to you while abiding with you.
26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you.
27 Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful.
