Fireside Blessings

Good Evening!

Enjoyed a really nice tidbitz visit with our good friend. Also, she and her husband have invited us for next weekend to their summer cottage. If we are able to do it, we will enjoy and appreciate their generous hospitality. It sounds just 'what the doctor has ordered' - a kind invitation to spend a tidbit of time with good friends. We will have to leave our dear Blue with someone (we have a couple of good 'doggy' people in mind); because eventhough our friends are wonderful, they are not 'dog' crazy. We, on the other hand, take our 'pup' everywhere with us, and methinks as a result, he is exceptionally well behaved and a good travelling companion.

The photo is of our beloved fireplace and gorgeous screen, showing a great crackling fire of mature firewood, from our find, earlier in the year. Alan cheerfully made us a fire; which made the visit all the more 'special'. Also, a picture of our large lovely flowery wine glass; which holds a generous bittidz of wine. At the tid moment, it has stopped raining, and the sun is valiantly attempting to peer through the mass of clouds.

We also have some more of our Queen Elizabeth climbing pink roses coming into bittid bloom; so the lovely old antique silver vase which you see, will be filled with these beautiful roses before too long!

Tidbit - Appreciate your garden booty of fresh grown produce and flowers!

Bittid - Appreciate genuine 'generosity of spirit' / from the heart invitations.

As mentioned in the earlier bit post of today, we are expecting to hear some news tomorrow; or certainly in the near future. We have various 'irons in the fire'; and this is where we have to 'keep our heads cool', and have the 'patience' to simply 'wait' and TRUST in Him to Provide the Solution. We have done all the preliminaries / 'jumping through hoops', and thus, we are Relying upon Him; and not upon our own understanding, to 'Show us the Way'.

It has been a good day today, of good cheer! As mentioned in yesterday's post, always good to have a 'quiet time with Him' - ie. at the start of the day etc. When you expect good things to happen to you and others - ie Blessings (which He wants us all to have in abundance!), more often than not, the outcome is positive. There are always 'lessons to be learned' along the way; and the experiences gained, simply make you a 'stronger' person.

'Skal' with a glass of wine left from this afternoon!

Peace and God Bless.
