Enjoying each day!


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

Here we are at Friday again; just like that! It has been a 'mixed bag' for this week; and my post of February 22nd, 'A calm, restful, and joyful Sunday!' has quite a few tidbits to offer, for your information. Methinks, that we should live every day of the week, as if it were a Sunday. ie in our behaviour, attitude, and conduct. Life would be a lot simpler and more enjoyable!

Wanted to make reference to 'Hour of Power'; re; the 2 guest speakers that Dr. Robert Schuller had on the program. Bill Dallas was in the San Quentin prison for 2.5 years; had had quite the life, made a few bad decisions; and he has written a book as a tribute. 'Lessons from San Quentin', which ultimately I will read and add to our bookshelf, and give to someone else to read at the appropriate moment. He says 'that everything he needed to learn about life, is in this book'. Bill Dallas had been encouraged by 'The Possiblility Institute' / thinking by Dr. Robert Schuller, as well as being introduced into a group of 'Young Lifers' (murderers, the whole 9 yards); and that was when he accepted Jesus Christ into his heart. He served his time, is now married, and his life is 'back on track'. It is never too late! He also brought two of his 'brothers' with him to 'Hour of Power'. Am sure their lives have been further enriched as well, as mine.

Also, Bridgette Bentley sang; wonderful gifted voice! There is nothing like a bit of music to brighten your day, methinks! So good for the soul!

The second speaker was Bishop Charles E. Blake; and he and Dr. Schuller have been friends for thirty nine years! That is a long time; and good on them! That is what makes for extra 'special and wonderful friendships'. I had made reference to his teachings about OVERCOMING negatives -ie. circumstances, emotions (February 22nd post). Best if you read about him in www.hourofpower.org for yourselves, to receive the full benefit or perhaps his website. He is the Pastor of Church of God, in West Angeles.

Also, here are some passages from the Bible (referred to in 'Hour of Power;), that you might like to refer to:

Psalm 18:1-6; Proverbs 18:14; Psalm 46: 1 & 2; Romans 8:28; Peter 5:7; Jeremiah 33;3; Isaiah 40: 25,29-31. I LOVE that last verse: "But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint."

'Enjoying Everyday Life', with Joyce Meyer is also 'special'. Made mention of what it takes to put on a program; as also, per my February 22nd post. There is a lot of work behind the scenes; and yet what an invigorating event, when it all comes together! He wants us all to ENJOY our lives; and, as Joyce says, "I'm going to the Party!". (I'm with her!). Why be constantly depressed, down, etc. When you tune into her - www.joycemeyer.org. you will enjoy a greater understanding and appreciation for her invaluable insights, that in turn, will enlighten you.

'Living Truth' with Charles Price, Alan and I shared some bittids in the same February 22nd post; which once again, best to do your own due diligence and check out www.livingtruth.ca for clarity and knowledge. Here are some passages from the Bible for you to take a look at, if you wish. Ephesians 4: 7-8 & 11-16; Exodus 4:10-13; Jeremiah 1:15; Galatians 1:15; and Book of Acts. Charles referred to them, when he was sharing his message.

Am looking forward to the weekend; and I always LOVE watching and listening to the Vision Channel on Sunday. Hope this gives you all a tid of encouragement; particularly during these tougher times. This morning is gorgeous; sunshine and not a cloud in the bright blue sky! Chilly yes; but a refreshing morning!

Was up a few times during the night; was not feeling my bittidz best; so had a slower start this morning. Alan is working on our other option (you can refer to yesterday's post, if you wish a tidbitz). However, am about to go and cheerfully do the overdue vacumming, dusting, and 'shine up' the bathrooms. Nothing like having a clean house!

I love the above photo image; and its inspiring message! The daffodils and tulips are bursting forth; and eventhough we had snow yesterday, methinks Spring will be here soon! We have much to be thankful for; and 'Praise Him In All Things'.

Will keep you posted of any tids and bits. Here is wishing you a nice Friday and weekend!

Peace and God Bless.
