The Light

  No matter what country we live 

in there seems to be a lot of darkness.

The hope is that the light will prevail 

as it ought to.

Our purpose today should be to

help bring things to light. In my

state of Washington there is so

much confusion. I do see a lot of 

good people but the light still

needs to shine here. 

My state of Washington is among

the worst when it comes to the cost

of living. The cost of gas went down

50 cents for a short period of time 

however going up again while most

of the country gas is almost half 

as much.

Don't want to complain since

I know where many of you live

far less than here.

Keep up your good work and may 

your life be an example to others.

Our Mental Health

Doing some reading I have found

that our life purpose helps with

our mental health. 

Knowing the direction our lives

makes us feel good about ourself.

Those who deal with mental 

health  may not have direction. 

This is can be true for those who

ba e been told they don't have

anything to offer.  

When I was five I was able to

start talking English after having

issues with my hearing. It took me 

years to have confidence in reading 

though I learned to write much faster.

As a young child it is easy to have

lack of confidence around other 

children. I was blessed to have 

a family that helped me. I know

not everyone has a good family 

around them. In fact family can 

hurt or help a young person.

Those of us with a life purpose 

we can help those who are looking

for there's and encourage them.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Looking Into the Needs

Out purpose should include the 

 needs of others.

We can give food and clothing

to the poor. Also we can a

volunteer to help anyone in

need. 

Go to the streets to see anyone 

who might look lonely. Pray 

for the sick. Encourage those

who need a smile.   💗💗💗💗💗

Our Value

I was listening on the radio on Tuesday radio.

They were talking about the value of the

players who are going to be free agents for

the Super Bowl Champions Seattle Seahawks 

Who they could keep or not.

Made me think that we all have value.

We may not make the money these

players do however doesn't change

the value we have. 

Each of us have the same value we

just have a different purpose on why

we are here.  What you do might be

different than me but doesn't change

the value. Some people may put higher 

value on what seems important to 

them. The reason athletes and those

in entertainment make more money 

most of us do. It doesn't change our

value especially at it in eternal 

perspective.  ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Preparation

We should be thankful for the gifts

and talents we have however it 

still takes preparation.

Those who are successful in their

job or whatever their calling is it 

takes some preparation as well.

It would be nice to go out and just

do it. We can however the most

success comes from preparation. 

May you be prepared in all you

do. It often takes more time than

actually doing whatever we are 

doing and it is worth it too.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Being Good

It is so important to be as good as

we can possibly be.

I don't consider myself a teacher.

I write what comes to my mind.

If anything I am a local missionary.

This means I care for those around 

me.

My purpose is to speak encougement

with those who I meet. Some I see

more often while others I may see

only. For them it is they feel better

about themselves after we meet.

It would be nice to be known though

I know some don't care whether they

are known or not. Mainly I want

people think to themselves that I

met this man Herb who is a good 

person.

 Being good does not mean that

I am perfect. I am far from that.

None of us is as good as we ought

to be but doing the best we can is

good. Mostly I want people realize

that I like them whether they a lot 

like me or not.  ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Unconditional Love

The New Testament has a word "gape"

which means unconditional love. This 

is the most common type of love

mentioned.

Jesus Christ showed unconditional 

love by being crucified on the cross.

Our purpose should include unconditional 

love to everyone especially those we

come into contact with. 

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Watching the Olympics

It is amazing to watch the Winter 

Olympics. I know those who don't 

finish high are still among the top

in their sport. Sometimes tradegy 

happens when the one is expected 

to win doesn't. They have to work 

hard to get back to see about 

winning in four years. 

This gives us a perspective in our

purpose to work hard and even

when it doesn't work out like we

thought we should never give up. 

Sometimes those we mentor or

work with don't make it but it

means we have to work harder

to have the success.

We have high value in our gifts

and talents as much as the 

Olympians and to never forget it.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Pushing On

Having gout last week as I mentioned 

it is so important to keep pushing 

on no matter.

I have been feeling tired though I have 

been back to exercising. Gave me the 

conclusion we need to keep pushing 

on no matter what..

Even though we might have to take

more breaks it is so important. 

I am going to pray for myself as 

well possibly taking some additional 

medication.

I am going to the the doctor next 

week of I am still filling the same.

It is so important to going on in

our purpose.  ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Taking It Easy

Now that I am over my gout for

the time being I am taking it 

easy. It is much like physical 

therapy.

Tuesday as I did Sunday and Monday 

I went for a walk but not as far as I 

usually do and slower too.

Walking is a good way to get over

hurts to your foot or ankle. 

Stretching is a good way to help as 

well. Now that I am taking a kick

boxing class once a week I am

using to do so at home to on other

days. It is important to stay healthy 

even if you have only ten minutes 

to do a day or maybe twice or three

times. In the same way we should 

do with our minds. 

Remember not to stop using the

talents God has given you. It is

the benefit for others as for yourself.

❤️❤️❤️❤️

How Does The Future Look

What is the future going to look like?

If you haven't read Revelations it is

something to read in the Bible. It is

the last book.

Right now the world doesn't look

good. Most have strayed away from

God.  We must go back to God or for

the first time for many. 

These days people through judgement 

on others or hate especially on social 

media.

I enjoy reading others who encourage 

even through the dark times.

At least where I live the young people 

looks like they are strong. I like to see

their purpose to go to other countries as 

well as parts of United States to encourage 

and be strong at the same time.

So many adults are living on the dark

side and living on the wrong road.

It is important not to judge others

no matter what they look like on the

the outside. It is so easy to judge

others though especially when they

don't look like you or where they live.

God looks at our hearts and we must

do the same.  Encourage and stay

silent if you want to say something.

I am far from being perfect. So why

judge another.   

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Being Extraordinary

Having Wisdom

It is important to ask for wisdom.

None of us have the wisdom we 

should have no matter how smart 

we think we are.

Being smart is not the same thing

the wisdom. We may know many

things however wisdom comes 

up when we don't have the answers.

We may have the wisdom to let

someone know when they don't 

know the answers they are seeking.

When you see someone  struggling 

in some area ask God for wisdom

to help that person. You have the

faith God will give you the wisdom

that will change the situation.

I pray that wisdom will upon you.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
