There is always HOPE!

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

First of all, we have so many daily Blessings to be thankful for! Thank you Our Father! Praise Him in all things!

Currently, it is 22 degrees F and the skies are totally glorious! It will be another sunny gorgeous day with a horizon of blue. The sun appears to be giving off a brilliant golden hue everywhere this morning. We received our first snowfall a few tid days ago and the rooftops and lawns are now a vast vista of white patterned blankets.

Our beautiful magnolia tree now leafless, is sprouting up thriving pussy willow buds and the sparrows, the chickadees, the thrushes just love flocking to this big old tree. There was a chickadee that was chirping and hopping on the magnolia branches just bit moments ago, right outside our window. This is one of God's wonderful creations!

We also have a hummingbird (turquoise / greenish colouring; shimmers in the sunshine!) and for the last few days, it has literally 'stopped' for a few seconds in mid air app a foot away from me. It was like a mini bittidz hovering helicopter. Another awesome and rare tidbitz Blessing! Plus in various parts of our house with the rays of sunshine streaming in, there are mini tids of rainbows showing up on the walls. Bright and peaceful!

Am appreciating my 'elixir' of coffee this am and reflecting with good cheer upon all our Blessings. To us, each and every day is a 'mini' Thanksgiving. It has been another interesting week and again, we have experienced our ups and downs; but then, who doesn't? Methinks, it is a matter of attitude as to how one addresses and lives each day. It is a decision that one has to make. One can be sour and bitter etc OR, take on 'an attitude of gratitude' and CHOOSE to be of genuine good cheer in spirit, no matter what. When you invite Christ into your heart and have a grateful heart of thanksgiving, it is amazing how much better the bits of the day unfolds.

Have also been watching various ministries on the TV. Here are a few more that I appreciate and enjoy: 'One Faith to Live By', 'Tomorrow's World', and Peter Youngren of World Impact Ministries. Peter Youngren has just recently been given a mega opportunity, an open door if you will, to do the first 24/7 Gospel TV in the World's largest Islamic city. Good on him!

Yesterday early evening, I watched and listened to John Hagee's empowering message, 'Surviving the Storm.' Alan and I can identify totally with what he shares. Again, thank you to all the ministries who have made such an inspirational impact, not only to me, but throughout the world!

Also, as I was reading the Bible, I came across Psalm 138 (the page literally fell open!) - 'Thanksgiving for the Lord's Favor." There are NO coincidences! I love all the 8 verses; and the last one is of such strong comfort! Verse 8 - "The Lord will accomplish what concerns me; Thy lovingkindness, O Lord, is everlasting; Do not forsake the works of Thy hands."

Tidbit - Make your mind up to just surrender your will to Him. He Provides as per His Promise. You may not always have an Answer to Prayer right away, but ultimately, you do.

Presently, Alan and I are in the 'waiting' and we KNOW that Our Father KNOWS what is best for us. So we trust His Purpose, even if we do not know what the Purpose is. However, from past experiences, we can look back with appreciation and see that He has answered our Prayers; albeit differently at bittid times. It has been for the tidbit best. We are abiding in Him and we look forward to His Provision, as per His Will, His Purpose, and His Plan!

Bittid - Always seek WISDOM and UNDERSTANDING. It helps while you 'wait' in TRUST and FAITH in Him to Guide and Direct your daily journey.

Lest we forget, Christ's last instruction to us, was to 'Go Ye into all the world and share the messge of the Good New!'

This bittid photo image is very similar to 'our' tidbit hummingbird!


Peace and God Bless.
