Some Helpful Guidance! http://www.gocfc.com/audio_messages/get_your_hands_out_of_my_pocket/asplus148.htm














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

Here it is still a tid light outside; along with a beautiful sunset!

It has been a full full day; had a number of bit errands etc to do. One of them involved going to a Crematorium; and I could not help but think about all the scattered graves / tombstones; all of different sizes and shapes. Like how old are the graves / tombstones? (a few hundred years old perhaps); what is inscripted upon them, as in an epitaph; how old the person was, when he or she passed away; what was their life like. etc. etc. etc. Questions, full of questions. It was very peaceful, believe it or not; and I thought eventhough, these people have died, have left this Earth; here is Praying that their souls are in Heaven, and enjoying Eternal Everlasting Life. While driving through the graveyard 'parklike setting', there were bouquets of Spring flowers here and there on various graves; as well as one touching sight to me. A little old lady, stooped and hunched over, in an old but warm blue coat, was tending to placing some flowers on a grave. She had a walking cane; which was propped up against the stone; but she was diligently and lovingly remembering a loved one.

Carried on with errands, and whilst out and about, noticed there is a lot of construction / building taking place. Immediately, I thought of how vital it is to have a firm foundation. That is so true too, with human life; very important to be grounded in a firm understanding of what is right and / or wrong.

Also, picked up a water filter for our fridge; could not help but appreciate that in our part of the world, we have an abundant source of water; as well as having the wonderful convenience of going to the outlet for refills.

Went to the Church also, to pick up a tape (that is the norm apparently, to tape Services and give tapes to the family members) of the Memorial Service for Alan's Mum. There were 5 tapes in total; 4 for each sibling, and the Dad. Alan had made prior arrangements that he would pick up his and his Dad's tape, when the tapes were available. Well, today we discover that the oldest sibling had already picked up Alan's and the Dad's tapes??? However, the Church suggested to Alan to take one of the 3 tapes, still left. So, Alan ended up with a tape, regardless. The sibling who spoke at the Service, left Alan out entirely in her speech in the Church (Feb 25th blog?)whereas, Alan included her and the others, in his Rememberances of his beloved Mum. The oldest sibling apologized in the lawyer's office; that it must have been an oversight, that she made no mention of him. Hmmmmm???? The good thing is though, the lies, the deceits, the malice, the anger, the hate, the jealousies, the petty and false accusations etc, are going to lose in the end.

Tidbit - It is so easy to flounder, flutter about, and / or be frustrated when things are amiss; and or being harassed with petty bittidy details; designed to throw you off track. I believe it is in the HOW we function with all the tidbitty inadequacies, dodge tactics, and challenges. In other words, brush it off; and Praise Him ALL the more; BECAUSE, He has already WON!

Bittid - Rise above all things; and even when 'things' are premeditated, pervasive throughout, and insiduous insinuations, just appreciate that He always Prevails with the TRUTH. He is the Way, the Truth, and the Light. Seek and Ye Shall Find.

Have managed to link in a site (March 3rd Post) with some helpful Guidance.

Good Night and God Bless.
