Strength of Character

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

Again, it has been a tidbitz while since I last wrote a post. Truly, we have been on the go and at the end of each day, we are grateful for the peace of a summer's evening.

We are still unpacking; and our home is becoming a cosy and warm abode. Our house guest (my good friend whom I have not seen for at least 20+ years) arrived on our doorstep some twelve days ago and it was wonderful to see her again. We carried on as if we had just seen each other the bittidz day before! Very few people, methinks, one can do that with.

The four or five days she stayed with us went by very quickly; and we shared many of our life stories and spiritual experiences. She knows the door is open at any time. Perhaps she will stop by here on her way home; after she has a visit with another friend. She arrived on the Thursday and quite literally, I had just finished 'her' room, when she and her little dog appeared at our door. Good timing!

Our dog Blue has had a number of adjustments to handle, and we feel he has done very well. Plus with the little female house guest pet, that helped him settle in all the more.

We are still involved in the legal saga; and are working towards closure. More about that when it is so. Suffice to say, we have observed various human traits in nature, character, and behaviour.

We recently had a garage sale and enjoyed meeting some special people. We also met a fun couple; and we found that we have a lot of things / connections in common. (There are no tid coincidences!) As it happens, they have invited themselves over, and have offered to bring the food and the wine! Our dining room table is oozing with files; so we are thankful we can retreat to another spot. ie. Our covered outdoor patio. I never met my grandfather; but apparently he always used to say: "We have another room you know."

Tidbit - Keep things simple and live one day at a time.

Bittid - Continue to 'Praise Him in ALL Things.'

Those two bits worth have sustained us through these challenging times. 'He IS the Way, the Truth, and the Life.' We know He knows all things and the Ten Commandments are more important than ever to follow as a daily guide. When one asks Him for understanding, more things appear to make sense. Also the Bible becomes like a living Truth.

We saw the movie, 'The Story of Ruth' last night; and I identify with the Biblical story. It was an excellent portrayal of character and well worth watching. I immediately appreciated Naomi and Ruth, for their strength of character, and how they stood up for the TRUTH. It is true that, 'the truth sets one free.'

Will be back with some tids when I can. In the meantime, hope your spirits are uplifted and encouraged to keep on trekking in Trust in Him, for each and every moment of each passing day. When you Ask Him to carry your burdens; He does. When you feel swamped / overwhelmed, just Thank Him and cast all your cares upon Him. He encourages Prayer dialogue and wants a personal relationship with you; as He loves you unconditionally! Ask for the Holy Spirit to infill you; and you will see / and or make a gentle difference to those around you. "Do unto others, as you would have them do unto you."

The above photo image suggests to open your heart and invite Him in and He will enter. Then you can Ask and Seek, knowing that He will Direct your path and Provide.

Peace and God Bless.
