Good Afternoon, or whatever is the best greeting to you, in your part of the world!
Thank you to all those who read my journal posts; am totally appreciative. I hope they offer bits of encouragement and provide a few tids of uplifting tidbits.
"What you see, is what you get." So, you read the Truth as well; even if the bittids are not as rosy in our current circumstances. My Dad always used to say: "Life is not a bowl of cherries." Well, it would appear that he was / is right and I can perhaps add that there are also some rotting cherries in the tid mix. That may be more to the poignant point and perhaps what my Dad may have meant too. He experienced many a setback, against all odds, etc; BUT he was able to 'rise above it all.' Good on him! I find out after his death, that he was a very spiritual man. Actually he built one of the first Interdenominational churches or place of prayer / worship in North America. He was a very modest, humble, and low profile person; but was very gifted with 'the Fruits of the Spirit.' I have learned more about my Dad, since his passing. He was a remarkable figure.
We do Rely upon Our Father for His Guidance and Direction in our daily walk in His Service. Very simply: "Do unto others, as you would have them do unto you."
We have experienced setbacks and the very latest bittidz being, we had been led to hope that 'something would be resolved and in the works.' Well, we would like to believe that is still so; but along the way, we have been mislead for one bit reason or another. Manipulation, control, self serving motives, lack of transparency comes to my discerning mind. Do not like what I have sensed; however, there are too many conflicting details or RATHER, lack of details. Does not add up, methinks. Also, a tidbit thought may be: "We'll show them. Brow beat them and they will come around." I would like not to think so; however having discerned smugness, indignation, self righteousness, etc this is truly not sitting well within my heart. Am expressing my sadness and dismay, should this be a bittid possibility. I truly would like to hope that this is not part of the mix. We are looking for fair play and an equitable solution; NOT what I / we have been exposed to thus far. 'By their words, actions, and deeds', it woudl appear they have shown themselves up. In the end, they will not be the winners; even if they think they are. Unfortunately, it would appear they are attempting to pull a fast one!
Alan and have some very tough tidbitz decisions to make; a large part being due to the lack of transparency and clarity. You know your inner 'gut' - well, sometbing is very definitely not 'kosher' to me.
Tidbit - Discernment is a Gift from the Holy Spirit. If you have invited Him into your heart and you diliigently Seek Him out, you will be given Grace and other 'Fruits of the Spirit.'
A wonderful friend (one of our few friends) passed away just recently. I knew she was not well, but I did not realize that when I saw her last, that would be the last time. She was an extra special human being and it was a genuine friendship we enjoyed. We are thankful for the time that we spent with her and that it was a gift to have known her; albeit for only a couple of years.
Bittid - Life is too short. Reconcile with your family / friends. However, if your attempts at doing so, fail or are foiled, then let it be. Continue to have a forgiving heart and Pray for them (and for yourselves to0);; but let them go. If they come back to you and want to genuinely initiate a new beginning, then give them an awesome and reciprocative and warm welcome! As the tidbit expresssion goes:: "If you love someone, let them go. If they come back, they are yours. If they do not, they never were."
Peace and God Bless.
