Our Job and Career

Though our life purpose  is  more then that
job and career is important  piece of it.

Sometimes  people change jobs and careers
several times during the working life. For
instance my brother  has had the career 
in being a business consultant he has had
four different jobs. The company he works 
for now he will  end with retirement. 

He has worked the longest for this current 
firm as well.  Hecis going to get  two pensions
from the first two though not as much with
the last two firms. These last two he gets
an IRA instead. Though his career has been
business  consulting he worked differently 
with each company. 

My brother used his talents to carve a good
career however it moved into the other areas
like his marriage  and  raising  children. All
his children are adults now and he is a grand
father too. We he retires he will use his talents 
and gifts to do other things.  It is always an
adjustments  when that happens. 

Whether you are still working  or  you are 
retired you have high value in your purpose.

Family, Love And Loyalty

On Monday  I was at the gym and I saw a 
guy wearing a shirt that said family, love 
and loyalty  on the back of it. I  thought
the guy had the right thought.

A lot of  people  have  shirts on that have
words and they are not all good. He was
starting the right message.  In our world  
or at least the one I  see some times or
read about this is far from it.

I fortunately able  to  find people  who
share some of the same values I do.
Not sure what the percentage  is however
they are kind to one another for most
part.

I  would put love at the top of list followed
by family and loyalty.  It is so important 
we are loyal to our family and those we 
feel  the closest to.  

I enjoy seeing  those at the gym even if
it is only once in a while. I  like the fact
I  have gotten to know more of them.
I  would call them to be circle of friends 
to some degree. Often friends become
family since we may spend more time
with them  besides family.  I  am  saying 
about our grown siblings then  our spouse 
and children. It doesn't  take away what
they mean to us.  

So maybe this is a good motto to have
family, love and loyalty.  ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Our Age

When it comes to our age we may wonder
if we have anything  to  offer to others and
whether we do have a  purpose in our life.

It is a fair question  to  ask. The three age
groups that may have doubt and wonder 
if they have anything to offer. There is
the youth, middle  age and seniors.

The youth who are not sure they are ready
yet. It is  the parents who can teach team 
that they have a purpose.  The youth can
help help other youths. They can be bold to 
share with those who are older then them.

Middle  age may wonder whether there are
leaning toward the senior group. They have
children in college  or they have grandchildren.
You still have words of wisdom to share with
those who are young and with those who are
in college  you can always ask how they are
doing. You can let them know your experience 
when you were their age. You can speak with
those in your age group who are going through 
the same transition you are and you can let
seniors know they are not forgotten.

Seniors can  be  a  tough time since often those
younger have forgotten  about you and what the
experience  you have to help them to continue in
life. For those who  are  seniors this could be the
greatest time in your life purpose.  Don't  let  fear
or doubt eat you up. You  have the time and you
can spend it with other seniors to encourage. 
Keep your eyes open for those around you. Don't 
let any health issues  get in the way either.

We all need each other regardless  of each one's
age. Our gifts and talents should be shared with
anyone you come into contact with.  When you
wake up ask God what you can do today. Meditate
and see what comes to your mind. Pray those need
to hear what comes to your mind. You can ask for
even one word to share.  ❤️❤️❤️❤️

About Your Experience

In the last post I  wrote about
opening our eyes and about 
looking for others  experiences. 

I hope it all goes well  for each 
of us. It doesn't  matter how old
we are to share where we have
been and where we want to go.

God has a big plan for each of 
us greater than we know. I  have
a friend and fellow church member
at a young age got hooked on drugs.
As a young adult he landed in jail. 
He heard about Jesus  Christ while
in prison and his life turned around.

Now he visits  prisons sharing not
only Jesus  Christ however his life
experience.  God turned him around
to help others who went through the
same thing.

Not everyone  will accept  what we
say however if one person  life turns
than it is worth  it. This is what I  do
with this blog. Whoever has a life
change or has improvement to their
life I am doing a good  thing and doing
what I am here for.  ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Keeping Your Eyes Open

It s so important  we keep  our eyes
open to those who become part of 
our circle.  Those we may have not 
known before or we didn't  think 
would  be in the group. 

There are people that can use our
purpose  and we can use their's  
as well. We can all use a group 
of friends that can make us even 
better.

We should tell others our life 
experiences that will be an
impact on their lives. The 
best way though is to have
them open up about their's.
This happens  more one on 
one.

In a group  setting we can 
speak our experiences more
easily when the opportunity 
arises.

A good way to encourage 
others is for them to open
up. Our similarities and
differences can be an impact
on everyone  involved. We
should known we are here
together.  ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Looking Ahead

Whatever obstacles  we have gone 
through  we can still ahead to the
future as well as the present time.

It is okay to  take a little time  off
though should keep in touch with
those who are friends and the ones
you have mentored or part of your
life purpose. 

It doesn't  mean  while taking  the
time off you have to spend a lot
of talking to them. You can email
or text message or talk on the
phone letting  them know though
you are taking a short break they 
are still on your mind. 

If you made any appointments  
during the time off you can 
extend them depending on the
person. How much time off 
depends on you. For some it
could be a week  or  a month.
Energizing yourself and having
your mind in is a good thing.
Think like you are on vacation 
and you can take a vacation if
it is the best way to energize.

Looking ahead and making plans
is always a good idea although 
today is still the most important 
thing. If you are studying to help
becoming  better person  in doing
your purpose it is good to begin
those exercises  as soon as possible.

May you have a wonderful  weekend 
and your rest or whatever your plans
for it go well.   ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Obstacles That Get In the Way

I have mentioned  before we can be
sidetracked  in our live purpose. 
Mostly  we didn't  know that we had 
a purpose  to begin with.  

I am sure many believe that we are 
here and don't even know there is
a purpose  even if we believe in God.
We may think we live our lives for
a number of years then die. We may
go to heaven.  Purpose  isn't  in our
minds at all. We may do good things
since we are good  people. Possible 
bad people  do good things once in
a while too.

Those who do realize that they have
a purpose  while  living might be
distracted by the world in doing the
right thing or lack of belief or faith.

Right before  I  started writing  this it
came to my mind in the old testament
there was a man named Job. The book
about him is right before Psalms. There
is though he lived right after Genesis.
In any case he was maybe the richest 
man of his day.

Satan came to God to speak about his
servant Job. Satan said to God he believes 
in you because he is rich and has a big
family.  He wouldn't  believe if he didn't 
have anything or a lot less anyway. God
believed something in Job that he told
Satan you can do anything  to Job except 
kill him. God didn't  say about his family.

Satan had Job became very ill along with
loosing everything  including his children.
Job even lost his reputation since his
friends and many that knew him that he
must have sinned against God. Even his
wife wanted him to curse God and die.

In the end Job had his reputation  restored
since he didn't  curse God. His friends were
told by God that they sinned against Job.
The man Job was still  honored by God for
his faith. Don't  know  much else about
Job though God gave him double what he
had before Satan came to him. He had  more
children as well and lived a long life. I  am  
not sure what the total  of  Job's purpose 
however he showed what it means to believe 
no matter what the cost is.

This is the only story  I know of in the  Bible
of it's  type though I  believe it symbols  the
life of Jesus Christ a few thousands years
before  him. I  believe it shows what we can
do no matter  what  obstacles  that can get
in our way and how we can overcome as well. 
❤️❤️❤️❤️

What is Our Motivation

I believe God is behind our purpose. 
We were created  for  a  purpose 
he designed before we were born.

Sometimes as I  have mentioned  
before it takes a while for us to
understand  what our  purpose  is.
I  certainly  know it was for me.

I believe  that  our job or vocation 
sometimes gets us ready for our
purpose.  Our talents  especially  
have to be refined to get our 
purpose where it ought  to be. 

It does come down to us individually.
Some people  know their purpose 
early  in life while others like myself 
takes longer. Success can be happen
at anytime. 

Though God created us for a purpose 
he gives us a choice too. I  think  about
when I  was in high school  I  wanted to
be a sportscaster.  I  knew a lot about 
sports and I  still do. The thing is I didn't
have as much talent back then that I
believe I do now. It isn't  that I was real
bad that there are a lot of good sportscaster
out there. It is like other jobs to.

I  discovered other jobs over the years and
I  am  more mature as well.  If I  did things
over again I would be a sports writer since
I  am  a better writer than a speaker though
I  think I  could do both now.

I am  sure  other people  have done different 
occupations over the years. They go into
retirement from work and find even a greater
purpose.  We have become mature and have
the time to do so. I  am  sure  God's purpose 
and your idea of purpose  will come together
though he has given you free will  on it. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

We Should Know

We should know that we need more.
No matter how good we are at some
things we need others  to help us.

This where we are at. Though we have 
a purpose others are around us with 
their purpose to help us.

Having others will make us stronger.
We will still won't be perfect or all
together strong however makes our
life feel a lot better.

We can think about what are we here
for. We can't just hang out until our
life is over. That would be a tough way
to live for sure. We know money doesn't 
buy us every thing.

We are put into a family to feel better
above us. Unfortunately it doesn't
always work out that way. We maybe 
blessed into a good and lovely family
however not everyone is. The key is 
how people deal when the family isn't
what it should be.  Some are able to
overcome a bad experience why others
don't. This is a good reason to help
others who were put into a bad  situation. 

Keep your eyes open where you can
help someone else who is missing
what you got.  ♥♥♥♥

In His Image

The book of Genesis  in the Bible 
says we are created  in God's 
image.  Quite awesome  if we
think about it.

Throughout  the Bible we can see
what is like. We can think about
what we are like as well.  Of course
we are not up to God's  level.  The
book of Genesis  speaks of the fall
of man in the garden of Eden.

Even so we can think of our potential 
since we are in God's  image. It 
doesn't  mean we are a god ourself.

We can use our imagination to think
that God is like as well.  Just think
our character and personality. God
lives in the light and we can think our
character in the light as well as our
personality.  Unfortunately  we live in 
darkness sometimes  to.

I am imagining taking every human
being on the face of the earth and
our attributes  all together. Well God
has many of the same and a lot more
too.

Let us spend time in our thoughts 
and imagination who God is like.
❤️❤️❤️❤️

Hearing From God

Many Christians  and those seeking
after God want to hear his voice 
and receive words from him.

My experience is  God usually speaks 
with a small voice. He often speaks 
through people  too.

I have heard  several  sermons and
I  have gone to few conferences on
hearing from God.

A good idea if you have felt that you
haven't never from God or it has been
a while is when you first wake up in
the morning ask him to  give you a
verse out of the Bible. Do that everyday 
and I  am  pretty  sure  you will  hear 
from him clearer and  clearer.  

This morning  I  asked God for a word
from the Bible. He gave me Psalm  19. 
It talks about heaven and his righteousness. 

Often I  ask God what he wants me to 
write on this blog. This is how much
he cares about you. He gave me hearing 
from him. He yearns to hear from everyone. 
Even those who don't  know  about him.
He will  even tell you more about your
purpose.  ❤️❤️❤️❤️

It is Ok

Whatever we do in our purpose  it is ok.
It is important  to work on our skills
though.

Right now I  am  working on being a
better  listener.  Although I  love to
talk it is as important to listen. 

Those who don't  talk as much do 
have a lot to say as well.  The important 
thing is to draw it out of them. The
way is to ask questions  that will
allow them to break out. What is
important  to  them. 

Those who don't  talk as much have 
a lot to say however others don't ask
them. It doesn't  mean  they will ever
be big talkers but will be able to share 
what is important.  

So if you know something  about
someone  like their family ask them
and sit  back to listen.

Another skill is to watch for others
body language.  By doing so you will 
see whether  they are wanting  to pick
up what you are saying and get into
the conversation.  This will lead us 
to increase our purpose.  ❤️❤️❤️❤️

How are You?

This is a question  I  am  asked a lot.
How are you? I  am  sure there are
many that are asked the same question. 

I believe that question  is  asked by
those we have met the first time or
we haven't  seen  in a while. How
much time we have s much of a
reason.  Many ways it is a greeting
as well. 

This all comes down to the specific 
person  asking the question.  I  certainly 
don't  want to answer it the same way
always whether positive or negative. 

Wednesday was my grand niece Georgia's 
second birthday. Though I  wasn't  there
to see her since I  live in the Seattle area
she is in St. Louis Missouri so I  did wish
her a happy  birthday.  Anyway  answering 
how are you I say good or great and say 
this is my great niece Georgia's birthday. 
Have enough time I showed the picture 
of her on my smart phone.

Since I  am  one who wants to encourage
others my plan is to have at least one word 
in that direction.  Each morning and find 
out from God what word can I give others 
on  this day.

Since my purpose  is  to  encourage you. I 
may give the same or similar to  what I say
here. Say I  feel the word to say would be
hope. I  will  ask a question  that may sound
like how are you or one that will allow me
to respond back to their answer. 

I know not everyone has the same in their
purpose  to encourage  others or at least
not directly.  Whatever your purpose  is
encouragement is included in there somehow. 

When you awake up think about you want 
to express to others on that day and who
they maybe. They can be your family or
coworkers or customers or anyone you
will meet  in the market place.  Whatever
you do will make an impact on them. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
