Having an 'attitude of gratitude' is good


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

Five tidbitz days have gone by since I last wrote a tid post! Eventhough, Alan and I are in a bit of a 'waiting mode', we are exploring as many avenues as possible. We currently have approx four options; and three of them are inter connected; as in 'links in a chain.'

We are thankful that it is Saturday; and what a beautiful and crisp morning it is! Fall is definitely in the air; and the trees are exuding a splendid regalia of rich autumn colours. Plus, I am thoroughly enjoying my cup of coffee on this peaceful and tranquil morning. Also, was Blessed with a super sound sleep last night; so am joyfully appreciating the refreshing 'specialness' of this morning / day. Methinks, Fall is my favourite time of year; albeit each season has its unique and precious moments.

As per my last two posts, I shared about the recent passing of our friend (we have since lost four other friends to the 'Big C'; so it has been quite a week). Today (evening now in British time), there is a 'party' planned for him (he organized all the details, while he was in the hospice) and we are there in spirit; and ultimately we will raise and toast our glasses to him (ie an 'Absent Friends' Skal - an old Norwegian custom). We know it will a good ('grand' comes to my mind) party and it will be done with 'style'. That was the type of guy he was! He is from England; and if we did not have such a full plate / commitments, we would have quite literally jumped on a plane to be there for him. His funeral / 'Celebration of his life' is on Monday afternoon. In the bittidz meantime, we have been 'introduced' to new friends (via email correspondence) and we think that this is also what our friend would heartily and happily endorse!

Tidbit - Appreciate all your Blessings and simply be Thankful for each and every day. Your life is greatly simplified; when you have a grateful and genuine heart; along with a steadfast TRUST and FAITH in Him. 'Praise Him In ALL Things'; regardless of your daily circumstances.

Bitttid - Continue to have the resolve to 'endure' any and all trials and tribulations that appear in your life. Basicall, RELY totally upon Christ, and 'cast all your cares' upon Him, and LET Him Provide the Solution. (He knows what is best for each and every one of us; and, He loves us all unconditionally!). Do your part; however, allow Him to PREVAIL with the rest, as per His Will, His Purpose, and His Plan (and His Timing; not ours). Also, when a door closes, He opens another. Take strength and be encouraged that He has a good plan for us. He wants us all to enjoy a good life full of abundant Blessings.

Here is an uplifting Biblical passage from Romans 8: 28 - "And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose."

A further tidbit, to whomever reads my posts: 'Keep Things Simple', enjoy each and every day, and have a continual 'attitude of gratitude.' Now, more so than ever throughout the globe.

Also, I love the above photo image of the majestic soaring eagle! Will be 'watching' the Vision Channel tomorrow morning; and if you wish, you can refer to my earlier post(s) for a bittid of background re: the afore mentioned ministerial T.V. / online programs.

Peace and God Bless.
