A relaxing and peaceful day

Good Evening, or whatever is the appropriate greeting to you, in your part of the world.

Today has gone by in a tid, as in a flicker of an eyelash! Was up early for a Sunday; however, it felt good! Made the coffee, the tea for Alan, lit a cosy fire, rearranged the various vases of gorgeous golden daffodils, and was ready to just enjoy the rainy day! Alan and Blue, what more could I want!

Started to reorganize our cabinet; and believe it or not, it took a bit of time; Because it led into more 'Spring cleaning'; and now things look a whole lot tidbitz better! Also had our T.V. on in the am; and listened to the 'Hour of Power' (the Schullers), Enjoying Everyday life' (Joyce Meyer), and 'The Living Truth'(Charles Price). I have referred to them a number of times in my posts; I really enjoy their excellent messages, on the Vision Channel on Sundays. Perhaps, you are familiar with them?

Dr. Robert Schuller Jr was talking about 'Faith', and to 'Fear Not'. Also, he had his huge congregation stand up, as in a 'wave' formation, and shout out: 'We are MORE than Conquerors'; his 'pep talk' was most inspiring! Also, he shared 3 interesting statements, as opposed to questions. 'If God is for us, who is against us?''God graciously gives us all our needs' (not greed). ie He feeds the birds of the air, and tends to the lillies of the field, would He do any less for us? ie take care of us. And,'who can separate us from the LOVE of Christ?'

Also, very touching were the beautiful voices of the 'Children of the World Choir'. The song, 'A Global Hallelujya' was so moving; as well as the accompaning drums. I could have listened to their music all day! I may see if I can tune into the "Hour of Power'; and hear the song online!

Joyce was talkng about 'FORGIVENESS'; and just to let the past go; simply let it go!

Pray for those that 'persecute' you; so that 'they' can be set free. And you know when you have a cut, and then in the healing process, a scab is formed? Well, if you keep picking off the scab, you will end up with a scar. Joyce gave that example; and, in other words, let the healing take place.

And Charles was invigorating as well! Basically saying that the Stories in the Bible are still as relevant today, as they were a few thousand years ago.

Then I started thinking about some people that have done Alan and / or myself 'wrong'. The main ones, are Alan's siblings; and I believe in my heart, that 'they' know that they have done Alan an injustice etc. As Joyce was saying do not 'curse' people, instead ask Him for His help; ie 'they must have a good heart'; and then He steps in and Forgiveness starts. I felt an even greater calm, when I thought of it, that way. She said too, to Pray for your enenies and Bless them. Well, once again, a peace overtook me. Interesting.

Yesterday, we went out to our favourite Produce Farm; and it is such a treat to have fresh vegetables, salad makings, and fruit. We have some tid herbs now sprouting up in our tidbit garden; and they were delicious in our meat, veggies, and salad last night. Also, made up a large batch of peanut butter cookies; from a fabulous cookbook, that has Mennonite recipes! The wonderful smells of fresh herbs, cookies etc have permeated our home throughout the day. I read a bit of history about the Mennonites; and I was amazed that nothing, and I mean, nothing is ever wasted! 'Waste not, want not', is a given bittidz. They are very resourceful; and the food is superbe.

We have an old red apple cookie jar; and it is full of freshly baked cookies! Am a 'young grandma'; and, when the little ones are a bittid older, I look forward to enjoying many fun times with them; some of which will include 'cooking adventures with Grandma'. LOL! Love the above photo image! That looks so savoury; can almost taste it!

We have a full week coming up; so am going to say Good Night. Hope the above tidbits / bittids are of encouragement to you.

God Bless.
