Blessings abound!


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

It has been a GREAT day thus far; eventhough it is raining fiercely and dismally overcast.

Want to share something with you. I said an Intercessary Prayer to Him just before I woke up this morning. It was primarily for a good friend; and inasmuch as we have not walked in his shoes; we must have compassion and empathy for him, for whatever bittid situation he is in.

We have not heard back from him for a few months; and he was one of the major tidbit keys to our business plan. We thought it strange that he had not returned our calls; and eventhough we were disappointed, we thought there has to be a reason! Anyway, two minutes after my Prayer, there was his email on the computer! Unfortunately, he has been in a severe depression for about three to four months; and he was not able to handle anything; and, I mean anything! However, he really is thankful that we (albeit persistent) have been patient; and that we have helped him more than we will ever know. Those words are heartwarming; and also he is coming 'out of the darkness'. However, he 'came through' with his evaluation; which means we can take this tid to the banks.

Well, not to the banks at the moment; because they are still hoarding their received monies to improve their 'bottom line'; rather than helping clients, that the original funds were designated for! ie Freezing credit, and not lending to anyone. We have since gone with another source; who thinks 'outside the box'; MACRO thinking; not MICRO thinking. Like what would happen if no one ever took a risk and never thought 'outside the box?'. Well, most of us know deep down the answer to that one; NOTHING would ever happen!!!

Also, one of the banks in the U.S. (will not mention their name); suffice to say they are linked with a company here. They contacted us; and I pretty much expressed to the institution that they have their nerve trying to 'collect money' (which we are honouring as best as possible); when THEY (and others) have caused this financial domino effect to begin with! That we have been caught as 'innocent bystanders'; as have others; and that I wanted my comments on record; and that their company, plus the one affiliated here, should know what 'the left and the right hand are doing'. By the time I had 'finished' with him, he meekly asked if he cculd go; I said, yes fine...but I would like my comments on record! Like, please 'catch the penny'. Which now makes me think, that there should be NO BONUSES given during these tough financial times. If there are 'spare' bonuses, then put them back to stimulate the economy!

Tidbit - Do not be afraid to 'think outside the box'. Stick with your dreams; and do not let anyone or any institutions talk you out of it! Prayer really helps! Provided that you are genuinely Asking Him for His Guidance, Words of Wisdom, and Understanding!

Bittid - Take a stand for what is right; do not be compromised and settle for less than the TRUTH. If you do not, you will be enabling others to 'control, manipulate, and deceive' you.

We also won $70.00; and eventhough it may be considered a 'small bittidz', we appreciate the tidbitz. We have not received all our accounts receivable either; and unfortunately, those poor people have also been 'innocent bystanders'.

Am going to give you again the following websites: 'Hour of Power' with Dr. Robert Schuller (www.hourofpower.org), 'Enjoying Everyday Life' with Joyce Meyer (www.joycemeyer.org), and 'Living Truth' with Charles Price (www.livingtruth.ca). Personally it is best if you check into their wonderful insights and teachings; in the event you would like to know more. They offer such encouragement and empowering knowledge. I could not help but think of 'Nick' (a guest on Hour of Power) with his 'verve'; when I 'verved' to the institution in question, that they have their 'nerve'. Verve is a very good and appropriate word, methinks!

We have a full afternoon coming up, well into this evening; as well as for tomorrow (Friday again!). On Saturday, we are going to a Memorial Service / Wake for our friend that I made mention of in my March 7th post -'Appreciating Special Moments'. Also my 2 bit posts of March 8th - 'Spring Forward!' and 'Being on Cloud Nine is good!' may also offer you some tidbits.

Had a solid sound sleep last night; methinks any remaining bittids of a flu bug, are gone!

'Praise Him In ALL Things!' Love the photo image; and its uplifting message!

Peace and God Bless.
