Getting To Know People

It is important to get to know

people. The reason I get out

to use my purpose is to get to

know what they are like.

Here in the United States we have 

so people that are from elsewhere.

We have people not only from other

areas in the United States but

those come offer countries. 

The population in my community 

has grown a lot since I was a child

however it still a small town. There

is more building of homes and 

apartments in the north end.

When I was a child the north was

all forest.  Now it is more population 

than the original town though it has

grown as well.

The largest trouble now is the roads 

and getting the traffic larger. What is

disturbing people drive slower on the

highway when I think they can go faster.

Again I find it interesting to know people 

and help them at the same time. To use

my personality and encouragement.

We have a good population of those

from the military since we have the 

army,  Navy and Air Force. It has been 

this way since I was young. 

Those who move in it is good to them 

aquainted with other and join community.

Getting Over Sickness

There are different types of sickness

and fortunately I just caught the 

common cold. It is still frustrating 

no matter what.

The bright side it allows me to

think what to do for my purpose 

in the future. I hope it works for you

too. 

I am not sure if I have had a cold 

in August before. Quite interesting 

isn't it. Maybe I won't have  one 

in winter and I am not on vacation

either.  ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Being Compassionate

One of the gifts is being compassionate. 

There are some who are compassionate all

or most of the time so they have the gift. 

The rest of us in general are compassionate 

when people are going through tough times

or very sick. Also when areas are having

extreme weather like hurricanes, tornados, 

eartbquakes, and fires to name of a few.

This is especially true of loss of life  or

loss of homes and properties. 

Those with compassion as the gift are 

likely praying a lot for those who they may 

not know.  We know somewhere in the 

world these things are happening all the

time. Encouragement, faith,ove and hope 

go along with compassion. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

A Positive Impact

Our life purpose will give us a positive 

impact in the life of others. 

We don't always have to see the impact

as much as knowing it is there.

There are those we know have made 

impact into our lives. We can do the 

same in the manner of our purpose.

I try using my humor as well as my

smile and a positive attitude. It doesn't 

mean that everyday is perfect. In fact

likely not as often as I like but still

can make that impact. 

It is good to share what is important 

to you and what you enjoy doing at

the same time.  Whether a minute

or an hour we can make a impact. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Make Yourself Known

It is important that we make ourself 

available and known to others. 

How we go about it does depend 

in our purpose and who we are 

called too. 

There are those we will spend more

time with then others. It doesn't 

mean avoid some. Everyone should 

be available to us even if it is only 

once in a life time. There are those 

who we meet as an invitation by God

only once although we will never know

for sure.

These people who we meet in this way

we should see them as a friend anyway.

We will have impact hopefully positively.

This is why we make ourself available.

The same way they make themselves 

too.  Make this true by trying one day

and see how it goes.  ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Feeling Good About Ourself

Our purpose should allow us to feel good

about ourself and the other way around too.

Every person we speak to should make 

us feel better. In this age though it doesn't 

always happen. There maybe some who 

may not like us at all. We have to accept 

that.  

I know here in the United States political 

and religious beliefs can make many

angry too. Freedom of speech allows

that too. Sometimes people go overboard.

I certainly know it was during covid.

Important to be hospitable no matter what.

You don't agree with someone best to stay 

quiet. Who you are can change people.

 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Enjoying August

Here in Washington State in August 

we are experiencing some smoke.

There are fires in the east side of

the state where some people are

being evacuated. Someone actually 

started the fires. Up closely in

British Columbia Canada they are

experiencing the same. 

We are having above normal temperatured

as this is the last month of summer though

may drag into September.

Please pray for us as well as whoever 

else you do. May your country be blessed 

too. May you make a blessing to all those

around you. Let your smile and humor

be a joy.  ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Having Goodness

When we have goodness it is a gift

from God. Some people believe 

they are good when they measure 

themselves against others.

God has a standard and  we don't 

meet that in our natural way.

We must accept him and give

our life to him. We have to confess

that we are not goid in our

current state

When we accept Jesus Christ  into our

life we become good. however it still 

takes work.

We can put this goodness into

practice with our purpose. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

 

  

Bring Healing

With our purpose we should bring healing 

to others.

We can use our gifts and talents along with 

other ways. It is more than praying.

Healing can be either physical or spiritual.

We can give money or support. A smile 

can go a long ways.. Encouragement or

hope or love. Healing can come in many 

forms. Knowing that we are there can go

a long ways.

If you want to know how to be healed 

than you do the same. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ 

Our Attitude

Our attitude should be positive all the

time. It isn't always easy as we know.

We need to be around those who are

positive as much as we can too.

There are those who might not be

positive however they need our help

to become positive. We can learn

from them.

If you are shy just say hi to someone.

You might be surprised what happens.

Even though I am a talkative person 

I enjoy it when someone new says 

hello.

When I was walking on Wednesday a

woman said hello to me. She said

her name is Kelly. I had seen her 

while walking before.  I am sure

she saw me before too. Usually she

was walking with someone else 

however this time alone. 

Kelly wanted to know where I grew up.

She actually knew someone living

in that area. Found she is a teacher 

and taught someone with that name.

I am pretty sure was his grandfather.

He still lives there moving into the

house he grew up in.

She had a basketball in her hand and

I had seen her shooting in the gym

before.  I found out I knew her high school basketball coach as well. So these

conversations are good. I look forward 

to more of them with her. At least until 

school starts in a few weeks.

Keep your head up and s smile even

when yiu don't feel like it.  ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

 

Self Improvement

A lot of us look to do self improvement.

We do it through dieting, exercise or

life style.  A good  thing  though we

may not think it is enough. 

Our life purpose can help others as well 

as ourselves.  We can do it to feel

better than think we like ut to be even

better.  We are going to make mistakes

no matter how hard we try. The main

reason is we aren't perfect.

It is not the idea of self Improvement 

however we may have to take it easier

one step at a time. We may have to

realize we may never reach our goal

Stress is a big killer so we should 

try not be stressful. God intends to

be the leader of our life and we must

be ok with it. He can tell us what to

do but the main thing is to let him

do it. We should not be surprised he

knows us better than we do.  ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Things Happen

It is interesting how accidents happen 

when doing our purpose or not. I see

that happens in sports often. 

Professional sports careers don't last long.

Injuries happen or someone better comes

a long. The athletes have to decide whether

their purpose is to teach or be a mentor in

the sport they love or their purpose goes in

another direction.

Even if they go another direction what they

did or learn from the sport will have an effect.

Everything we experience and learn goes 

into every part of our life.

One of my instructors at the gym jumped 

into the pool and broke her foot. She will

be out for a while. I am sure the  break will

drive her somewhat crazy. I am sure she

won't do it again. How effective she will

be we will see. 

Stories like this we can learn from. At the 

same we may have a similar experience in 

the future.  We can share with others. 

Our experience can help others not to make

mistakes.   ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Receive Our Purpose

I have mentioned before God has given

us free will to have a relationship with 

him or not. The same goes for our 

purpose. 

I am sure many don't know they have

a life purpose. I certainly didn't for

many years. 

We were born with a purpose. We were

given gifts and talents  along with

personality. They make up our purpose.

How we use them is part of the purpose 

too. 

Those who have a fulfilling life they

are living their purpose. On the other

hand those who don't are not or not

at the level they should. We have that

choice to do so.     

There are those who might not like our

purpose.  We have to decide whether

it is worth it or not. A good example is

Donald Trump the president of the 

United States. Many don't like him being

the president and a lot of them even

hate him. He still chooses being president 

of the United States. We may not be where

he is at but there could be those don't like

us either. Our choice do we stay with our

purpose or not.  Something to think about

and the cost. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
