Always Give Him Thanks!

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

The days are zooming by as per tid usual, since my last post.
That being said, we were thankful it was the weekend again!

Yesterday morning I was outside early (in between rainfalls) to pick some more tidbitz cherry tomatoes. They are still green; but they will ripen indoors in our colander. Thought they are better inside, rather than taking on the pouring rain! There are still more cherry tomatoes on the vine and those will be rescued as well.

When I was outside, it was wonderfully peaceful and tranquil. Birds flying about (some were Northern Flickers; and sadly I was not able to get a photo of them); but I can appreciate why there are ornithology organizations that follow rare birds around the globe. It was quite exciting to see these particular birds in and amongst the thick protective foliage of the magnolia tree. There are bittidz blooms resembling pussy willows that are now appearing on this magnificent tree. As well as blooms on our rhodo. As mentioned we have lots of thriving life in our bittid garden. We are also Blessed daily and at dusk with several flocks of Canada Geese that either fly near and / or right over our home.

Also, yesterday, we enjoyed a really nice and quiet day of restful puttering and thankful reflection. We are heartily grateful for the bountiful provision of many turkey leftovers. I enjoyed a turkey sandwich with homemade cranberry sauce and gravy for lunch; and then for our dinner, we savoured Alan's delicious turkey soup.

Alan has given some of the tasty soup away to various neighbours. One of them, being a lovely Philippino family who live down the street. They were ecstatic yesterday when Alan brought some of the turkey soup over to them. When we were looking after Shadow (the Great Dane / Black Lab cross), Alan would walk past their home with Shadow and since then, there has been a friendship. Also, when he gives the soup away, he suggests that water can be added to stretch it even further and / or just add more barley and veggies to the mix.

For dessert, I baked up some bananas, with sprinklings of brown sugar, butter, and lemon rinds. If I do say so myself, they were scrumptious! Alan picked up a wonderful bunch of bananas from our local grocery store, with fresh produce. Perhaps, you remember or know of the tidbit expression: 'Waste not, want not' Well, the store owner wisely provides a section, as in a 'dollar bin'; as he does not like wastage. And nor do we.

I extra appreciated the cup of tea (I have cut back on my coffee) that Alan brings to me each morning. This morning, I stayed in bed to watch a couple of my favourite TV ministries. One of them is Jack Van Impe Presents. He and his wife, Rexella, are right on with their thoughts and insights of what is Biblically happening now!

Then I watched Living Truth with Charles Price. Both he and his wife, Hilary, were in Northern Iraq, sharing the message of the Bible to those people in their native Arabic language. I think that is totally awesome! Spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ throughout the world, to those who have a hunger and a thirst to know more!

You can read the entire article and / or watch the inspirational video - 'For the Kingdom of God.'

I recommend that you tune into these 2 ministries! A heartfelt thank you to them both for their enlightening tidbits!

It is truly tragic about the epidemic of Ebola. We are Prayful that Canada is successful in its cure for this devastating disease. As well as the ongoing assistance of the Canadian government, in providing masks, medical equipment and so forth.

The Ebola, Isis etc has distracted us from the ongoing horrors and evils in the Ukraine and in the Crimean, sponsored by Putin. DO NOT IGNORE the bittids of Russian manoeuvres.

A Russian sub was found to be in the waters just off Sweden. Hmmmm and the Russians are denying that! Why? Also, interesting that a Russian cargo / container ship was 'driting' off Haida Gwaii, off our British Columbia coast? Naturally, our coast has its severe weather related ocean storms; however, methinks this is a tid unusual?

These photos are of our rhodo with its gorgeous blooms. You can view the stages. Each bit bloom is a striking fuschia colour and then it transforms into a a soft pink / white. As well as a tomato plant, that has 'sprung up' amidst our red supertunia flowers. Most likely some bit seeds were pollinated and / or carried by the insects, birds, and the wind. Pretty incredible!

Also here is a photo of dear Shadow, taken in August 2013, when he was 15 months old. Plus, a photo image of a 'Northern Flicker' should you not have seen this beautiful bird.













Am thankful for all the ministries, who give so generously of their time and resources to help spread the Message of the Good News!!

Here is a TV photo image of Charles Price that I was inspired to take a few years ago while watching his program. Again, we think it is awesome that both he and Hilary share the Gospel as they are throughout the world! When Charles was sharing today, about him being on TV and appearing to 'speak' in Arabic tongue, this reminded me of the photo I took!



In closing, continue to be steadfast in Faith, Hope, and Trust in Christ. He is the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE. We have so much to be thankful for and always, Give Him Thanks, and Praise Him in ALL things.

Peace and God Bless.
