A 'spring' in your step!

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

Love this time of year; the freshness and newness of all that arrives with the season of Spring! Was up really early this am; and it was / is so peaceful; no sounds, no distractions etc. Also, whilst 'opening up the house', I 'Praised Him In ALL Things', as well as Asking Him to 'touch the hearts of all those whom we have been in contact with', and that we are anticipating 'good things' today! Plus, we have 'thrown everything' upon Him; as we are in His Hands.

Having just said this, I feel as if I am 'gliding' around our house on 'cloud nine'. We have a full day ahead of us; and methinks we (as per usual) will do our best to handle (with His Guidance) everything in stride. It is now just a matter of confirmation; and we simply have to 'wait' in these regards.

Also, am looking forward to enjoying fresh daffodils (and tulips) in our tid silver (freshly polished!) vase; as it will not be long, til we can pick them!

Last night, watched the movie, 'Saving Private Ryan'; and what a realistic depiction of how it must have been in those war torn days. I appreciate the movie more, having now seen it for the second time; many insights.

Have yet to listen / watch online to 'Hour of Power' (with Dr. Robert Schuller at www.hourofpower.org); however, I will before too long; and will share those tidbit thoughts re: 'Hour of Power', as well as 'Living Truth' (with Charles and Hilary Price at www.livingtruth.ca)within the next few days.

This morning will offer some bittid epifanies re: 'Enjoying Everyday Life' (with Joyce Meyer at www.joycemeyer.org); although, for you to gain the utmost knowledge and 'peace of mind' (and heart), it is still better if you (and / or others that you know of, who would appreciate a bit of encouragement from her teachings) tune into her website, or T.V. program, or via radio, for her insights and resources.

Joyce opens with, that we basically need to have more Joy (in the Lord) and LAUGH more! She makes mention again about the Biblical passage of John 5: 1-9. (You can refer to my March 28th post of 'Saturday reflections', as a bit of background). Joyce's comment: "Soul sickness is worse than physical sickness" is so true.

Personally, there are many people I know who are 'afflicted' with this issue; and unfortunately, they have 'become even more sour', with each passing year. I need say no more; save that in reality, they are hurting themselves more than us. Be it jealousy, pettiness, anger, being indignant, whatever....I know of what Joyce speaks and I heartily agree with her! In the past, I have 'tried' to 'help' some of them; however, I only 'enabled' and aggravated them all the more! When I finally and 'gently spoke up'; the epifany - that 'you can take a horse to water, but you can not make it drink'. (It has to choose to drink of its own accord, methinks). The sad thing is, those people are 'still the same', 'same old'; and RESISTANT to CHANGE; and that everything is "just 'fine', thank you". (Also, according to them, we have 'changed'; thus we are to 'blame'). Sound familiar to some of you? ie. if you have encountered jealousy, indignance, anger, pettiness, whatever....

Joyce says / sums it up best. ie. "A lot of times we are looking for somebody" (to fix our problems), "but not for God" to Help us. "Self pity is destructive". 'What about me? what about me?' limits / blinds us to our possibilities for the future; because we are so focused on 'what about me?'. Never thought about it; however, Joyce suggests that perhaps some of us may be 'offended or miffed by God' because of our troubling situations or lacking Purpose etc. She expresses simply: "Be a Witness for Jesus" (as to living your life His way). Also, here are some more Biblical passages to refer to: Matthew 11: 1 - 4; and 2 Kings 7: 3. I read a tidbitz more verses; and Joyce adds, 'Take a chance and do not be afraid! Rise up and take some action! Faith is active'. Her DVD - 'You've Got what it takes'; and her book, 'Are you ready for a change?' methinks are wonderful resources / gifts!

Tidbit - Do your best to have a daily 'spring in your step'. (You can refer to 'Fresh face, fresh cheer, and fresh courage!' March 29th post).

Bittid - 'Seek and Ye Shall Find'.

Love the above photo image of the daffodils and the empowering message.

Need to tackle some bittidz. Hope you enjoy some Blessings today!

God Bless.
