Whole-ly Holy

 
 
'May God Himself, the God who makes everything holy and whole, make you holy and whole,
 
put you together - spirit, soul, and body - and keep you fit for the coming of our Master,
 
Jesus Christ.  The One who called you is completely dependable. 
 
If He said it, He'll do it!'
 
~ 1 Thessalonians 5 {The Message}  ~

    What a gift, the holiness and wholeness only He offers. Not by our strength or even our own will, but by His calling, His making, and His keeping. His Love!

    Blessings to you from a grateful heart . . .

      Snapped this baby at a butterfly conservatory this week up in Massachusetts ... wonderful, beautiful winged creatures flew free, high and low. You would have loved it, dear Sabbath friend!

    Am being reminded this morning that it is all up to Him and only by His grace. So thankful that it isn't up to me and that He is faithful.

      I have no idea what his name is, but my little starstruck 4 year old companion and I sure had a blast at the butterfly conservatory up in Deerfield, MA!

    Relying on Him is one of the majorist, most blessingest phases of my life. What else can truly count? Love your photo and the Word you shared.

    Thank you.

Welcome to the table, friend!

This is where we gather and hang out. I'd love for you to pull up a chair and jump right into the conversation. Or simply say 'hello.'

l'll be dropping in to visit you sometime soon ...

Linda
