Green and peaceful


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

Already the 4th of March! The tid days are flying by us; and we are looking forward to seeing Spring! It is exciting to see all the new life budding all around us! We were up early today; and have made a number of key phone calls; as well as continuing in the process of 'brainstorming' new tidbit options.

Want to share some bittids of my appreciation for Joyce Meyer's insights re: 'Enjoying Everyday Life'. You can refer to yesterday's post, if you wish. Joyce and her guest, Pastor Phil Pringle, who is an artist and a writer, from Sydney Australia, were / are talking about the 'healing of the wounded spirit'. One of the four kinds of wounds, is where one's trust is broken and thus one needs a wholeness'. Phil's book, 'Healing the Broken Spirit', as well as Joyce's new book, available April 1st -'Never Give Up', are excellent resources to turn to for 'TLC' encouragement.

Joyce also tells the heartwrenching story about a girl named Valerie, who had tried to kill herself at age 19 years; as she had been molested by her Dad for fifteen years. She thought God hated her, as a result! Can you imagine? She had been placed in an institution; and years later, on a 'day pass', was sexually attacked. Back she went to the mental institution for another 5.5 years. She ended up writing a book, 'Managing Your Emotions'; and once 'she stopped blaming God, she started receiving Him'. Hence, with a new lease on her life, because of accepting Him into her heart, 'she now teaches and gives back to others'; and I think that is so noble. Good on her!

Joyce also went on to share that 'if you hang out with 'toxic' Christians, we react everytime, like an infected cut'. She then adds: 'The cut is sewed up by forgiveness', thus healing the wounded. 'TRUST Him and instead of asking Him 'Why?' (re: circumstances etc), simply say, "Okay, I Trust You, and I believe You can do something GOOD with this". "The devil is always trying to get us to compromise". Instead, 'keep the flow' (of the Holy Spirit working within and through you) and 'always do your best'.

Tidbit -When you are in a bittid 'spiritual battle', just keep on trekking; as He IS your Advocate! He has already WON! Here is Joyce's wonderful website again; well worth checking into! www.joycemeyer.org.

Bittid - Also, Robert Schuller Jr, who, in his insightful message with 'Hour of Power', says: "When you are down to nothing, you know He is up to something! Meaning He is up to something GOOD for you!". I keep hearing those majestic words or 'whispers'; and a patient peace, a comfort, and a confident calm infills me. During these uncertain times, one needs all the more, to remain positive and upbeat; having the focused Hope, Faith, and Trust in Him; and that you will 'weather the storm' with His Help, Guidance and Grace.

Tonight, we are going to enjoy further 'Costco benefits' of a delicious green Caesar type of salad, along with a cheese omelette and a bittidz of tasty seasonings. A glass of South African red wine as well! ('Skal' in advance re: our 'International' dinner!) As mentioned in the February 28th post, 'A calculator can save you money, when you shop!' I just added the 'title' now for that particular bit post; as I forgot to, in my enthusiasm for Costco and its tidbitz savings!

Tomorrow, I will share some tidbits re: 'Living Truth' with Charles Price. I love the above photo image; have enjoyed displaying it in some of my past posts. It looks very peaceful and so green! Spring and warmer weather is around the corner!

Here is wishing you all peace, Good Night, and God Bless.
