Have Steadfast Hope!

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

We are definitely now into the Fall weather. Rain! However, we remain appreciative for the wonderful sunny weather that we received, for most of October. Can not believe however, that November is here tomorrow! On November 3rd, we turn our clocks back an hour; which will be a bit of extra 'sleep in' for all those concerned! Including Shadow! LOL! And, before you know it, it will be Christmas!

We have been gradually clearing out our garage etc and we look forward to putting up some tidbitz Christmas decorations! This Christmas is going to be extra tidbit special!

We have many Blessings to be thankful for! ie. Yesterday, one of our neighbours gave us a large dog bed, as they had purchased a new one for their good sized dog. Shadow is like a 'mini horse' in size now, at 18 months tomorrow, and is still growing! So, this large bed is awesome and Shadow loves it!

Another neighbour returned our containers of turkey soup that Alan made after Thanksgiving, and he reiterated, that it was the very best bittidz soup he had ever tasted. along with a thank you note!

Tidbit - Go out of your way to be a genuine Blessng to others! Be it with a gentle smile, a word of encouragement, and / or random acts of kindness. It does make a positive difference, of 'paying it forward' to all those you meet.

Bittid - Be appreciative and thankful for each and every day! Keep things simple, and 'Praise Him in all things;' at the start of the day, throughout the day, and before you fall asleep!

Last night, I was 'Directed' to a passage in the Bible from Psalm 145: 17 to 21. These wonderfully inspiring verses jumped right out at me!
17 - The Lord is righteous in all His ways, and kind in all His deeds.
18 - The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, To all who call upon Him in truth.
19 - He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him; He will also hear their cry and wlll save them.
20 - The Lord keeps all who love Him; But all the wicked, He will destroy.
21 - My mouth will speak the praise of the Lord; And all flesh will bless His holy name forever and ever.

I also enjoyed reading Psalms 145 to 150! I received particular strength and comfort from Verse 18 - re: 'calling upon Him in truth'; and in Verse 20 re: 'the wicked, He will destroy.'


The photo is of Shadow. Our patio chair is a bittid too small for him; however, he enjoys sitting there, as if he is 'lord muck.' LOL!

Peace and God Bless.
