Raising Up the Next Generation

In the state of the world is in

it is so important  to  raise up

a generation  that stand firm

and not fall to what the world  

is giving.

The world is giving the opposite

of what each young person even

though it is enticing. What we see

is success might not be at all.

We continue  to  walk on the solid 

road and it is easy to go on a poor

road. 

The job with the younger generation 

is becoming tougher for the parents

to do it alone. In fact the young people 

are being enticed by others to follow

them. 

I recommend  parents to find other

people to help your children out.

They could be friends of yours who

have your values to and invite your

parents to come too and other

grandparents  of friends. 

May your day be good and know

your purpose  is  never done

❤️❤️❤️❤️

Being Faithful

It is so important  for us to be faithful 

to those we mentor  or disciple as long

as we can or they need us to be.

A lot depends  on the person.  How much

they mature overtime.

In the age of the phone and technology 

we can share  others real quickly  even

we are not together in person. 

It is still  important  to  spend some time 

face to face with other people, however

phones allow to video chat or text message 

when not talking the old fashion way. 

This allows us to be available  to  anyone

anytime. This is where being faithful comes 

in. We know those we mentor or disciple 

when they are mature they can help us as

well that is the key.

We hope they are mentoring  others too.

I know a gentleman  for many years

who has discipled many young men 

on the campus of Pacific! Lutheran 

University  where several have become

pastors and others having success 

in discipline. This doesn't  count the

multiple  students he had as elementary 

teacher.  He has been retired from teacher

for a while though never stopped discipline.

It doesn't  matter the profession you are

in there are those who can be helped by

you whether it has to do in the are of

expertise  or someother  area.

Those who continue to mentor or

discipling we thank you for doing

so. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Being Shaken Up

Sometimes  we end our life  shaken

up to make it even better.

This could happen  in  different ways.

Positive way would be a blessing 

coming into our life.

Another would be a tragedy that

might take time to get over however

makes us stronger  over time.

Helping others who are going through 

a difficult  time  can help us out too.

We can only know we are shaken 

up how much we can take. 

May you be blessed and be a blessing 

today. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Drawing In With Others

It I so important  we spend time with

others. . We  must be drawn  in a

small community  of people. 

I know some people  have trouble 

by withdrawing at times. This is

when others are important  the

most.

This doesn't  mean  that we have 

to spend lots of hours with others,

however,  talking in some form of

communication is good. 

For  some it is important  to have

communication everyday.  Our

society  makes life so busy it

is hard to do so. With what we

have with phones we don't have

to speak with our voice.  

This means we can message an

individual or a group saying I am

doing well  and this is what has

happened or in reverse I am not

doing well.  They may respond 

quickly  or after a little while. You

can leave a voice mail or a text

message.  

There are times we all need to get

away for a day or a few hours. You

can let others know the same thing.

You are out of the office or whatever 

way to say it. If you can tell them

your whereabouts that would be

good to just in case of an accident 

and you can't respond then.

Have a great day  and may life be

good for you. Keep  your family and

friends close.  ❤️❤️❤️❤️

A Blessing

We.can be a blessing  in  several 

different  ways.

We can exhort people  with words.

We can bring food or clothing

We sing with or without  instruments. 

A song or a hym.

We can ask them their favorite song.

In our minds we can ask ourselves 

how we would  like to be blessed.

We could do the  same or something 

similar. 

Most of all being there and be a good 

listener. Amen!   ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Injustice

We live in a world  where  there is

a lot of injustice.  There are likely 

many  feel injustice by being who

they are.

God created us for a purpose  in our

original design.  Unfortunately  we 

are not told by our parents, family,

friends and teachers. 

Here in United States  we are still

in a free country  though it doesn't 

always  feel that way. Even in a

free country  we can meet  injustice.

Many times that has to do with the

color of our skin,  our background 

or physical defiencies. We may not

fit into what others see or expect. 

Injustice can happen by us being in

the wrong place at the wrong time.

We could be arrested by misunder-

standing  or we look like someone  

else. Also for our religious  beliefs. 

This doesn't  even meet with injustice 

by living in a country  that doesn't 

believe in people's rights. Those who

don't  have injustice in these countries 

for the most part were not born in

the right. There are those who do

overcome this type of injustice.

In the end the injustice  we meet that

we had no control over we can overcome

and  your purpose  might be exactly to

do so. In the Old Testament there is a book

called Esther. It was about a young woman

who became a queen though she was

Jewish.  There was a man who wanted 

to get rid of every Jewish  person where

he lived. He tried all he could by going 

to the King. In the end his life ended by

being caught in the presence of Esther.

She was created for just for that time.

The same could go for you as well.  You

might be right there to help  the injustices

that are around you everyday.

I pray  that you know the exactly the reason 

you are here and everything  becomes plain.

❤️❤️❤️❤️

Knowing How Faith Works

A good question  is  how  faith works. 

A lot  of  people  don't think they have

a lot of faith or none at all.

Faith is believing  in  what you don't 

see. So whether you have a lot of

faith or little  you do have it.

Jesus  Christ  said  to faith like a

mustard seed. Well a must seed 

is small. So any measurable amount

you have.

Did you know when going to work

or wherever  you  go  today you

have no idea how everything will

work out. That is faith going

despite what you don't know.

I have faith that I  am  going to the

gym today and have a good workout. 

I may see friends or meet new people.

There is a chance I may not even

make it to the gym. My car might 

not start or there is an accident on

the way. I could even get sick and

turn around go home.

Every time you sit down the chair

could be broken  however you have

faith that it is safe. Eating breakfast 

that everything  will go well. These 

are things you regularly do and faith

is working since your believing in

what you don't  see. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Rise Above The Disappointment

We all go through disappointments.

The key is to overcome. 

I know it isn't easy. I have been

in this place quite a few times

myself.  Encouraging you helps 

me as well. 

First thing is to let God know that

you are upset with being disappointed.

He wants you to be honest with him.

I know by experience it It's easy to

hide our feelings. 

You need to be more assured let

someone close to you know your

disappointment. If someone has

made you disappointed it is a good

idea to let them know. They might

not even know and how they react 

can make you feel good. Don't

make them feel guilty though. 

Your purpose may include sharing

disappointment with others too.

We may not even realize how we

feel this way.  It could have happened

years ago. We will feel so much better.

If you write a journal or want to start

one list each time you become

disappointed. Also list when you

feel good about yourself. Putting

our feelings on paper is good.

❤️❤️❤️❤️

Stand Pat or Not

The question  is  do we stand pat

or not. The answer is no.

We need to continue  on our  way

to grow in our life purpose. 

It is  easy  to  stay where we are

comfortable  however  there are

greater days ahead. 

Just think of those in the United 

States in the 1800s who decided 

to go out west and not stay where

it was easy and comfortable. 

Most of them had hardships making

their way and some died on the way

as well.  This can be both a physical 

and spiritual  way to go.

There is more of a frontier to find.

There are those who we meet on

the way that can use our guidance 

and at the same time we receive 

something  greater too. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Your Free Time

So many are busy however there 

has to be a way  to  find free time.

Free time most people  work

with hobbies. Defining your 

hobbies is  a key. It can be 

part of your life purpose too.

There are always  people around

when it comes to your hobbies.

In fact they  can be a hobby in

itself too. 

I see many have sports and or

travel for their hobby. If you are

single it is a good way to find

someone  else to be involved. 

If you are married or have a

partner finding another couple 

to do this hobby  with is good 

too. This will make your purpose 

feel even better.  ❤️❤️❤️❤️

One Step At A Time

It is so important in life

to take one step at a 

time. 

Some steps we may fail 

however keep going is

the key. We might fall

many times but we have

victory each time we get

up.

When you see another 

fall pick him or her up

as well. We should be

excited that we are here

to help others besides

just living life for a period

of time that goes by a

flash.

It is so important to learn

and grow along the way.

When another person 

comes to our mind we

should pray for them 

and if possible call or

text them. 

May this day be another

of blessing to walk and

lift others up who have

fallen on the side of the

road. ♥♥♥♥

What To Look Forward To

We all have areas of weekness

where we don't feel that we can

do our life purpose.

Often the weaknesses are in

areas we are called to do our 

purpose. All we can do is press

on and do our very best.

We can't let Satan get the best

of us. We must have  faith in God

and our purpose. 

We must battle when our minds

say this is impossible. Let you

know I am in the same place as

you I am no different. I am here 

to encourage you and myself

at the same time.

May you be  blessed this weekend

in whatever you do. Encourage

others as well as yourself. Get 

help when you need it too. ♥♥♥♥

A Good Walk

Exercising is a good thing

always. Walking can heal

many injuries. I know it

has helped me on many

occasions.

On Wednesday I walked

outside as it was a good

outside. November it doesn't

happen as often as I would 

like for raining weather. I have

seen some people still walk

when it is a light rain. 

I figured it was a good time to 

be outside and have fresh air.

Also good to meet other people

and on occasion someone I 

haven't seen in a while.

Like I have mentioned before we

are all unique and some don't

talk as much as others. That is

OK.  At the very least it is good

to say hello and know that they

are acknowledged. Who knows

it could be a day they could use

our help. This is the best deal.

So have yourself a wonderful day

and acknowledge someone

whether you are busy or not.

♥♥♥♥
