Being genuinely grateful


















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

We are grateful it is Saturday; and what a beautiful summer morning it is! I know I have not written a post since July 7th. Things have just been on the plain go for us; and at the end of the day, Alan and I are thankful for a good night's rest. - To be ready to start all over again, the next day.

Basically, we have been involved in putting out a lot of bittid brushfires. Quite a few of them have appeared right 'out of left field'; and fortunately, have been exposed as being tid tempests in a teapot. It has not been easy; however, Alan and I are keeping a stronger than ever vigilance and focus upon Christ; and that whatever is happening, is for His Purpose, His Plan, and in Accordance with His Will. We have to constantly remind ourselves that it is NOT our Will; but it is in His Will.

It has been amazing what DOES occur, when one continues forward in steadfast HOPE, FAITH, and BELIEF in Him. In our case, He has magnificently Prevailed! ie. April 16th, July 9th, July 12th, and July 16th. I wrote a post re: the April 16th 'miracle.' The other dates have been significant too; and we have been dealing with deception, confusion, malice, etc. When we Pray in earnst for 'Justice', and eventhough we do not understand what His Purpose is, we know that it is for the best. He Shows up! We may be a bit 'battle fatigued'; yet we are rejuvenated at the same tid time!

As to the other 'miracles', one would have had to have experienced them! The wonderful words from Hebrews 11:1 - "Now Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen" is a constant tidbit uplift! Also, Psalms 3, 4, 5, & 6 have really encouraged me to be of good cheer, and to have perpetual TRUST in Him and in His Provision! He has sustained Alan and I throughout each and every day. We must remember too, that He has Promised to take care of us all; as we are His Children.

Tidbit - Be thankful for your daily Blessings; and live each day as if it were a joyful 'thanksgiving.' Regardless of 'trials and tribulations', remember to be ongoing and 'Praise Him In ALL Things.'

Bittid - Keep things simple.

Tomorrow, we look forward to watching the Vision Channel in the morning. ie. 'Hour of Power' (www.hourofpower.org) and 'Living Truth' (www.livingtruth.ca). I will also watch 'Enjoying Everyday Life' (www.joycemeyer.org) online. These and many other ministries offer such great encouragement and illuminating insights, methinks.

We have another showing on Monday for the house; as well as two other potential offers. We are going with His Flow; and we rejoice that it is the weekend; and we will take this special time and 'time out', to rest, recoop, and recharge our batteries. Here is wishing you a nice weekend as well.

Love the above photo image; looks so relaxing, refreshing, and peaceful. Am gleefully reflecting upon our Blessings; as well as thanking Him for His Majextic Help in Overcoming recent events (hence 'miracles'). We, indeed, have much to be grateful for!

Peace and God Bless.
