Up close and personal....how about up close and 'oysterized' personal!

Good Afternoon, or whatever the applicable greeting is to you, in your part of the world!

It has been a wonderfully tid relaxing day thus far! It is Sunday; however, it seems extra enlighteningly 'special' to me! Enjoyed watching and listening to 'Hour of Power' (with the Schullers), Joyce Meyers (Enjoying Everyday Life), and Charles Price (Living Truth) on our T.V. this am. Very insightful inspirations! I really relate to Joyce!

Once again, went to rearrange and redecorate our bit shelves / cabinets or whatever. Have a tidful of oyster plates arriving! Three, in total! One is a match to the one we have (the bit cream white plate with the gold trim; 1888 - 1896), and the other two, just simply caught my eye bitful! I love the sage green coloured plate (1877); looks so elegantly tranquil; and the other one (early 1900's), has beautifully handpainted seaweed scenes. Love the antiquity, history, earlier eras! The expression, "The world is your oyster", keeps filtering through my head...I believe this 'pearl of wisdom', is from "In the Looking Glass", by Lewis Carroll. It is very true, 'The world is your oyster!' It is what you make of it! And by relying on Him, He does provide your daily needs.

Tidbit - If you have a hobby, interest, or passion in collecting, whatever it is, joyfully go for it! When you have more than one item of the same 'type', you are a 'collector!' Please feel free to share with me, what it is you do enjoy collecting! I would be interested in hearing about it and, learning appreciatively more!

Bittid - It is important to be "joyful" from the inside! ie His Holy Spirit indwelling within you! When that happens, you change! Things are just different. For those of you, who know of what I blog, you can appreciate these illuminating Truths. And for those, that do not know, understand. or whatever, simply "let Him (Jesus) into your Heart". It is amazing to see the transformation! You will never look at things again, in the same way! Place your Trust in Him, and He will make it so!

God Bless.
