A thankful heart

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

Another beautiful 'Indian Summer' / Autumn day with all its magnificent colourful splendour!

We watched the Vision Channel this morning and once again, three illuminating programs - 'Hourofpower' - www.hourofpower; 'Enjoying Everyday Life' - www.joycemeyer.org; and 'Living Truth' - www.livingtruth.ca are full of insightful teachings of the Bible.

Early this morning, I had some quiet Prayer 'dialogue' with Him. Thanking Him again for all our Blessings; Thanking Him for His encouraging words / 'whispers' / thoughts, "REST in Me; for I AM within you". Plus Thanking Him for daily taking care of us; and that NO problems are ever too big for God to handle. Also some more bit tidbits of enlightenment came to me - "Be Calm, Be Cool, Be STEADFAST, Fear Not, Do Not Be Afraid, I am with you every step of the way; and I am Providing your needs. BE UP". I thought, 'Wow!'

'Hour of Power' is empowering, as Robert Schuller Snr shares his impactful and positive message about 'Living the FULL Life'. Also, Austin Gutwein, is an awesome encouragement to people of all ages. You are never too young to envision a dream and to be an ongoing fruition in His Service and helping others. Austin began his calling at age nine, and at fifteen, is changing many lives for the better.

'Enjoying Everyday Life' is also FULL of encouragement towards a 'new life', when you genuinely embrace Christ, as the centre of your life. Methinks, it is best to listen to / watch her broadcast; as she provides wonderful inspiration and educational resources to learn more about the Word of God, and to enjoy a personal relationship with Him. Ask Him to Guide you, and receive and use the 'gifts' He has Given you. It is so tempting at times, to choose the 'easy way out'; however, not to compromise integrity for a quick fix. The path might not be easy, but know that God has a Good Plan for you; because He LOVES YOU unconditionally; and, God IS LOVE. 'Forgiveness is the beginning of all healing; when you RECEIVE God's forgiveness.'

In my 'Morning Blessings!' October 3rd post, I mentioned about a 'decision' that Alan and I are pondering; and I quote: "We have been presented with a recent resolution; but it is not necessarily in our best interest; not even for the short term. Although, tempting. However, we have been Asking Him for His Guidance, Understanding, Power of Discernment, Clarity, Wisdom to help us make the 'right' and viable choice(s). We do have various tidbitz 'irons in the fire'; and more options will be revealed early week." This dovetailed with Joyce's message about not 'taking the easy way out'; NO coincidence here, folks! This is yet another ephifany for me!

Last but not least, 'Living Truth', with Charles Price, who gives Alan and I such a refreshing yet solid teaching. Best for those of you who wish to know more, tune into his website. Here is one of the tid bittids from today's message. "We surrender ourselves to the fullness of the Holy Spirit, not as an event but as a day by day by day relationship with Him and we find that no matter what you are facing, no matter what situation you are in, no matter what hardships you face, there will be a deep deep satisfaction". Charles shares that each day is a fresh new day; and when you are satisfied by God, you are a Blessing to others. Another ephifany!

Tidbit - Appreciate and Be Thankful for your Blessings, and enjoy one day at a time. 'Keep things simple', and make the best of it; as each day is like a FRESH NEW canvas.

Bittid - RELY upon Him to Guide your Daily Walk; as, 'He IS the Way, the Truth, and the Life'. 'The Truth sets you free'.

Peace and God Bless.
