Being Great Part 1

Being great  in God's  eyes is 

different  than how we see it.

God desires  a man after his 

own heart.

Being  humble and having faith

would be two areas that  God

would be  pleased with us.

Being humble means we are 

not proud and we don't  see

ourselves better than  anyone 

else. This would be heard to

do in the way we think being

great is.

Faith means we believe  even

in those things we don't see

now and desire to  see. With

faith we can accomplish many

things. Our purpose  will  be

great having the faith to so.

Amen!     

Taking Another Step

How  I mentioned  in the last post

about being realistic we need to take

another step forward  instead of

going backwards. 

The thing though is we learn  from 

going backwards.  It isn't though 

we become great people in our

pursuit of living the of purpose. 

We may become  great people  

because  that is how God sees

us. What is meant by being great

might not be defined by what a

lot of people  see either.

Being great is accomplishing those

things that make a difference in the

world. We have to change our mindset

in what makes someone great including 

us.

We will further explore what being 

great is besides  how we see it. Look

forward to it in some further posts.

❤️❤️❤️❤️

Being Realistic

We have to realistic  that not everyone 

is going to  see us in our life purpose  

the way it should be.

When you are doing  your life purpose 

the way and  how you think it should 

go. The importance  is to see the signs

or something  happens  that may change

things. 

I had something  happen  this week that

I  thought  was doing right. A person  I 

was having a little  time with did not see

things the same way.  They had concerns 

and I  do understand  them. 

The deal was they went to  a  third party  

instead of me. Makes me not feel  right

about it. I  have learned from  the  experience.

The important  thing is if you have concerns 

it is important to go to that person  first

and not a third party.  I  do know that these 

days people  do have to  be  careful.  

So right now our relationship  isn't  where

it could still be. Obviously  they  didn't 

know me as well  as I  thought though 

the short relationship  as I  call it hasn't 

long.

For the meantime  I  am not going to spend 

any talking time with them. We may run into

each other. We will  be in the area on occasion 

though.  I  just hope others haven't got the 

wrong idea. I  do know that I  will be more 

careful  so something  like  this won't happen 

and get the wrong idea.

On positive side I  have learned something too.

The enemy  against our purpose  will find a way

to discredit  us. I  hope you have learned from

this. Have a wonderful  weekend  and may your

purpose  go to the next level.  ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Finding Our Purpose

There are different  ways to go in

our life purpose.  The main question 

most of us ask what are we doing 

here or what was I created for?

Both are really  the same thing. 

I am not here to convince you but

to discover what purpose  God

has for you.

He created you to worship him

and to do his work on earth. The

work you can do uniquely.  

We each have a job however mine 

is different than yours. We could

have similarities but still comes

down to being different. 

If you are married than you and

your spouse have a job to do 

together.  The role for each one

is different.  You will have several

roles or purposes to do. You are

husband then you will be  a father

if you have children and the wife

the mother.  The roles are different 

however the purpose is to make 

your children the best they can be

including  living out their purpose.

Being married  you will be a unique 

couple as well. Working to be the

best you can be together and separate 

at the same time.

Write down everything  you  know about

yourself.  If you are married write down

everything  about your partner. Share

with each other what you have written 

down. You might  know some things

about yourself and some about your

partner.  You likely  find out something 

about yourself you didn't  know and 

your partner to.

Another step is meet with other couples.

Write down what you think about each

couple as partners and individuals too.

Again you find out more about yourself 

and your partner. I  am  not sure you will

know everything  however getting closer.

You have any single friends invite them

along too. 

We each have a great life purpose  that

will expand each and everyday. You have

gifts and talents that you know about.

You use them and more will be added. 

Enjoy your life purpose. I will add more

on this site as I  discover more what I  

find out about our purpose. 

Finally  you maybe a superstar or a

servant that will change those around 

you.  ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Honor One Another

Often we have been  hurt by others.

The truth is we should be honoring

one another.

Weare all created by  the  true and

  great God. We are special on our

own and so is everyone  else.

Instead we let jealousy and lack

of communication  get to us.

We let petty  little  things get 

in the way.

Those who do those things we

should choose not  to  be around.

If we do these things ourselves 

then we should stop.

Honor and bless others today

whether by words or action.

May we pray each person  we

are in contact with whether for

a minute or an hour are blessed. 

Amen!         ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Spring Time

Here in the  northwest  of United States 

it is spring  time.  My favorite  time of 

the year.

I like  it  since the sun comes out

some and we can visit  places 

without too many crowds.

I like the fall for the same  reason 

Where the sun is out for about six

weeks  with occasional rainfall.

The summer especially  July is

good along as it doesn't get too

hot. We are blessed  without a 

lot of humidity. Only happens 

after it gets  too hot.

Winter is my least favorite since

we don't  have  a lot of snow and

have to  visit the mountains.  This 

year we may have had one inch

all depending where you were at.

Winter we get a lot of  rain and I 

prefer snow for several days. 

People  don't  really  favor snow

since we have a lot of hills.  All

depends where you  choose to

live.

Thanks spring  for being good

and thank you  God for bringing 

us our weather  good or bad

when we need it. 

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Your Life Purpose Brings Joy

More than anything our purpose

should give us joy.

This doesn't mean it will be a 

struggle sometimes and other 

people we deal with us will 

always be nice to us.

Joy for doing what we were created

for.  Knowing we have a purpose

gives satisfaction too.

When you think about why you are

doing it the goal will bring joy. 

We All Deal With Disappointments

Sunday at my church I heard early on 

a couple lost twins this week. It hurts

when a member of the family whether

natural or spiritual. 

When you are a part of a church you

hurt as they do. Our grief will not be

as much as theirs however still real.

None of us will know for many years 

ahead however we will have the

answers at sometime. 

We all have had disappointments

at some point in life. Possibly more

than we like. In our minds we want

to know.  Many years later disappointment

can still linger along. I certainly know 

it has in my life.

I still can't wait until some desires

do happen. I have to trust God knows

what he is doing. The definition of

faith is believing in what you haven't

seen. Though it is difficult I still

have to believe. In the end God will

say well done Herb. The reward will

oversee the disappointment.

Satan the deceiver will want us to

believe otherwise. Words and thoughts

will creep in saying you don't deserve it

or you blew it or something else

that is not true.

We are in a battle. You are an overcomer.

You are a warrior. You have come

this far no matter what Satan says. This

is true even if it is hard to believe

right now.    ❤❤❤❤

Being A Good Friend

The number one thing is for us

to be a good friend. I am sure 

most of us remember our  best

friend while growing up.

Those who still spend time with

their best friend growing up are

very blessed. 

Being a good friend means that

you will be there for each other

no matter what. 

A good friend means that you could

be a mentor for them. They could

be for you as well though another

person be fine too.

Correction or giving advice is a

positive reason to have a good

friend. 

A good friend is one you can

do anything with as well as 

talking.. What is great is one

of your children work out 

having a friend with one their 

children. Also spouse's are 

good friends.

We may all have several friends 

however  there is usually only a few

you will call close.

Whether a person becomes close

or not still means you have a good

friend. 

A friend will stick closer than

a brother.    ❤❤❤❤

A Fierce Tongue

Our speech by the tongue can give

life or death.  Many of us are not

living our purpose  exactly  as  we

were created to because of words 

some others spoke to  us.

We have to watch the words we 

do say. Many relationships  have 

ended with wrong words spoken

whether entended or not.

Often it is the tone of our speech. 

We have to speak  with a positive

tone. This is where humor comes

in. Even humor spoken incorrectly 

can bring harm to. We would  know 

this as teasing.

Unkind words can happen said

said because of bitterness or

jeleousy. We should stay away

from both. Even truth can break

friendship  too.

The most important  thing  for 

all of us to do is think before 

we speak. Let our words be

encouraged  for others. 

❤️❤️❤️❤️

My Home

Over the centuries  people have

looked for a new home. United 

States exist a lot for this reason. 

First began from those coming

over from Great Britain to get

away from ruling party.  Many

more have come from all over

of the world. They still do to 

this day.

God has blessed the United States 

like no other. There are other 

countries who have been blessed 

as well  for what they have helped

other people  from the abuse in

their country. 

Often people forget what has

happened and no longer follow

what has happened before.

Even here or elsewhere  there

are places to be a new home.

You looking for a new home

for any reason go for it. ❤️❤️❤️

Obstacles Can Be Overcome

None of us likes obstacles and 

can be annoying.  They can give

us hopelessness  too.

On the other side  they can give 

us strength  as well.  We might 

not think of it while we are in 

the middle  of it.

Just think how strong we are. 

The obstacles  can play a major 

part of it. We don't  necessarily 

rejoice  over it however  it is

what life is.

Learn from  anything that came

your way today  and  tomorrow 

will be better for it. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Have A Smiling Face

In Matthew  5 Jesus  Christ said  

we must be the light of  the  world. 

I figure this means  we must have 

a smile on our face as often as 

we can.

There are times where a smile 

is hard to come by however it 

does really  help. I  know I feel 

better when I  see someone 

has a smile when I  don't  feel 

like smiling. 

Being consistent  and  faithful 

is another way to be the light.

The ones I respect the most

and gives me hope are those

who are sick. They may  even 

know they may even be dying.

I have known a few personally 

and they never doubted their

faith knowing that heaven was

the final  destination. They knew

they were going home though

life was shorten. 

We should all feel  better this

way. Wake up in the morning 

with a smile. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
