Good Evening, or whatever is the best greeting to you, in your part of the world!
It has been a bittid of awhile! We have had many full days; experiencing trials and tribulations, as well as joyful tidbit Blessings.
Have gone back to work (app 6 weeks) and it has been a bittidz of a 'learning curve.' Very interesting; certainly builds tidbitz character! Also, there are many sad people out there. In my job, I like to think that the customers are happier when they leave; and that they will look forward to returning. I also hope to uplift my team members.
Have also enjoyed watching Joy 10 TV and the Vision Channel on the Sundays and those programs have been extremely invaluable to me. To name but just a few, I have appreciated the inspiring messages / lessons from Dr. Charles Stanley, Jack Van Impe Presents, Dr. David Jeramiah, Pastor Doug Batchelor, Pastor John Hagee, Joyce Meyer and Joel Osteen. I appreciate other ministries (Charles Price, Rhonda Lazerte, Hour of Power etc) as well, however, I have only been able to watch the early mornings and then again in the evenings.
Today is my 'day off.' Started off with waking up early and appreciating the bit of sunshine. There was a glorious moment of radiant rays reflecting a golden / reddish hue on all surrounding autumn foliage. Eventhough it was only for a tid moment, I revelled in the beauty of all the trees, leaves etc Such a gorgeous and refreshing time of year, is the Fall! The rain came soon after and everything still looks so lush and healthy! Am appreciative for His Creations and to have also enjoyed a quiet, reflective, and restful day.
We had an extra special and meaningful Thanksgiving. My son gave us an 18 pound turkey!!! Alan and I enjoyed a quiet Thanksgiving dinner on Sunday; and of course there were many leftovers! Alan made up his soup, as well as putting together various plates of turkey meals for those who were not able to celebrate a Thanksgiving meal. My son had to be out of town and my daughter was tied up with her side of the family. Given the busy past number of weeks, Alan and I were glad to be 'low key.' We had the traditional dinner, with all the trimmings, sitting down at a nicely set dining room table, and enjoyed listening to Dinah Krall. As, the evening was quite mild, we sat outside on our wee patio (wearing sweaters / jackets), appreciating her mellow music wafting in the background. It was a very lovely and special evening. We miss our Blue (our Blue Heeler) and eventually, we would like to find another 'Blue.' He was, indeed, very dear to our hearts. Hard to believe that it has been 8 months without him.
One of the tidbits that Joel Osteen was sharing was about 'waiting for the ingredient.' ie. Hang in there and do not give up. God has something special planned for you and even if your Prayers etc have not been answered as quickly or even differently, just know that He, knows what is best for you. Alan and I live one day at a time and we believe in 'keeping it simple.' We are thankful for our Blessings and this morning was one of them, methinks! ie. the majestic glorious hues of sunshine this morning!
I do apologize for not writing; but 'it has been a slice', as they say. (Could have written several best sellers! LOL!). I have missed writing. However, we are stalwart and steadfastedly working towards coming out, from down under. Challenges yes; however, we have the Faith and Trust in Christ to Guide us through and Direct our Paths, as per His Will, His Purpose, and His Plan - DAILY.
Tidbit - Hang in there. Keep on trekking. There are trials and teibulations; but perservere with Faith and Trust in Him - DAILY.
Bittid - . Having DAILY hope is good too! After the day has passed, Thank Him, regardless of your circumstances and just KNOW that things will get better with each passing day. Believe and joyfully anticipate that your breakthrough is coming!

Peace and God Bless.
