Kindness!!!

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

Well, we are now heavily into the Fall season! Rainy and blustery days and yet; the trees are so magnificent with all their rich and vivid colours! A major Blessing! I like all the Seasons, but I always have thought that Autumn is 'special!'

We turned our clocks back last night and what a tidbit treat to have an 'extra' hour today! Makes one stop and ponder reflectively and to also be joyfully thankful for all our Blessings! 'Praise Him in ALL Things!' Recently we were given a 'gift' of kindness by some good friends, and we are still rejoicing in their 'generosity of spirit!'

This morning I watched 'In Touch Ministries' on T.V; and Dr.Charles Stanley's www.intouch.org/broadcast/this-week-on-tv‎ message on 'Kindness' is totally awesome and also full of encouragement! I recommend you tune into his tidbits of good cheer!

Also, another good friend of ours just shared with us the following wonderful bittids from Andrew Wommack Ministries. news.awmi.net.

REJOICE IN THE LORD - ALWAYS
John 16:33 - "These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world."

JOHN 16:33

"The world experiences joy and happiness in direct proportion to their circumstances. Bad circumstances produce depression and sorrow, while good circumstances produce joy and peace. That's bondage, and does not have to be the case for a Christian. Our joy is not dependent on things, but rather on the person of Jesus Christ. He is our peace and joy.

The way we take advantage of this joy and peace in the midst of tribulation, is to have our minds and hearts stayed on things above and not on things of this earth. The invisible things of God are eternal while the visible problems on earth are only temporary. All the problems of this life grow very dim when we compare them to the glory of God that is ours through Jesus.

We can rejoice in the Lord always (Phil. 4:4) because rejoicing is an action, not a reaction to our environment. Joy is a gift from God that was given to us at salvation. It was placed within our born-again spirit and it doesn't fluctuate or diminish; it is constant. The Lord has put the joy inside us and we are to "work it out" by choosing to obey this command in scripture.

We are commanded to rejoice "IN THE LORD." Many people are not experiencing true joy because their joy is in their circumstances. That is, they are waiting to rejoice when things in their lives are going good, and that doesn't happen very often. We are suppose to "rejoice in the Lord always."

That means we are supposed to rejoice in who the Lord is and what He has done for us. He never changes (Heb. 13:8) and His mercies and compassions are new every morning (Lam. 3:22-23)"

Tidbit - This is so tid true. Everything on earth, is temporary. So make the best of each and every day you have been given!

Bittid - Always be thankful, in all bit circumstances!

A heartfelt 'thank you' to true friendship. We may not have many 'friends', but we are grateful for the few close ones; for we know they are genuine. That is a comfort and a joy to us!

We have a small 'guest room' and I will be 'decluttering' it today, so as to make it 'ready' for any special friend who may 'show up' on our doorstep now and / or over the holidays. Right now, the room is full of boxes of 'stuff', that needs to be gone through. Items from both Alan's and my parents. Methinks one has to be 'in the mood' to go through these various momentos; as it can be quite an emotional endeavour. So today is the 'chosen' day! Plus it is pouring with rain and this is a great day to 'rest' and to ENJOY the 'puttering', being thankful, and joyful all the while!

We will be having a full week coming up; so today is the perfect bittid day to 'recharge the batteries.' Rememberance Day is fastly approaching as well; and this particular year is all the more special to us, to 'remember' our innumerable Blessings over the years.

In closing, a majestic Thank You to Our Heavenly Father!!! Also to all those who have extended us a genuine hand of friendship and kindness over the years. That includes our parents who raised us. Fortunately, I have many wonderful and appreciative memories of my childhood. Also as a child, I used to always say to my parents, 'I'm a wucky wucky girl!'

Although, I do not know the actress, 'Betty White', I think her attitude is very positive and 'spunky'and that is how I plan to live the rest of my life. Taking delight in the simple things and enjoying and being appreciative for our daily Blessings. A big heartfelt thanks too, to the ministries for sharing their messages of the 'Good News!'

Also, my daughter's birthday is tomorrow and I am thinking where has the bittidz time gone? All these years and now both she and my son, each have their own respective families and their own lives. We are happy for them!

I love this tidbitz photo image, of what appears to be a peaceful and welcoming warmth!

Peace and God Bless.
