'Roll Over' Your Cares to Him!

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

It has been a full tid week (again). We have experienced our bittids of 'ups and downs'; but we remain steadfast in 'fighting the good fight!'

In the mornings of this week, I have been watching Gloria Copeland and Pastor George Pearsons on T.V. Their series: 'Developing a Strong Spirit' is empowering!

On Monday, 'Enemies of a Strong Spirit', are suggestions on how to build a strong spirit; and therefore, 'roll over your cares to the Lord.'

Examples of 'cares' are worry, doubt, angst, fear, lack, whatever. Gloria says that if the 'care' is still there, then you have not yet 'rolled it over' to God; as the care is still with you. That is where also Gloria states: 'TAKE THE VICTORY / CLAIM IT!' Gloria has shared these tidbits of wisdom in many of her broadcasts. And George is also right on! I like their natural enthusiasm, and you can discern that they are speaking right from their hearts, and being Directed by the Holy Spirit!

There are 3 key tidbit areas on 'How to Develop a Strong Spirit' - Diet, Rest, and Exercise.
Yesterday was on 'Diet'; today is on 'Rest'; and tomorrow is on 'Exercise.' When you listen to their insights, www.kcm.org it makes tidbitz sense! 'Resting in the Lord' and, thus being 'patient and waiting upon the Lord.' In a tid nutshell, 'Cast all your cares upon the Lord.'

Also, have been appreciatively watching Andrew Wommack, and his teachings are very down to earth too. Today, continuing with his series: 'A Better Way To Pray' is illuminating! If a Prayer is not 'answered' right away, that does not mean that God has not heard your Prayers. A lot of people give up when their Prayers are not 'instantly' answered.

If it is part of God's Will, He has heard your Prayers on the first go around. He is working on things and will intercede on your behalf in His Timing.

Meanwhile Satan and other 'stuff' will attempt to hinder, create stumbling blocks by getting in the bit way. However, be anchored in Christ, cast all cares aside and be unfettered, calm, and patient.

Also, by Praying the same Prayer everyday for His Answer, suggests there is still a lingering 'doubt' within, whether He will answer your Prayer. Again, know that He has heard your Prayer from the first moment you uttered it. Trust in Him that He has everything in Hand, and that He is simply working behind the scenes. Plus, everyday when you do Pray, simply Thank Him for His Provision. That builds up your faith, trust, and belief that it will be so, as per His Will. I suggest you tune into Andrew's website and the video for further clarity. http://www.awmi.net/

When you Pray and Ask for something, quote a Bible Scripture along with it; so that everything is tied in with the Word.

Mark 11
Verse 23 -
"Truly I say to you, whoever says to his mountain, 'Be taken up and cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is going to happen. it shall be granted him."
Verse 24 -
"Therefore I say to you, all things for which you pray and ask, believe that you have received them, and they shall be granted you."

Also, I take great comfort in this verse from Psalm 46:10 - "Be still and Know that I am God."

Here is are a couple of photos. One of our rhodo, showing a few bittid blooms in 3 beautiful colours; and the other is of an eagle. I sensed that when I was taking the picture of the eagle, it was as if he swooped down from high above, and was literally right above me! Saying to me: 'Take it!' Methinks this is an awesome Blessing!

Isaiah 40
Verse 31 -
"Yet those who wait for the Lord
Will gain new strength;
They will mount up with wings like eagles,
They will run and not get tired,
They will walk and not become weary."

Alan and I have been 'resting in the Lord.' We are in the process of 'waiting upon the Lord' and we know it is going to happen; however, in His Timing. Therefore, we are confidently and joyfully expecting His awesome Provision!

This morning when I listened to and watched Gloria and George, it was as if I was sitting right there with them, with my coffee and ears opened! LOL! Could relate to George being up in the wee bit hours of the morning and thankfully meditating upon the Word. Methinks, that is a wholesome and refreshing start to the day! While I was listening to them, I heartily enjoyed my breakfast, my spirit being 'fed' by a healthy 'diet.'
Later this afternoon, I will 'exercise' by going for a long walk and taking in all the bittids of wonderful fresh air, which clears out the bittidz cobwebs.

Hope today's post provides tidbits of encouragement and uplifts your spirits each and every day. Thank you also, for the enlightening insights from these ministries, as well as from many others! Be of good cheer!

Peace and God Bless.

Bloom and Blossom with the Word!

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

It is Sunday and it has been a wonderful Spring day so far! I appreciatively watched Dr. Charles Stanley (video 'Those Feelings of Inadequacy').

Dr. Stanley (http://www.intouch.org/) shares some empowering verses! ie. Proverbs 3:5-6, Philippians 4:6, and Joshua 1:9. Basically one has the choice of being encouraged or discouraged.

Also 'soaked up' the last half hour of 'Hour of Power' (.http://www.hourofpower.org/)

As it happened, Tony Campolo was Bobby Schuller's guest, and he was sharing some awesome tidbits. Right on! There are no coincidences, here folks! The video: 'Responding to the Secular Society' is enlightening!

While appreciating their illuminating messages on TV, I also enjoyed a healthy breakfast, that I generally have every day. ie. A half pink grapefruit, 2 soft boiled eggs, with a tid of pepper, melba toast crisps with jam and peanut butter. Also, my elixir of two cups of coffee.

A bit of tidbitz, breakfast is considered to be the most important meal of the day! One does themselves a huge disservice to ignore this vital meal, which promotes the way to wellness and a healthy lifestyle.

It made me think of Gloria Copeland re: her previous series on Healing and Staying Well. Tomorrow morning I look forward to watching her and Pastor George Pearsons. (http://www.kcm.org/).

Then followed by Andrew Wommack. (.www.awmi.net/).

In bittidz closing, I am also thankful for the wonderful bittids of wisdom and knowledge that other ministries share as well! I will be enjoying them later today!

We are now experiencing a bittid of 'April Showers.' However, this does not discourage the joyful chirping of the birds! On the tid contrary, they are singing their little hearts out!
I am hopeful too, to see a bit of a rainbow!

Here is a photo of a few blooms on our Rhododendrum.

We have so many tidbit Blessings to be grateful for! 'Praise Him in ALL Things.'

Peace and God Bless.

Refresh your mind in Christ!

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

Friday and the weekend again! This bittidz week just 'flew!' That being said, I have appreciated and enjoyed a number of wonderful ministries! Thank you, to them for their teachings and insights!

During this week I have watched and listened to Gloria Copeland. www.kcm.org

Her series:'Living in Divine Health' is exceedingly helpful; and today's empowering video: 'Jesus is My Healer' is so uplifting to the spirits! Plus a wonderful testimony!

Gloria Copeland shares about 'Living in Divine Health'; well, methinks best to tune into the website and see and hear for yourselves! I have just turned a certain age myself, LOL! I feel that my mind is more active and positive than ever! ie. Because of the Life and Healing oozing from the pages of the Bible!!!

Also, for those who have not yet invited Christ into their hearts, it is not too late. However, with Revelation 'knocking on earth's door', I would not leave the 'invitation' for too much longer! He wants us to be 'ready.' And the only way of being 'ready', is by making Him Your Lord and Saviour. So that you will inherit and have eternal life in His Kingdom.

On the news today, 'dementia' was briefly discussed; and what can one do to help keep one's mind clear??? Different ideas, such as 'mind games', puzzles, reading etc were suggested - all fine. However, my immediate tidbit thought was / is: 'Why not read the Bible DAILY???' Why not take solid stock in enjoying the Healing of THE WORD from this best seller Book of Truth! Methinks this may help a lot of those who are 'afflicted' with dementia and so forth!

Before I forget, earlier this week before I fell off to sleep, I had a major tooth ache in my back tooth that came on very suddenly. As in an abscess type of thing. Well, on Monday morning I watched and listened to Gloria (on healing) and I pretty much reiterated a few words she powerfully stated to claim the receiving of healing. Do you know that the 'pain' left as quickly as it arrived? The associated jaw, eye, and head pains, and as if a volcano about to erupt, was gone! To me, that is a total WOW!

Needless to say, we have had an interesting week and we have also received a number of tidbitz Blessings! Certain things are happening all at once and to the good!!! It is hard to 'wait' but WHEN you surrender to Relying upon Him in Faith and Trust, and wait upon Him, (as per His Will, His Purpose, and His Plan and in His Timing), things do come to awesome fruition! You can look back on your experiences, with a grateful heart of appreciation and thanksgiving, KNOWING that He has had you in the Palm of His Hand, the whole time!

Today we did a wee bit of weeding to prep our soil for planting. In our planter pots, there were lots of weeds and some returning plants. It felt good being out in our bittid garden and taking in the fresh Spring air! I was thinking of the good and the bad seeds; and while weeding, I stated joyfully out loud that: "We are separating the 'wheat from the chaff." That brought such'good cheer' and an 'inner' peace! I thankfully appreciated and reflected all the more upon our daily Blessings.

We have had 'trials and tribulations' (who doesn't?) however, it is also HOW one endures and handles the hurdles. There are times when one is 'waiting'; but consider that it is Him WHO is 'prepping' you for 'better times!' When He sees you are 'ready' and equipped to be provided with His awesome Blessings, He Answers your Prayers. The Answers to Prayers may even be different, but as He IS our Father, He knows what is best for each and every one of us! This made me think of Gloria's inspiring message today!

I also watched Andrew Wommack's ministry this morning. He shares that God wants a 'relationship' with you, and just simply 'talk'' to Him. And listen to what the Holy Spirit says, and follow His Direction and Guidance for your life! In a tid while, I will also watch Pastor John Hagee with His enlightening message of the Gospel.

Tidbit - May we nuture ourselves in the Life and Truth of the Word! We can apply the Bible teachings to reap and sow our harvest everyday! As shared before, Alan and I live one day at a time. We like to keep things simple; more clarity that way.

Bittid - "And let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we shall reap if we do not grow weary."Galatians 6:9 '

This is a photo that we recently took of our Rhodo! One of His many Blessings!

It is now pouring with rain; a nice night to stay at home. We Thank Him for all our Blessings and 'Praise Him in ALL Things!'

Peace and God Bless.

The Precious Gift of Eternal Life!

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

I know it has been a tidbitz while since I last wrote a post. Call it, that life has a way of getting in the way. We have been working on various bittidz matters and those will be resolved before too long.

That being said, we have reflected with thankful appreciation for each and every day. We do our best to live one day at a time. We have a particular friend, and she is very anxious and can not comprehend our 'train of thought.' I have had to gently repeatedly tell her that we live one day at a time and we are not worried. In fact, we are going to take a wee bit of a 'time-out' to provide us with more clarity. She is a nice person, but very secular. Sadly, she does not understand; and nor does she wish to understand that we are no longer part of this secular world. She has her sadnesses and so forth; and she asks me what can she do about it? I have mentioned to her The TIDBIT Solution - Christ; but she spurns it.

We were at an Open House / House Warming Party on Good Friday; and somehow a woman and I got into a conversation about God. Fine. That being said, she stated that she does not believe there is a God, a Heaven, or an Eternity, and that the Bible is 'just a book.' Well, when I listened and heard enough (a few moments later), I HAD to speak up!

I had watched Joyce Meyer earlier that morning, and she shared that as Christians, we are compelled to 'witness' to others; and not to 'sit back' and be passive and say nothing. ie. We must spread the message of the Good News! My response was that there IS a God, a Heaven, an Eternity, and that the Bible IS the Truth.

A tid of background, I have met this person a few times over the years, and she has never liked me. (Alan has observed that as well). Sadly, she appears to be 'sour.' Well, as it happened, I was 'directed' by the Holy Spirit to 'enlighten' her; and I am thinking out of the whole group, she appeared to be the most caustic and toxic. Why me, to speak with her on this; but THANK YOU to Him and to JOYCE's (joycemeyer.org) poignant message!

The woman was starting to become agitated and quite unpleasant and stated: 'We will choose to disagree" Also, she added that she did not think she offended me as much as I offended her. At that point, 'gentleness' left me. Well, it didn't; but a firm strong commanding voice, came from BITTID 'within.' "Fine, but at least the burden will not fall on my shoulders, that I did not tell you about this and that there is a God, Heaven, the Bible, AND Eternity. I suggest and will leave you with this suggestion: - As you continue to live your life, consider where you would like your eternity to be."

Long story made short, it was a lovely party but most of the people there, were not 'happy campers.' There are NO coincidences. ie. about the invitation to the party. I had been thinking about this particular couple (that we have not seen for some 12 or 13 years) and wondering how they were and if they were still living in their large house etc. A few days later, my friend stops by our place. She was on her way home from Costco and her husband suggested another route to drive home; hence she drove by our place and recognized our car. I just about 'fell over' when I saw her at our door!

Anyway, I invited her in for a glass of wine, which she heartily accepted. Then she told me that they had moved out to our 'neck of the woods' two months ago. That was how the invitation took place. So, pondering, we were 'meant' to go to that party; even if it was just for sharing the message (when put to the tidbit test). We did reconnect with a few (who were not foes) and we hope to re establish some friendships.

So this Easter has been all the more special to us, and in our daily walk in Christ. We have apprecated many a ministry. To name just a wonderful few! Dr. Charles Stanley, Joel Osteen, Hal Lindsey. We also watched Dr. David Jeremiah (www.davidjeremiah.org) and his message on the Resurrrection of Christ and Eternity is awesome!

Also, there was the movie ('Heavenly Match'); and I totally recommend it! The Grace was wonderfully portrayed, and provides a lot of good 'food for thought.' Reverend Casey Hart thanked the woman for her help in reminding her of what her purpose is. I can say the same with regards to the person at the party. A Grateful Thank you!

After that movie, I watched 'Saul of Tarsus' and that was excellent. I received a solid sleep and had a very 'real' dream / vision. ie. Going back to Biblical days, dressed in the 'garb' that the Disciples wore, and that I was with the group of Disciples breaking bread. I can see the Bread most vividly and eventhough I could not clearly see Jesus, I KNEW He was there in the 'cloud' midst as well. I remember being joyful and rejoicing; and that we broke bread several times! The unleavened flat bread, which was close up, was so 'life-like' as well! So yes, this Easter has been very meaningful.

Tidbit - It is NOT too late to Seek Christ and Invite Him into your heart! Truly, deep down, consider where you would like to spend your eternity.

Bittid - Continue to have compassion, understanding, empathy, and LOVE towards others. Be an uplift to all you meet; as well as being a caring witness in sharing the Gospel of the Good News.

Earlier this morning, I enjoyed and appreciated watching Sid Roth, Gloria Copeland (on Healing) and Andrew Wommack. For those of you who have some questions and / are curious, best to tune into these inspirational ministries! Also, the Bible, which is the living WORD of Truth.

Before we forget, our heartfelt condolences to the Schuller fmaily. Robert Schuller Sr was a wonderful servant in His service!

Here is a bittid photo of a colourful and beautiful mix of flowers, combined with a Easter Lily plant that Alan gave me. We are still enjoying the many fragrant and lovely blooms from this special plant!



















Peace and God Bless.
