Be of Faith, Joy, Hope, and Grace

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

Tonight, this is just going to be a short bittid post. My apologies; but we have not been home long since the Memorial Service for our family friend. There were over 1000 people in attendance; and the tribute to her was grand! She was a very special person; and she is an inspiration to us all, that will live on. She has left a tremendous legacy! We 'celebrated' her life today; and while the speakers were sharing their memories / stories, I noticed a huge 'golden light' that was being reflected from the palatial suspending hanging lamps via the high glass skylights. It was incredible! I do not know if anyone else noticed; but it was almost blinding; and yet so full of glorious comfort!

No further bittidz details about her sad death; save that once today passes, I am Prayful that the killer(s) will be hunted down, found, and brought to justice. If it was a 'random act'; perhaps the killer(s) will never be found; hardest case to unravel and solve, as it has been revealed by forensics. However, the police, as mentioned in a recent tidbit post, are keeping a very 'tight lid on things'. Here is hoping that they will continue to find and build up concrete evidence; and that it is just a matter of tidbitz time, that the culprit(s) is identified.

Tidbit - For all you 'joggers', never walk or jog alone (women in particular!) and, preferably, do not wear head phones covering your ears! Save the music to listen to and enjoy when you return home safe and sound! There was a 'run' yesterday; to 'take back the park'; well attended by at least 1000 people. Apparently, there will be future 'companion runs' to encourage ongoing use of the park, without fear; and yet with other companions.

Bittid - One never knows what they have lost, until it is gone. That is generally true. And yet, a lot of us know that our friend was a very special human being, who had the Gift of Grace and impacted us all.

Am going to go and enjoy a glass of South African red wine, prior to our dinner, of wonderful home-made tomato soup that Alan has created; it smells so delicious throughout our house. (You can refer to an earlier bit post for the recipe; am not able to locate it at the tid moment). Perfect repas for a nasty dark night like tonight! Plus, after the Service, we nibbled on squares, cookies, fresh fruit & healthy veggie dips, and imbibed on coffee, water, or punch. Beautiful voices in songs, along with gorgeous Spring flowers everywhere! She had a deep love for Spring, for nature, and for her garden; and, it was an enlightening event and courageous 'celebration' of her passionate life, that touched so many hearts.

Am looking forward to watching the Vision Channel tomorrow morning: - 'Hour of Power', wwww.hourofpower.org; 'Enjoying Everyday Life', www.joyce meyer.org; and 'Living Truth', www.livingtruth.ca (Charles and Hilary Price are in the Holy Land; and tomorrow will be their 4th out of five teaching sessions! How majestic to be in the Holy Land at this significant time, where it all began! WOW!

Also the silver vase (yesterday's post, 'Imagination and Celebration of Life'), has now been polished up; and what an illuminating difference it makes; particularly with the freshly picked daffodils, Alan 'rescues' on his walks!

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