Blooms and Blessings in abundance!


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

Embraced the inspirational 'epifanies' on the Vision Channel this morning, as well as appreciating a tasty tid 'brunch' prepared by Alan, that we enjoyed out on our patio. It has turned into a beautiful sunny afternoon; and summer is still very much here, methinks!

On 'Hour of Power', Dr. Robert Schuller Prayfully shares about Trusting God and that God is our Shield. I missed the first few minutes; however, was glad to have heard those wonderful words, as they invigorated my spirits. We have a number of 'irons in the fire'; and we are Trusting Him (Jesus Christ) to Provide Solution. Dr. Schuller's message came right at the right moment, and were like 'music to my ears!'
Thank you, Dr. Schuller! Also heard the Hymn,'In Ages Past'; love that song!

Guest, Bill Dallas, author of the book, 'Lessons from San Quentin' tells of his experiences and of other inmates in the prison. Bill was sharing that 'everything that he needed to learn about life, he learned in prison'. Dr. Schuller's wise words, 'tough times never last; but tough people do' struck a heartfelt chord within Bill; and these words helped him get through the tough moments of the 2.5 years he was there. There was a 'miraculous transformation amongst the prisoners', as their hearts had not hardened with their circumstances. Methinks, it is best for those interested in hearing / learning more, here is 'Hour of Power' website - www.hourofpower.org.

Another guest on 'Hour of Power', Pastor Mark Driscoll, enthusiastically validates Jesus Christ; and he 'is on fire' with his encouraging teachings about Him! Worth listening too, as well! I am like a 'sponge' soaking up the messages!

Will share a few bittids about 'Enjoying Everyday Life' (Joyce Meyer - www.joycemeyer.org) and 'Living Truth' (Charles Price - www.livingtruth.ca) within the next few days. Once again, for those of you who wish to 'Seek and Ye Shall Find', best to tune into their websites to receive more direct knowledge.

Joyce and her guest, Dr. Don Colbert (author of 'Stress Less'), enlighten us as to how to relieve stress. Basically, if we are led by the Holy Spirit, there is less stress!

Charles' empowering message, 'What is it in your hand?' is paralleling the story of Moses; and how Moses gave God his 'staff' The question being, 'Do we give up the 'staff' and let God work through us?' Or, do we not give up the 'staff' and keep it for our own purposes? If it is right, God will give us back the 'staff'; if not, He has an even better plan for us.

It is a great day; and we "Praise Him in All Things'. We all have many Blessings to be thankful for! Just took the picture of our two healthy hibiscus plants; with their exquisite blooms. These flowers are one of His ongoing majestic creations! Wow!

Hope this is a bit of an uplift, to all those who read this post! Enjoy your day!

Peace and God Bless.
