Appreciating a quiet night at home


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

Yesterday came and went quickly; had tidbitz appointments, some showings, as well as some unexpected bittidz matters that arose. Fortunately, later in the day, our very good friend came over for a bit of birthday bubbly, appies, and dinner. Just 'what the doctor ordered'; as the day unfolded into 'it never rains, but it pours.' Everything all at tid once. We also got hit with a bittid of dismaying news; but we will deal with things on Monday. The dinner consisted of Alan's creative homemade pizza, and our friend made a delicious green salad, as well as bringing over a bottle of pleasant tasting red wine ('Lounge Lizard' is the name of the wine! LOL!). For dessert, we had freshly baked lemon meringue pie (from the local bakery). Always good to patronize your local bakery, methinks!

During dinner, we did several 'Absent Friends Skals' (a Norwegian custom); remembering those who are no longer with us. ie. My Dad (he died April 30, 1998) as well as my Mum and other parents / family members / dear friends who have since passed away. My son called us later last night; to pass on his rememberances as well; and I was appreciative of that heartwarming gesture. My son works in a bank; and that particular branch had a robbery; so he was there many long hours into the night with the police. It would appear he had quite the day and then some.

We did not see my daughter and our grandsons yesterday; so hopefully, we will get together sometime next week; when schedules permit.

Glad it is Saturday evening; and we can be thankfully reflective for all the Blessings that we have been given by Him. We have been out and about; so we welcome a quiet night at home. We are enjoying the hockey playoffs; and then later on, we will view a movie or two.

Tidbit - Live one day at a time. 'Cast all your cares upon Him'. ie. Worries, fears, doubts, anxieties etc. Trust that He has everything in hand and knows what is best for you. He has a good plan for each and every one of us; as He loves us all unconditionally.

Bittid - Make a point of saying 'Thank you' more often. It is amazing how much better you feel when you have an 'attitude of gratitude'; and it 'rubs off on others.' Also, take joyful delight in appreciating the little things. Plus, in tough circumstances, by saying 'Thank You' to Him, lets Him Know that you are Relying totally upon Him to Guide your Path. 'He IS the Way, the Truth, and the Light.' Do not let obstacles distract you for too long; best to 'snap out of it', and 'Praise Him In ALL Things.' Focus your attention all the MORE upon Him to Prevail with the best Solution / Plan for you.

Tomorrow, I look forward to watching the Vision Channel; and to repeat, for those interested in learning more, it is preferable to tune into the various programs (ie.'Hour of Power', 'Enjoying Everyday Life', 'Living Truth' etc), to gain your own tidbit insights and understanding. These special ministeries provide wonderful encouragement, as well as uplifting Biblical teachings.

It is a beautiful evening tonight; very windy; yet nice to have the extra daylight. Love the above photo image; so lush and green; much like what we have surrounding us.

Good Night, Peace, and God Bless.
