Post Christmas Reflections - Peace!

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

This morning, found me quite aghast, as per this morning's post. I apologize that I did not say 'Good Morning or the best greeting' to you; however, I was and still am dismayed! Am going to Pray daily for both Schullers; that may He 'touch their hearts' for a spirit of forgiveness, reconciliation, and a better understanding. At this point in world history, it is extremely unfortunate, that two eminent Christians are having this level of discord for all to see! Did not Paul exhort us, that if we have disagreements as Christians, to resolve the difficulty by sunset! Particularly more so than ever, given the current economic strife, political unrest, and religious challenges circulating the globe.

I did not miss watching 'Enjoying Everyday Life' by Joyce Meyer. She is excellent; and she provides such a great deal of inspiration and TRUTH. To do yourself the best tidbit service possible, 'check into' her website: www.joycemeyer.org for knowledge 'first hand'.

However, here are a few tidbits that I appreciated today! Basically, 'Grace' is a Gift from God; we receive 'Grace' through 'Faith'. As Joyce says, 'He does not give us 'Grace' ahead of time'; only at the moment when it is required. I liked what Joyce said about 'a Wink from God'. It is good to Pray for 'Grace' every morning; because you can not do a thing without Him. 'One needs to come into an Agreement with God'; ie Stating with Confidence and Conviction, 'I DECLARE that I have 'Favour' with God, as He is with me.' That is very powerful and you are 'changed' forever. 'He cares about everything about us; as He LOVES us unconditionally'. A good tidbitz too, you know when you have the 'Grace', when you are NOT frustrated or worried; because you have left everything calmly to Him to handle for you. 'God is NOT the Author of Frustration and Confusion'.

Then 'Living Truth'. Charles Price is outstanding as well. Here are a few bittids I am thankful for! You can refer to Matthew 6: 19-24; and in a nutshell, 'We are all drawn by some sense of vision and purpose'. It is just a matter of where your 'treasures' are going to be stored; as in temporarily or eternal. As the saying goes: 'You come into this world with nothing, and you leave with nothing', eg. You can refer to 1 Timothy 6-7. Best you have your 'treasures' stored in Heaven' because, 'where your 'treasure' is, your heart is'. Also, you can NOT serve two Masters.

While Charles was speaking, about life as an appreciative "mist" at times; I noticed quite the morning 'mist' outside our bedroom window. The 'mist' was becoming thicker and thicker; almost as if it might snow again. Then I noticed a bittidz of sun shining through this foggy 'mist'; which then immediately started to clear. A huge beautiful white bird (I kid you not!) flew down and sat upon our neighbour's heavily snow covered large rhododendrum, which looked like a giant 'cream puff'. The bird just 'sat there' calmly; then it turned its head and looked directly at me, and after a few tid moments, flew off. WOW! I LOVE White Doves; do not know if it actually was a White Dove; it may have been a majestic Seagull, as I did see a tid of grey on its legs. In fairness to yourself, you should take a bittid look at the Living Truth website: www.livingtruth.ca for a greater understanding of knowledge, that Charles imparts. Also in Mark 8:36, "For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?"

Alan made soup from the leftover turkey bits; and it smelled delicious throughout our home! We enjoyed his savoury soup for dinner! If you wish, you can refer to my post of 'Turkey Soup is good for the soul', Jan 03/08.

Earlier in the day, Alan gave tids of turkey leftovers to some 'street people'. They were naturally appreciative; however, more so, because the food was FRESH! He says: 'Do unto others, as you would have them do unto you'. If you wish, you can refer to my post of December 23rd, 'Christmas Reflections'.

Hope this has been a bit of an uplift, and that some of you may wish to 'Seek Him' out; as He is our Best Advocate in everything! The above photo image is of a White Dove; the White Dove, being the symbol of PEACE!

Tidbit - Be thankful and appreciative for your Daily Blessings. 'Praise Him In ALL Things'.

Bittid - Have a genuine compassion and a humble empathy for others. Methinks, this particular Christmas has been an extra 'special' one; and has meant more, to many people around the world!

Good Night and God Bless.
