Have a grateful heart of Thanksgiving!

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

A lot of tidbitz has happened since I last wrote a post.

To recap a bit, on March 6th, we scattered my Mum's ashes, as per her wishes. We were blessed with good sea weather and we also appreciated a picnic lunch in her memory. She enjoyed champagne (as do we every so often); so along with that, we brought some sandwiches from Subway. An interesting mix, but a most memorable toast with several 'Skals' of thanks. We also brought some daffodils to scatter and as you can see from the photo below, the bumble bees are quite large. We were amazed how 'giant like' they were. They were attracted to the flowers but they also zoomed in for the bright colour of our yellow tote bag.

We watched and listened to Dr. David Jeremiah's tidbits of teachings and insights -  www.davidjeremiah.org/ on Sunday, March 8th, and Wow! In his enlightening message, 'The Sword of the Spirit', he shares an example of comparing us to a butterfly, a botanist, or a little bumble bee.

On the Friday, when I observed the 'giant' orange like bumble bees, I could not help but marvel and thought how the bumble bees enthusiastically dug in and drank in every bit of nectar they could drain from the daffodils. I remember thinking that they are in such earnest search. Then we hear the message from Dr. Jeremiah on Sunday. Well, I definitely relate to the bumble bee! Butterflies are lovely; but there was just 'something' extra 'special' about these huge bees. I was not frightened by their persistence or largess. In fact, I welcomed them! They provided a bittidz of comic, yet wondrous relief to the occasion.

Have been laying a tid low, as I either cracked a few ribs and / or pulled some muscles on my rib cage. Either way, not the most pleasant type of injury to experience. Last week, when I was opening up a very heavy door, I heard a 'pop' and then followed by a loud yell (that was me, saying ' ouch!'). Anyway, I have to just grin and bear it; as there is not much that can be done for this type of an injury. Save 'rest.' We have a lot of matters that have been in the works and are finally coming to fruition. This little 'setback' perhaps is a 'step forward' as I have had this quiet time to calmly reflect upon some future decisions. That being said, we are all the more focused to Trust and Rely upon Christ, to Guide and Direct our paths, as per His Will, His Purpose, and His Plan.

Have also been watching and appreciating a number of ministries on T.V. and again, a heartfelt thanks to all those ministries with their wonderful bittids of encouragement! I have been a bittid behind with my reading and studying the Bible; but I look forward to getting back to it! Am not beating myself up either. Things happen; and methinks, there are no coincidences! We also believe in the 'supernatural' as Sid Roth does; and therefore, we rejoice with confident expectation in His awesome Provision!

One of our elderly neighbours just brought us over a delicious dessert he has made before, as an appreciative gesture for the home-made soups that Alan gives him. The 'Golden Rule' is very true '"Do unto others, as you would have them do unto you." Having just said that, it is very important to encourage and uplift 'seniors' and for that tidbit matter, people of all ages! Just because 'senior folk' are of a certain age, does not mean that they are not useful and / or should be cast aside. The same goes for the 'young' people.

'Wisdom' at any age is a 'tidbit' gift! Earlier this morning, I watched the last half hour of "Hour of Power' with Bobby Schuller and he has been Blessed with much Wisdom!

Tidbit - Thankfully embrace each and every day. Praise Him too, for attended difficulties and / or challenges. Remember, He IS your BEST Advocate and has your best interests at heart! Leave it to Him to fight all your battles. He has already WON!

Bittid - Again, INVITE Christ genuinely into your heart; and as per His Promise, He never leaves you. Therefore, be empowered to be anchored and rooted in steadfast FAITH in His 'supernatural' Provision!

Peace and God Bless.
