Rest



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

Glad it is the weekend! (again! LOL!) Just returned from taking our Blue out for his morning constitution, in the pouring rain. Ran into a few neighbours along the way. Funny, I had been thinking about these two separate neighbours; so by seeing them was / is no coincidence! Our walk was that much more enjoyable, after chatting with them in the rain! Blue and I are now really appreciating our warm and dry abode; Blue having been fed his breakfast, and me, with my elixir of coffee! It is a perfect tidbitz day to stay indoors, 'Rest' (in Him), and reflect upon our Blessings, He has Given us. Alan is still sound asleep; however, rest is what is needed to encourage a strong recovery. Alan literally has to have his leg raised up on pillows; and thus, is quite limited for the next few days.

We 'jumped through some more hoops' on Thursday and Friday; and alas, more delays; due to bittidz errors and some ommisions created by the professional responsible. We have asked for the worthy ammendments; so things are still 'in limbo'. We are hopeful, however, that by Monday / Tuesday, our concerns will be put to right (or to 'rest').

We are just stepping back and taking some tid 'time out'. We are leaving it all to Him to work everything through, According to His Will, His Purpose, and His Plan. I know He has a good Plan for each and every one of us. Even this latest 'mix up', may prove to be a better Plan! Alan and I have a positive outlook; and hence, 'Praise Him In ALL Things'.

Tidbit - Best to just keep 'on trekking'; and never give up. Simply RELY upon Him to 'show you the way'; and while you wait for His Direction and Guidance, be of GOOD CHEER and enjoy each and every day, as it unfolds.

Bittid - There are 'reasons' for delays; and they may even be 'Blessings in disguise'. Plus, at the end of the day, when you give Him genuine Thanks for having made it through the day, you will enjoy a peaceful night's rest. He does not want us to be 'angst' or fret about tomorrow; and yesterday has already passed; so it is the PRESENT - ie. TODAY, that we must appreciatively focus on. Christ wants us to FOCUS upon Him, and to give Him our best, one day at at a time, on a day by day basis. Far less stress when you daily release all your Burdens upon Him, and let Him Provide you with the 'restful refuge' of Solution.

Hope this gives you some tidbits of encouragement. Also, am looking forward to watching the Vision Channel tomorrow morning; as they offer such wonderful insights and solid Biblical teachings. ie. 'Hour of Power' (Dr. Robert Schuller - www.hourofpower.org); 'Enjoying Everyday Life' (Joyce Meyer - www.joycemeyer.org); and 'Living Truth' (Charles Price - www.livingtruth.ca). Will share some bittids from their uplifting programs; but methinks, it is better for you, to tune into them (and other ministries), for your own personal bit of clarity and understanding. Also, if you wish, you can refer to yesterday's tidbit post and / or some earlier posts, to give you a bittid of background.

Here is wishing you a nice 'R & R ' weekend. Am looking forward also, to lighting a fire and curling up with a good book. ie. The Bible! Plus, our Blueheeler, Blue, ('His Royal Highness', we xometimes refer to him as! LOL!) will be snuggling up beside me on the sofa as well. Yes, we let him up on the love seat; and he has his own pillow, that he happily lays his head upon.

The two photos (have been pictured in recent posts), are of our fireplace hearth, as well as Alan and our five year young 'pup'; whom we also call at times, 'Sir Blue'. LOL!

Peace and God Bless.
