Random and Rambling

Remember my So Be It post?
In case you missed it, click HERE.
As I was catching up on some reading in my Journey Magazine for last Friday, I read these words: “When you really care for someone you speak the truth, even when it’s difficult.”
Would y’all consider that a reminder and more confirmation?
I’m still praying for those who said yes for prayer in this regard.

It has been Monday all day! :)

I really do like the new lay out of The White Stone.  If you read by email, you don’t get the benefit of seeing the web page.  But you can! Just click the title of today’s post near the top in the body of your email and that will direct you to the website.  :)

Tonight’s  supper is vegetable beef soup — just some Thompson trivia!

Truthfully, I’m not in much of a writing mood today; but I’m trying to get computer time done before my beloved gets home – not that he minds but just thinking it’s not too late in this new year to practice some good habits.  The FlyLady would be proud! Yep! still hanging out with the FlyLady. Some days I fly better than others. But my sink’s shiny before I go to bed each night. :)

One more word and this one is from ABBA I am sure. It would do us well to meditate upon it this Tuesday or any day:

James 1:5 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

5 But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him.

A ‘Carry-on’ for the Day.

Just a word from the Word for you to carry with you through this day.

Deuteronomy 4:31 For the LORD your God is a compassionate God; He will not fail you nor destroy you nor forget the covenant with your fathers which He swore to them.
via Deut 4 NASB – Israel Urged to Obey Gods Law Now O – Bible Gateway.

Deuteronomy 4:39 Know therefore today, and take it to your heart, that the LORD, He is God in heaven above and on the earth below; there is no other.
40 So you shall keep His statutes and His commandments which I am giving you today, that it may go well with you and with your children after you, and that you may live long on the land which the LORD your God is giving you for all time.”
via Deut 4 NASB – Israel Urged to Obey Gods Law Now O – Bible Gateway.

For the LORD your GOD is a compassionate God.
He will not fail you today.
Take these words to heart, write them on the walls of your mind, and they will grow for you a bountiful harvest of peace.

Prayer is breathing for the Christian.

Just As I Am,

A Movie

A, I suppose best described as a secular movie with GOD tones made me cry and say thank You to Father this afternoon.

Neither of the Names by which we know our Triune GOD were spoken; He was only referred to as ‘They’. Not a  theologically sound movie but certainly a feel-good movie. Not a movie to teach us the doctrine of salvation by grace; not a movie to teach us that without the saving work of Jesus Christ perfected in each of us individually the soul collector who comes when we die will not be benevolent. Truth is not every soul leaving planet earth will be escorted by a Collector who is filled with love and kindness.  But I’m off my point.

My tears came and I thanked Father for making me human. I have been known to lament that I am human.  To lament my flaws and frailties; to lament that I am not perfect; lament that I have feet of clay.  However, from the perspective of the movie, I could praise and thank God for loving me so much that He would create me human.

Oh, how He loves us! Flawed, frail, rebellious, proud, arrogant, foolish, on and on goes the list. BUT God loves humans! We are His most treasured, most beloved, most valued creation of all. I think I shall cease to lament that I  am human and rather praise that I am a beloved human, saved by the grace of Almighty God; saved to have fellowship with Him forever.  Ahh! how blessed to be human!

Hebrews 2:15-17 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
15 and might free those who through fear of death were subject to slavery all their lives.
16 For assuredly He does not give help to angels, but He gives help to the descendant of Abraham.
17 Therefore, He had to be made like His brethren in all things, so that He might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people.

via Hebrews 2:15-17 NASB – and might free those who through fear – Bible Gateway.

Do you know for sure when your Soul Collector comes to escort you to your eternal place that Collector will be one of the 2/3s and not the 1/3?  (Hebrews 1:13-14) (Revelation 12:4)

The movie? Want the name? :) Soul Collector. I might watch it again. I like happy tears!!

Prayer is breathing to a Christian.

JESUS LOVES YOU!  Kathie
