Skal to Saturday evening!


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

Am glad it is the weekend; when our weary bodies and minds can have a bit of R & R; as this past week has literally 'zoom zoom zoomed' by us!

Am referring to the quoted paragraphs from last Sunday's ' Blessings' post of January 25th, and even more recent posts, to recap for you. Methinks it is better to post tidbits sooner, rather than the bittids later; and thus not play 'catch up!' Besides, for those interested, it is better for you, to check into them; if you wish more knowledge of Him; and / or to be gently uplifted in spirit. I really enjoy sharing a bit of their fresh and inspirational teachings; as I feel it is a genuine obligation to share -'Seek and Ye Shall Find' (see photo image!) with others; particularly during these tid times! However, because tomorrow is Sunday, I am going to give you their welcoming websites. 'Hour of Power- www.hourofpower.org; 'Enjoying Everyday Life' - www.joycemeyer.org; and 'Living Truth' - www.livingtruth.ca. They are on the Vision Channel, starting at 8:30 am - depending where your live. Am looking forward to watching and hearing their enlightening teachings tomorrow!

(Blessings! - Sunday, January 25/09 post)

"This morning I was up early, full of joyful anticipation for the 3 programs on the Vision Channel. Had my cup of coffee, mind, heart, pen and paper ready! (You can refer to yesterday's post for a bit of background, if you wish). I will share a few tidbitz thoughts within the week; however, to do yourselves the best bittidz, please tune into their wonderful teachings and messages of encouragement.

Will say, that on 'Hour of Power', there were some wonderful guest speakers! If you think you are having your challenges and thensome, please read about Patrick Henry Hughes, as per his courage and touching story; and you may rethink your situation(s) again. Also, Pastor Bill Hybels, from Willow Creek Community Church in Barrington, Illinois gives invaluable and genuine insights about 'taking a stand!' etc. Both Alan and I think Bill Hybels is a 'special' man; and a heartfelt 'thank you' goes out to him!

On 'Enjoying Everyday Life', Joyce Meyer basically shares about having a 'healthy self image and to get right with God.' Also 'to enjoy the journey along the way'; and 'the less you think about yourself, the happier you will be'. Best to check into her as well; she is great and right down to earth!

On 'Living Truth', Charles Price is starting a series on the 'dynamics of an effective Church'; as well as the dangers of a 'dead' Church. (ie Church of Sardis in Revelations). Eventhough, I have made bittid notes to post a tidbit or few, still best to check out his excellent teachings for yourselves! In other words, take the iniative to 'find out more', if you truly wish to gain more knowledge and Truth. I am currently reading 'Revelation Unveiled' by Tim LaHaye; very interesting and timely book!

Also, while we were watching 'Hour of Power', Alan commented that I had a 'rainbow' on my face! Of course, I could not see it; but he did! We have a beautiful cut crystal antique ashtray; and the brilliant sunshine that was streaming in through our front windows, created a prism and thus a rainbow! I LOVE rainbows; so that was another Blessing!"

Tidbit - Christ teaches us to live the other 6 week days, as you would reverence and appreciate a Sunday and its ministerial messages. When you chose to live daily according to His Will, you 'grow' (or 'blossom') in your Relationship with Him; and you are "Filled" with His Holy Spirit; giving you a CLARITY and a CALM. This bodes well for helping you overcome daily challenges etc.

Bittid - Have steadfast FAITH and DEPEND upon Him; leave it ALL to Him to GUIDE you; not relying on your own understandings. 'He IS the Way, the Truth, and the Light'.

We have just returned from being out for the afternoon. Our cupboard which was bare, is now bare no more! Went to Costco; and 'stocked up!' We are going to appreciate a nice quiet evening tonight at home.

Should mention too, that a classmate of mine, is in her final days with cancer; and most likely will be gone within the next very short while. That being the case, was awake thinking about her in the wee hours of the am; and ended up sending her and her family an email. As she is no longer up to see anyone, all of us school chums are individually emailing our 'goodbyes'; as 'Joan's' daughter suggested. 'Joan' can still hear; so her daughter reads to her. Very sad.

Our doorbell just rang; it was one of our older neighbours, who lives 'down the road' from us (made mention of them in one of my earlier posts). Her husband is dying (liver cancer) and things do not look too bright there either. She was returning 'Al's Soup'; because her husband, 'David' (who LOVED the soup smell!) can not physically stomach any food; save for a teaspoon of clear chicken broth. She is a 'vegetarian'; and our soup has meat in it. We have a couple of other neighbours, who love Alan's soup; so he will give them the large bowl!

Guess we should just appreciate each and every moment; as none of us know when our time is up. All the more important to now genuinely 'invite Him into your heart'; so that you will 'end up' eternally at His address.

As I was thinking that a glass of red wine would be 'nice', Alan brought me a glass of our South African wine. Love that wonderful wine! Tonight, we will be savouring 'Alan's mashed potatoes' with garlic, 'my Caesar Salad' creation, and 'Beef Wellington' from M & M's; a wonderful food speciality outlet, whereby you can purchase tasty pre-made delights; AND, at an excellent price! Think what you would be paying to enjoy the Beef Wellington at a restaurant; and / or buying all the ingredients to make it! All you need to do, is to throw the packaged dish in the oven and voila! Bon Appetit! Skal!

Hope you are enjoying a good weekend. Will also be posting 'Al's add ons'; pretty self explanatory methinks.

Good Night and God Bless.
