Friday Flowers!


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

Can not believe that it is Friday, all over again! Do not get me wrong; we are thankful it is Friday and the weekend again! It looks as if the weather is going to be wonderful as well!

It has been a full bit morning / afternoon thus far; and we have been working on various projects. Alan is currently having a meeting with someone right now, as I tid write. I have 'retreated' to my post; along with my elixir of coffee.

In yesterday's post, the picture also shows our beautiful wine glass with all the handpainted flowers on it. A very dear friend gave me a set of these 8 colourful glasses years ago; and we have 7 glasses left to date (unfortunately one broke). Whenever I drink from these magnificent glasses, I always have a smile and fond memories. The glasses were from a person very close to my heart; and as they say, 'Time heals all'. I went out with him for many years after my first marriage. However, it was not meant to be.

I met Alan in June 2002; and we are genuinely appreciative of one another, and that we 'found' each other. Not a tidbit day goes by, that we do not confirm our happy hearts with one another. It is very definitely a 'give and take' between us; and as I have mentioned in earlier posts, it is the 'combination' that works best. People can 'look good' together, BUT, there has to be more than just 'fluff' and a 'pretty face'. Methinks too, because of our Faith, we treat each other extra well, and we work towards good resolution. We have our bittid moments too (who doesn't?), but we just simply RELY upon Him for His Guidance and Direction; inasmuch as 'HE IS THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIGHT'. One can 'disagree'; but it is how one wisely chooses to 'agree to disagree', employing and enjoying the utmost diplomacy all the while. A good banter / dialogue comes to my mind! LOL! Anyway, enough of that bittidz. Perhaps some of this tidbitz is helpful. Communication is also vital. There would be a lot less misunderstandings, if things are just 'straight up' and upfront; and yet presented with a positive and truthful outlook. As they say, 'Keep It Simple' (or the KISS principle) works best!

Do not allow 'Doubt' or 'Fear' to enter your mind; or if it does, may it vanish, as quickly as it arrives. ie. Immediately turn to Him for Solution; 'Do not rely upon your own understanding'. It is written in Psalms, in the Bible, to 'Have Faith, Trust, and to be of Good Cheer, and that those who have total TRUST in Him, He will Provide!' That message really jumps into both my mind and my heart, when challenges and obstacles occur.

Once again, if you tune into 'Hour of Power' (Dr. Robert Schuller, www.hourofpower.org); 'Enjoying Everyday Life' (Joyce Meyer, www.joycemeyer.org); and 'Living Truth' (Charles Price, www.livingtruth.ca), their International Ministries / Bible teachings / insights are wonderfully uplifting and full of encouragement. 'Seek and Ye Shall Find!' Am looking forward to watching and listening to them on the Vision Channel this Sunday!

Here is wishing you a nice Friday and may your weekend be an extra special one for you!

Peace and God Bless.
