Reflective Thanks

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

Well, re: my most recent post of April 10th, ('Fresh tidbits of enthusiasm') I closed with: "Hope to be back later today or tomorrow with some reflective and uplifting bittids!"

'Tomorrow' has been / is the case; albeit a few days later. However, these past few days have just 'zoom zoom zoomed' by us; as we have have 'packed a lot in!' Am now taking a tid 'time out' to 'play a bit of catch up' with some tidbits. On Sunday morning, we watched and appreciated the ministerial insights from the encouraging programs on the Vision Channel. ie. 'Hour of Power', 'Enjoying Everyday Life', and 'Living Truth'.

On 'Hour of Power', Dr. Sheila Schuller-Coleman refers to Hebrew 11 re: Faith. "Now Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen".

Sheila further shares: "If you are facing impossible situations right now, then a miracle is possible." "Are you facing the impossible today? Then hallelujah because now you have the conditions for a miracle. Are you facing the impossible today? Hallelujah. A miracle is possible. That's the message that God wants us to hear today."

Sheila also tells of the true story of Angus Buchan, the son of a Scottish immigrant whose family, had a farm in South Africa. The ending is filled with magnificent Blessings; and in the next short while, I will be ordering Angus' book, 'Faith Like Potatoes'; as I feel there is a heartfelt message here.

Also, as per Sheila's Prayer (brought tears to my eyes), we gave $10.00 towards helping their ministry continue (ie paying some musicians who have yet to be paid, but still have showed up to play; as well as towards cleaning the Crystal Cathedral windows, and having water in the fountains etc). Plus with the highly expensive advertising costs etc, the ministry needs a bit of a financial boost at this time. To help them continue in their airtime ministry to provide ongoing Hope and Encouragement, to so many inspired viewers around the world! Our contribution is not much; however, if everyone did their bittidz and gave a tidbitz of $10.00 each, this would go a long tid way in assisting this very 'special' ministry.

Also like how Beth Groombridge sings at the close of the program, the catchy words: "All things are possible". A good way to end and start each and every day, with those empowering thoughts, methinks! Also, the guests interviewed on the Hour of Power, were wonderful as well.

Am just touching upon this particular program today; and will continue with 'Enjoying Everyday Life' in my next post, followed then by 'Living Truth' in another post. I heartily enjoy them all; as well as some other ministries. ie. 'Door of Hope', 'Tomorrow's World' etc. Again, the websites: www.hourofpower.org; www.joycemeyer.org; and www.livingtruth.ca for those of you who wish to 'Seek and Ye Shall Find'.

Interestingly enough, this pretty much sums up what Alan and I have been / are experiencing re: Hebrews 11.

Also last Sunday afternoon, we prepped and tidied up our tidbit garden / patio; and with the absence of the bittid clutter here and there, it looks so much better. Plus the weather was a warm and gentle 65 degrees Fahrenheit.

'Captured this moment' on Sunday afternoon, when I took the picture of daffodils in this delicate old antique Fenton vase. Also took a few other daffodil / vase photos, that I will happily share in the next few posts. I love this exquisite yellow and white uniquely unusual flowery vase!

Tidbit - Know that your challenges are overcome by Him; even as we speak. Just leave everything to Him, knowing that He has your best interests at heart and He will Provide for you.

Bittid - Everything is per His Will, His Purpose, and His Plan. Just have the Faith, the Hope, and the Trust, that 'ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE' with Him. May not happen as soon as you would wish, but just hang in there with Patience and good cheer; and Rely upon Him.

Am grateful now for the evening; as it is a time of reflective thanks to Him, and to partake in joyful rest. We received some bittids of good news at the end of the day; and we should know more tomorrow; or shortly thereafter. I keep 'hearing': "Fear Not, For I have Overcome the World." That is good enough for me!

Glad too, it is dinner time; that we have food in our larder, and that our meal (prepared by 'chef' Alan), smells so delicious! Thanks also, to Costco; for their various quality assortments of meats and veggies! Skal and Good Night. I know we will sleep soundly tonight!


Peace and God Bless.
