'Garden' tidbits

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

It is a gorgeous summer day and we are very Thankful for our Blessings. We have much to be thankful for and when there are challenging circumstances, just remember to "Praise Him In ALL Things'. Also being genuinely grateful for whatever Blessings are bestowed upon you. We are appreciative too, that it is the weekend again; and we are going to simply enjoy being at home and in our tidbit 'garden'.

The last few weeks have been 'a slice' shall we say; yet we have experienced many ephifanies and have reflected upon their positive outcomes. Very recently, we had a situation that needed a decision; and it would have been so easy to have gone 'tit for tat'. We would have been totally 'justified' had we reacted the way we wished; however, in our hearts of hearts, we knew that we had to do our best to be proactive, instead of reactive. I 'called upon' Him for His Guidance and Direction and the Solution was SIMPLE. 'Act swiftly with Grace, Honour, and Truth'. It is said, that the 'Truth Sets You Free' - well, it does, indeed. At the same time, the other individuals are doing themselves more of a disservice; and it is not for us to 'Judge' them or their behaviour. Best to leave it ALL to Him (Jesus Christ) as, 'He IS the Way, the Truth, and the Light'.

Have been fighting a wee bit of a bug; however, it will soon pass. Alan is starting to feel a tid better; he has had a nasty head cold for about a week.

Our veggies in our bittid garden / patio, are thriving! We are really delighting in our fresh produce this summer; and herbs add such a tasty zest to one's meal. There is nothing nicer than fresh grown home produce!

Once again, the Vision Channel will be beckoning to us on Sunday morning. ie. The 'Hour of Power' (Dr. Robert Schuller - www.hourofpower.org or wwww.hourofpower.ca); 'Enjoying Everyday Life' (Joyce Meyer - www.joycemeyer.org); and 'Living Truth' (Charles Price - www.livingtruth.ca). For those of you who wish to 'Seek and Ye Shall Find', you can tune into these wonderful International Bible Teachers. You, like us, may find their teachings / messages to be both enlightening and encouraging in your daily walk.

It is amazing what happens when you genuinely 'Let Him into your Heart'. By simply inviting Him in, He will NEVER leave you. Each morning, before I get up out of our bed, I ask for the Holy Spirit to indwell within me and to be my Guide and Solace. I Pray for Understanding, GOOD things to happen, for Blessings in Abundance, His Protection (ie the Full Armour of God); and also to help uplift whomever I meet in the course of a day. Be it by a smile, a gentle word, and / or a random act of kindness. You feel much more alive, when you Pray for a positive outlook and place / focus your Trust upon Him.

Tidbit - An upbeat tidbitz thought just hit me! When there is upheaval, uproar, and / or you feel as if you are being 'upchucked on'; just turn to Him to uplift your spirits; and ask Him to carry your burdens. He does!

Bittid - 'Laugh and the world laughs with you'. Weep and you weep alone'. My Dad used to share those bittidz words with me; and it is true.

Love the vivacious photo image! Pretty soon, we will be enjoying bittids of fresh cherry tomatoes, sweet basil, and other veggies / garden herbs from our garden. When the temperatures are warm, salads, cold soups, etc. taste all the more delicious! Plus, you feel that much healthier!

Here is wishing you a nice Friday and upcoming weekend.

Peace and God Bless.
