Enjoying rest and refuge


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

My most recent post, 'Thankful moments', was October 22nd. Eventhough a few bittid days have passed since then, we are still experiencing 'Thankful moments!' Friday and Saturday went by in a 'whir'; and today has been a complete day of 'rest'. Was enlightened with more tidbit ephifanies from the Vision Channel this morning. ie. 'Hour of Power', 'Enjoying Everyday Life', and 'Living Truth'. I watched appreciatively from our bed, along with my much needed elixir cup of coffee, that Alan made for me. I was grateful for staying put this Sunday morning; it was a peaceful 'sanctuary', if you will.

It has been pouring 'cats and dogs' today; so it is a great day to be at home. Will share a 'dog tidbitz' with you in another post; which is about our Blue. On 'Hour of Power', there is a compelling dog story; and for those of you interested, to access it sooner, here is the website - www.hourofpower.org.

Have to admit, that with the past few weeks, we have had some 'extraordinary' challenges; and yet, He has helped us to valiantly TRIUMPH and OVERCOME them. He has already WON. ie. 'Fear Not, For I have OVERCOME the World'. He is our ADVOCATE; and we are taking a bittidz of a 'rest' today. He is PROVIDING us with a restful REFUGE; so that our batteries are 'recharged'; and we are reassured, knowing He IS our Provider. We are enjoying the moments (they are all special moments; it is what you make of them) of today; and tomorrow will take care of itself. He does not want us to 'worry', have 'angst',or 'doubts', or 'fears.' He SIMPLY WANTS us to just give Him TODAY; and not to fret about tomorrow or yesterday (which has already gone).

My son is coming over tonight for dinner and to watch the hockey game with us. It will be refreshing to see him. We went out a bit earlier, and purchased a bottle of red wine (South African!) and some beer (for the game), along with fresh veggies and fruit, and then the dessert, last but not least! LOL! The dessert took us to our local mall; and the vanilla ice cream was a 2/3 savings! Also, at the nearby bakery; the chap (not normally there on Sundays); was most pleasant and gave us a wonderful break on the large lemon meringue pie. LOVE LEMON MERINGUE PIE! He was saying that eventhough, he has lowered his prices, he has MORE customers! To Alan and I, that makes total economic sense (economies of scale); and, it was so inspirational to meet a new and likeminded friend!

Tomorrow, we have an early start. However, we are thoroughly ENJOYING today. Be of GOOD CHEER! Also, when someone asks you, 'How are you?' For fun, joyfully and confidently reply with: 'Never better!'; regardless of your tid circumstances. Very interesting, what next takes place - all positive! I have shared a few tidbits re: 'Never Better' in some past posts. ie. "Never Better!" (1/7/08); and "'Never Better' always stick in my mind!"(1/8/08), if you wish some background.

Love the above picture I took a few days ago, of our pink orchids (birthday gift from Alan); it still is blooming fantastically and magnificently brightens up our cosy living room! To think that God created the Universe in six days! Wow! And to create such beautiful flowers such as this, is an awesome Blessing!

Here is wishing you a nice weekend for what is left of it.

Good Night, Peace, and God Bless.
