Happy Sunday!














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

Today is Sunday; and it has been a bit of a strange day, weatherwise - rain, sun, clouds, back and forth. We planted a tid of plants; including an asparagus plant! In three years, I understand that the asparagus plant will have a 'life of its own' and can expand to at least 3 feet in height and width etc. I gather it can also be utilized as a 'ground cover'. At the moment, the asparagus plant is in a good sized pot; however, we will have to transplant it, within the next year or two. Imagine enjoying fresh asparagus from your own garden! Mmmmmmm! Mmmmmmm!

Our other verggie herbs are thriving wonderfully, despite the bleak and wet June we just experienced. Our climbing roses are really growing; next fall, we will have to cut them back, in order to promote lower blooms; rather than just at the spindly tops! However, the pink Queen Elizabeth and the Yellow Roses are in excellent health! Our bittid patio / garden is alive with life; which is how it should be!

We enjoyed ourselves last night at our neighbour / friend's gathering, and the evening went by too quickly! Delicious tidbit mouth watering hors'd'oeuvres and pleasant tasting wine; as well as fun company set the scene!

This morning I enoyed watching the 3 programs on the Vision Channel, I referred to in yesterday's post. ie in 'The Hour of Power', one of the tidbitz points that reached me, was about a woman by the name of Mandisa, and she was one of the participants in the 'American Idol' Contest. She had a lovely face and a beautiful voice! What a gift He has given her! Mandisa felt that she had a purpose, when she was auditioning in 'American Idol'; and that was to enjoy the power of Him by her song and voice, in reaching others. I gather that one of the judges was not overly 'diplomatic' towards her; and the words were picked up on T.V; but when Mandisa returned to continue the audition, she took a gracious stand and basically forgave the judge in question; eventhough 'others' were suggesting to her she could 'speak her mind'. Well, she rose above the situation and acted with GRACE! Wow! Very powerful! The song she sang on the Vision Channel today, was called 'God Speaking'; and what a fantastic job she did with the song! Even Dr. Robert Schuller Sr commented about her "healthy and positive eyes (and that the 'eyeballs don't wrinkle!' LOL! I like Dr. Schuller's wonderful sense of humour!) The EYE is what you see first; and that is where there is the first sparkle" Also, Mandisa shared that 'regardless of what we do, or if we mess up our lives, God LOVES us'. I can not remember the name of her new book ('Faith, Fat, and Fame')? but good on her!

Next, I watched Joyce ('Enjoying Everyday Life') and she was awesome as well! She is currently in Mumbai (Bombay) India; and not only is she there to teach the Gospel, but to help with the medical needs of the people living there. Her ministry has even set up a 'Transformation Centre'; as in an 'outreach' ('Hand of Hope'); whereby children can now live in a safe environment. ie Two dear little girls had been abandoned by their mother. Joyce's main message she shared over and over again, IS 'Something GOOD is going to happen to me'. Very true. As well as her words of wisdom - "Always expect something GOOD; God is God; He has a hope and a plan for us; to do us GOOD". "AGREE with God, Believe the Bible; and as Jesus says, 'He IS the solid rock on which we can stand; He is the Rock of our Salvation". "FEAR NOT". Joyce is 'right on' with her teachings. www.joycemeyer.org is her website; should you wish to further glean genuine gems from her. When you sincerely accept Jesus into your heart, you will begin a new life afresh. She was saying that "God hears your Prayer. He comes to live in your heart; your name will be written in the Lamb of Life". (Book of Life). Photograghed with Joyce, was an old woman who was very close to death; however she turned to Jesus; and all other gods that she had earlier worshipped, were history. She is now written in the Book of life; as she has recognized Jesus to be her Saviour. I thought this bittidz was pretty heartwarming. Also, Joyce is on the Vision Channel, at 8:00 pm during the week.

Last but not least, was Charles Price ('Living Truth')and he is also widely recognized as an International Bible Teacher'. Charles is wonderful! It is best too, that you tune into his messages; be it online or on the Vision Channel; to receive the full impact of his meaningful teachings. What I enjoyed hearing was "Let the Word of Christ dwell in you Richly" (Colossians 3:16). 'Have the HOPE that Christ IS within you, that He Directs and Guides you. Out of our hearts, flow the Life, the Love, the Character; and LOVE IS THE CHARACTER OF GOD'. 'LOVE energizes you; and Jesus Christ wants to be living as Jesus in you and through you'.

Hope the above Tidbits / Bittids are helpful, insightful, and encouraging to you. They certainly are to me.

Here is wishing you an R & R evening; hope those that celebrated the American 'Independence Day' enjoyed a nice long weekend. Love the above photo image. Love Conquers ALL.

Good Night and God Bless.
