The 'Gridiron Gang' - so true in life!

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

Where to begin! Well, maybe with today, thus far; and the other forthcoming thoughts (ie from the Vision Channel; you can refer to yesterday's post, if you wish) are for each and every day.

We SLEPT IN this am; including our Blue - until 9:00 am! Guess our bodies needed that refreshing reinforcement. Mind you, we did watch a couple of 'late movies' in the warmth of our cosy bed. Plus, we were outdoors most of yesterday, which went well into the evening; so the fresh air was a major factor!

Mid morning took us to our favourite 'produce farm' and the place was 'hopping' with people; and it is a rainy day to boot! There are also some other nearby 'farms'; which we 'support' as well; but in bits and tids; as we are 'loyal' to our favourite 'farm'. We visited / bought there first, then went over to the other two, and then returned to make additional 'garden investments'. I like that word! LOL! All 3 'farms' are uniquely talented; but this 'farm' is extra special to us! Perhaps, when I gently patted the owner on the shoulder, she just 'beamed' - like she was just 'glowing'. So, I would like to believe that everyone is a bittid of an uplift to each other. And, let us face it, gardeners are a 'happy' bunch; and it is also, a treat to have fresh produce! Yum! Mmmmmm! We ended up with our Herbs - Sweet Basil, Sage, Thyme, more Rosemary, Marjoram, Chocolate Mint (Mmmmmmm Mmmmm),Cucumbers, Peppers, Lettuce (Boston, Iceberg, and Romaine - 2 each), Cherry Tomatoes (3 different types x 2 = 6 cherry tidbit tomatoes!), and a tidbitz of seedling geraniums of 5 different vibrant colours! (white, red, pink, a vibrant pink/purple?, and orange? - interesting tidbit mix!). We 'came back' for the 'seedling' geraniums; they look healthy and the price is right! And, eventhough there will be a 'lag time' in their bittid blooms, we just can look forward to when they do blossom forth! Appreciate anticipation! I guess that is a tidbit / bittid of sorts? LOL!

It is POURING with rain; what a difference from yesterday; although the temperatures are not cold; however, not warm either; but we do appreciate that Spring is finally here! Birds are still chirping!

One of the movies we watched is based on a true story! 'The Gridiron Gang'; and it has hugely impacted me. I really appreciate the 'Rock'(see the above photo image; he has a very gracious 'winning' smile, methinks). Apart from him being an athlete, he was ideal for this heartfelt and inspirational movie; which was about 'criminals' (some dangerous) that were given a 'second chance' to redeem themselves, in the name of football; and being a part of a 'team!'. In a bittidz, this tale was geared towards these 'inmates', to encourage them towards establishing a better life for themselves. All 'they' needed, was 'someone' (and others, consequently) to genuinely believe in 'them'; and to sincerely tell them, they are worthy' human beings, and that they are NOT 'losers'; but WINNERS. This just chokes me up; because there is so much negativity going on around us; so GOOD on the movie being produced to enlighten humanity in all these tids and bits. A suggestion, if you watch this remarkable movie, you may have a greater understanding and empathy for those, in those types of 'dire' straits.

Yesterday I enjoyed watching the Vision Channel; and if you can tune into the programs great; because of their invigorating messages of Truth.

Dr. Schuller Sr. pointed out that the "tough times never last; but the tough keep going". In a tidbit, think 'positive thoughts' and have total Trust in Him. And, as Joyce Meyer was sharing, be an 'Overcomer' (love that description!) and do not act on 'worry'; thus making the wrong choices. Instead, have a 'peace', and let Him Carry your Burdens, by simply Relying on Him for everything. ie Solutions. Charles Price was speaking about Death; and how best to handle grieving etc. These are but a a few of bittid / tidbit for your ears, if you wish to hear. Psalm 56 is so wonderful! Just read it; and it brought more tears to my eyes! Truth; and the 'Truth Sets You Free!' Charles was saying that there is 'grieving intermingled with gratitude'; and that 'tears are the price that we pay for the joy of the person'. 'Better to have a good cry; the 'healthy' cry more often; thus laughter and tears'. Methinks it best, if you tune into Charles and the others, as they can provide you with more ample knowledge.

Hope the above bittid /tidbit is of encouragement. Am going to go outside now, and enjoy our tid garden / patio. Fortunately, there is a sheltered area, that provides a bit of protective relief from rain, wind, and snow. and even the sun! Our friend just telephoned; she is literally on her way over for a bittid of a tidbit visit; so it will be lovely to see her!

Good Night and God Bless.
