Thankful moments


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

Can not believe that three days have 'zoomed zoomed zoomed' by us! We have been putting our 'noses to the grindstone' with the various tidbitz tasks we have had to accomplish, as well as overcoming some bittidz unexpected challenges.

May have mentioned that we thought we had an agreement (verbal); but the individual 'turned'; and so we have been doing our utmost to take care of things. There are now other options afoot, that we have looked into; and looking back on hindsight, this may be an even better solution. He DOES HAVE A GOOD PLAN!

Tidbit - 'He IS the Way, the Truth, and the Life'. He has already WON; so when He says: 'Fear Not, For I have OVERCOME the world', right on! He has helped us immeasurably; one day at a time, I might add; even if it is little steps at a time. Total TRUST in Him is paramount!

Bittid - Verbal agreements / 'gentlemanly agreements' does not appear to be honoured anymore. Or at least, they are 'few and far between'. My Dad did everything on a 'gentleman agreement'. His word was his word. SIMPLE. However, now, it is best to get everything in writing; confirming after a verbal agreement is 'discussed', to then clarify with assured integrity.

From experience, I do believe in 'comupence'; and / or 'what goes around, comes around', as the expression goes. The GOOD thing is, He already sees and knows what is going on; and Alan and I are leaving the FIGHT to Him to Resolve. As I mentioned earlier, He HAS ALREADY WON! Alan and I have FAITH, HOPE, and TRUST that He will Provide an even better Solution!

Also, 'The TRUTH sets you free'. In the tid meantime, we have been 'working around the clock', with putting our projects together; regardless of the latest display of predatorial greed and dishonour. We have PRAYED for the Holy Spirit to indwell within us, and to 'touch the hearts' of all those He has put us in touch with. ALL in ACCORDANCE WITH HIS WILL, HIS PURPOSE, AND HIS PLAN. We TRUST, that He has a GOOD PLAN for us; THUS, we are enthusiastically expecting a magnificent BREAKTHROUGH! (Am thinking anytime soon, would be nice! LOL!) However, we must 'WAIT upon the Lord'.

We have also received GOOD news on other fronts; more about that a bit later.

Also today, we bought a lottery ticket for tomorrow. The florist shop owner (now a friend), we purchased it from, told us that he is looking forward to receiving a 1% (of the $30 million lotto win) from us! He has never said that before to us; and in this case (a verbal agreement), we shook hands on it! SHOULD IT BE TO 'OUR GOOD FORTUNE'(as my uncle says), I would have no problem GIVING him the $300K. Absolutely not! His life would definitely be changed for the better. He is in his mid 80's, and he has worked extremely hard all his life. My heart goes out to him; and I believe in 'spreading the wealth'. HOWEVER, utlizing it with GRACE, WISDOM, UNDERSTANDING, UNDER HIS GUIDANCE (The Holy Spirit) TO being GOOD STEWARDS with that type of monumental Blessing.

Yes, I am rambling on; but whatever; it has been an interesting time.... Alan just poured me a glass of white (South African) vino; and it is wonderfully hitting the spot. SKAL! According to our florist friend, someone won the second prize in the lotto (purchased from his store) and the man 'promised' to give him something should he win; but he did not honour his word. Our friend is more upset at the fact that the person did not keep their promise or word. If he did not say anything, fine. Made me think of the harsh situation / storm we have ENDURED very recently.

Yesterday, I went to bed at approx 4:30 pm. Was exhausted (not complaining; or not meaning to) and ended up watching some British soaps. I had never seen these particular shows before; and they were highly amusing. British Humour! That was / is a tidbit of a Godsend! Also, I kept hearing the thoughts 'REST, and REST IN ME'. He is our REFUGE AND OUR STRENGTH. That is just 'what the doctor ordered', methinks!

There are times when it is good to 'step back', and simply recharge one's bittid batteries. I did that yesterday afternoon / early evening, and am grateful I did REST. Today has been a full day; and tomorrow, we have an early start. We are hopeful to having everything 'wrapped up' within the next week or so.

Have not forgotten about sharing some bittids re: 'Hour of Power', 'Enjoying Everyday Life', and 'Living Truth' and I will, soon. Wonderful inspirational insights about 'Breakthroughs' and Trust in Him, were imparted last Sunday on the Vision Channel. Not to just listen to / heed / hear counsel for just one day; it is for each and every day thereafter; to Follow Him, totally Trust, and Rely genuinely upon Him. Here are the three encouraging websites again, for those of you, who want to know / understand more!- www.hourofpower (Dr. Robert Schuller); www.joycemeyer.org (Joyce Meyer); and www.livingtruth.ca (Charles Price).

Pizza (from Costco) is cooking in our oven; and I love the delicious smell permeating our home. Mmmmmm. Alan creates such a savoury meal, addiing a tid of this, and a bit of that. LOL! Eventhough, I like cooking, I am very thankful Alan enjoys cooking so much! (I have been spoiled rotten!) We, indeed, have many Blessings to be Grateful for! 'Praise Him in ALL Things'.

Hope some of these tidbits have been an uplift to you; and / or to others you know, that might appreciate a lift during these tougher times.

Love the above photo image; that will be Alan and I appreciatively tonight!

Until tomorrow. Good night.

Peace and God Bless.
