Always have HOPE!

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

Just reread my recent post; and it helped me quite a bit this am. When I write, I feel I am 'Directed' by the Holy Spirit. I never know what I am going to write about; save that sharing some tid experiences, with the heartfelt thought to uplift all those who read my blog.

It has been a 'whirlwind' these past few days. Doing everything we can to make bittidz ends meet. We have a wonderful vision / plan for the future; however, not much can move forward until certain matters are resolved. Then tidbitz decisions can be made and they would be for the better!

Things are moving slowly; and we are putting up a' good fight.'  
"Keep your eyes on the King of Kings!  That's where the victory will come from!"

Oh, my post has taken on a different colour and size!   All the more for it to be 'illuminated!'

Thank you to our wonderful friend (he knows who he is) who provided these refreshing tidbits of truth and encouragement. He knows of the 'battles' we are going through and because he has had many a share of trials and tribulations, he has the understanding, compassion, empathy, kindness etc. Actually this post is dedicated to him and to another awesome friend of ours.

Both people have not questioned us in our difficulties; they just 'know.'  Nor have they 'thrown rocks'.  It would appear that those who scorn, mock, ridicule, spread falsehoods, deceive, manipulate, accuse etc, have no problems in pointing fingers at us. The sad thing is, they do not know what really happened and are content to go along with their versions of bittids or snippets.  So be it.

I was saying to Alan last night, that we are very Blessed to have two such special people who ARE  our friends. (Yes, we have some other special friends and they know who they are as well). However, this post is to thank these two friends in particular.  We had a major pressing need and both helped in an instant. One of them is tapped, but again he is abundantly rich in spirit!  He is a very special guy; a big heart, and a worthy warrior in His Service. Our other friend who is not tapped, also has a 'generosity of spirit' and by her 'words, actions, and deeds.' also shines forth with  an 'inner beauty.'

We have found those who have not, do; and those that have, don't.  Maybe that does not make sense, but it does.  Anyway, c'est la vie. If nothing else, Alan and I have been getting 'crash courses' in human behaviour and then some.  Very sad to observe in many cases.

" You two hang in there... God has something really awesome in store for you - or for you to do for Him.  It takes a hot fire to make good steel, and you always test it before you build with it. So even though you don't feel like it -- rejoice!  He has His eyes on YOU."  This is another tidbit gem from our friend and this has also made an empowering impactful impression on me.  The same goes back to him!  I think God has an extra awesome plan for him!

Tidbit - Do not let your dreams / ideas  be stolen by those who wish to put snares around your visions.  Dare to dream and dream big!  (Keeping it simple, all the while).

We know there is a 'macro' plan He has for us (all of us); albeit we have been experiencing several setbacks, disappointments,  let downs etc.

Bittid - Out of adversity, comes strength. There is an extra sinewy courage and a resiliency that takes root. Never ever let go of HOPE; regardless of your situation / circumstances.

We have had some people (they also know who they are) say - that 'we are hopeless; there is NO hope, don't hope'  etc.  And yes, we are in a tough spot; however, we have to keep on going, like the 'energizer bunny.'  We have to have HOPE,  and ALWAYS press on in Faith and Trust in Him, regardless.  We all have to do that!



Eventhough things are uncertain, we take comfort in knowing that He IS for certain and He Directs our path. He IS the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE!

Also, as a further bittid, Dr. Charles Stanley says, "Leave all the consequences to God.'

Love this photo image of the eagle!

Peace and God Bless.

P.S. The photo to the right, is of our rhodo. We have 'nutured'  this along for approx four years and this was the first time it has bloomed!  A multitude of pink Blessings! What a tid treat!  It was a small bit plant when we first 'found' it and, as you can see, it has become wonderfully fruitful!
