'Baby steps'


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

This is just going to be a brief bit of a post; as Alan and I had an early start to the day. It really feels like a Friday evening to me; so am going to appreciate a quiet night (ie. Watching the hockey games! LOL!).

We have a beautiful calendar from 'Living Truth'(www.livingtruth.ca); and just a few tid minutes ago, I opened it up to show the wintery picturesque month of December. Some enlightening words written by Charles Price, jumped right out at me! "You will never prove God in the big areas of life, unless you are living with God in the little areas of life. You cannot leapfrog to victory from nowhere." What a tidbit of encouraging endorsement! Alan and I have been / are living one day at a time; and just today I mentioned to Alan, 'Well, I guess He is having us take 'baby steps' before a major breakthrough!' There are NO bittid coicidences, methinks!

We enjoyed steak (from Costco) the other evening and Alan marinated it for a few days. Amazing how wonderfully the marinade tenderizes and flavourizes the meat. We have stretched the steak into sandwiches for a couple of meals; as we served it 'Chateaubriand' style. In fact I am about to have the 'leftover' sandwich again; along with a full glass of delicious red wine. I have a tidbitz of a head start on the wine; so Skal! Alan will be devouring warmed up in the microwave, the 'leftover' cheese and spicy pizza pieces from last night's dinner. Pizza also is good cold; particularly if you have had a bittidz of a late night.

The red wine, 'Frontera' (Merlot) is from Chile. Recently we ran into an older neighbour in the Liquor Store, and he suggested this wine to us; and not only does it taste good, it is of tremendous value! We also like South African wines, as well as the Marcus James (a red Cabernet) from Argentina. (The Marcus James was sold out in the three different liquor stores we went to; so go figure!) We ended up following our neighbour's (Frank) advice. Frank, has travelled extensively to wineries throughout the world; and he highly recommends the Frontera. We only know our neighbour in passing; however, his eyes sparkled and came vividly to life, when he spoke of this favourable wine. This tete to tete has now opened up the door for a future friendship or camadarie. (As a tid, I have always thought it would be great to own a vineyard...dream on...but...you never know..that would be something I would LOVE to do! And of course, tasting the wine! LOL!)

Tidbit - 'Do not fret not about tomorrow, for it comes soon enough'. At the moment, can not remember what Biblical passage this Scripture is from; however, more importantly, it is a reassuring comfort to me.

Bittid - Appreciate others; particularly if they have done you a good turn, with 'a generosity of spirit.'

Last week, our next door neighbour gave us a gorgeous indoor plant, that I will take a picture of and post for you, before too bit long. I do not know its name; however, I have always loved this particular pink flowering 'cactus like?' plant. I feel it is 'happy' to be residing in our front hall. Apparently, our neighbour was going to 'throw it out?'; well, it is now 'at home', along with all the other plants, that Alan has 'rescued' from our garbage complex.

Here is wishing you a nice evening! I like the above photo image of two contented puppies!

Good Night, Peace and God Bless.
