Answers to Mentoring

Begin Mentoring 

Most child with a great gift or talent

start at a young age.

The child might be coached in a

sport or in a instrument by a parent

who might have the same talent.

The parent might be coaching others 

as well.  

My recommendation  would be to find

someone else to  help in mentoring them.

There  are  other aspects of life these

children could have someone  to  talk to.

Other children should have a mentor 

when they reach around the age of 12.

This all depends on the child. 

Being a mentor I  think a teenager could

be one again depending on the person.

As adults we all should be mentors. Not

only to children but to one another.  👍👍

Change Up

It looks like on Wednesday we

might have snow. I expect not

a lot however show winter has

arrived.

Not a lot means it will not

stay around for long either.

North of where I live will get

more snow than I. Those who

ski can do so now.

I was asked yesterday whether

I was getting ready for

Christmas. I said it isn't December 

yet and that is when I get started. 

So a couple more days.

Like October November went

by fast and I expect December

will to. Stay comfortable and

safe. 😊😊😊

Plugging Away

Our life and purpose can be discouraging 

at times. The  results  are  not what we

are expecting. All we can do is keep 

plugging away.

We must realize  our purpose  is  not 

really  about us but others. At some

point those we spend  time  with will

realize  it or they already  have but we

don't  see it.  This is okay too.

May you be blessed  today. Remember 

to we have others who we learn from

in their purpose.  Might be the time

if you haven't done before to let them 

know. They may return the favor.  ❤️❤️❤️

Good Day

We must realize first waking

up is a blessing to us all.

Life is not assured of us 

every day.

Encourage to do the work of

the Lord. Number one love

him and love others.

Have a smile on your face.

Say hello to all others even

if that is all you can say.

I notice not everyone will

respond but you do your

part.

Bless you and be safe.

😉😉😉

Saying the Following ¹

I am a good  person in the way 

God says I  am.

I believe what God says about me

and I  no longer believe what

others may have. I  no longer

accept  word curses people 

have  put on even as a young

child.

I believe I  am  the person God 

created me to be and live the

purpose he has for me. Amen!

❤️❤️❤️

Family

It was so good to have 

Thanksgiving with my

cousin and her family.

We not only had Turkey

dinner we talked about

family. We prayed for

them as well. 

Today I will be heading back

home. It is about three hours

depending on traffic. Since

still holiday I am hoping the

freeway won't be to heavy.

May you all be blessed and

this be a joyful holiday season.

😊😊😊

Happy Thanksgiving

I want to wish everyone

a Happy Thanksgiving.

The tradition is to have

Turkey, mash potatoes 

with gravy, and stuffing.

Of course, you are vegetarian

or vegan you substitute.

So I say now officially 

holiday season. I know

a radio station already

playing Christmas songs

but I wait until December.

Have a great day everyone.

The Day Before

Here we are the day before  Thanksgiving 

here in the United  States. 

For me the holiday  season begins on 

Thursday. I  know stores have already 

began the season. 

I  am  not sure  which Thanksgiving  or

Christmas is my favorite so I  guess

it is a tie. Both holidays have great 

meaning.

We must be thankful and gracious for 

our lives, purpose, gifts and talents.

We may have lost someone this year

or our health might not  be what we

like, however,  waking  up each morning 

is a blessing.

To those of you outside  of  United States 

I am thankful  for  you to especially family. 

❤️❤️❤️

Be Strong

Often we look at our weaknesses 

and failures. Actually  we can be

strong  in those area.

Why? We give them over to Jesus 

Christ. He can be the strong one 

in those areas.

Blessings  to  you  this fine day.

❤️❤️❤️

Sad News

Last night I  heard  one of my best 

friends passed away early  in the

morning.

I hadn't  seen him a lot as an adult 

which is sad news too. I think the 

last time I  saw him was a couple 

years ago.

I know the memories of him will

live with me for the rest of my life

just like family. 

I look forward  to  service  to remember 

him and see other old friends  and

new ones as well.

I say goodbye  old friend  you were 

special  and one of the great guys.

I enjoyed the great times together. 

❤️❤️❤️

Hello Sunday

Wish you all a happy  Sunday.  Those

of you in USA  a happy  Thanksgiving 

on Thursday.

We all  have a lot to  be thankful.

Even when  things are not going well.

Waking up in the morning  makes

a blessing. 

I  will be busy going to church twice.

Having prayer ministry  late afternoon 

well as church service this morning. 

Much love to you all. May your heart

be joyful.  ❤️❤️❤️

Being Busy

This time of the year life gets so busy. 

I  want you to  know  how much I appreciate 

your time here.

I  am  sure  your reading here whenever 

you can will put a dent into making your

life better. I  do this with all my heart 

and love.

I know many I am sure may have lost

a loved one this year  and my  prayers 

are with you. Though it be coming up

three years since my mother passed away 

I  still  missed. I appreciate you all during

the time of her passing  especially with

covid-19 happening and changing  our

lives.

Happy holidays  as the these days get close.

❤️❤️❤️❤️

Be Great

Yesterday  I  was  the greater 

version  of myself. 

We were created to  be great. 

Wouldn't  it be nice  if we 

encouraged  each other in

this way.

A baseball  hitter may strikeout

three times in a game than hits

a home run or a double to win the

game. He did a great thing though

he failed more often. We should see

each other the same way. ❤️❤️❤️

It's Ok

Have your belief and faith is ok.

You are not to judge others but

they shouldn't judge you either. 

Only you can judge yourself. 

If the person  dislikes or 

hates you move on.

Another person  is not that

important if they don't  care

for you. Move on to those

who do.  ❤️❤️❤️

A Journal

I met a couple at coffee  shop on Tuesday. 

They are going to get married next November. 

They are very  nice and cute together.

I spent my time  chatting with him though

began with her. She was writing  in her journal.

I  asked her if she ever thought of blogging.

She said that she tried  blogging, however,  

preferred  doing a journal which she has done

since she was ten.

What is interesting  she shares her writing in

her journal  with her sister. So over the several  

minutes talking to her fiancée she spent writing 

in journal. 

Even if  you  don't  want  to  share with the world

journal  is a good idea to share your thoughts of 

the day or week.  Whatever  time you have.

❤️❤️❤️

Halfway Mark

It is hard to believe  this November 15

already. I  thought October went by fast.

This despite the fact I  have  had a cold

for two weeks. Christmas  will be here

in a flash. 

When asked how are your day is going

just say I  am  glad  to  be  here another

day.

Blessings  to  you all. May your day

be bright. Amen. ❤️❤️😊😊👍👍

Happy Holidays

I have mentioned  in year's  past 

the holiday  season  is  a good  time 

to share your life with others. 

Of course, you will  spend time 

with family  and  friends, however, 

are others  who could  use your

help.

When you are out shopping  for

gifts a good time  to talk with others.

Not easy since they are looking for

the gifts . You can always  ask them 

what they are look for as far as a 

gift goes.

It is interesting  because  some people 

don't  want to talk while others do.

Find the one who wa to to talk. Doesn't 

mean you stay away from those who

don't  want to talk.

Happy  holidays and enjoy your shopping.

❤️❤️❤️

Past and Present

My advice for whatever  it is worth 

when mentoring or talking with

people  speak about the present 

and the past.

People maybe interested in what 

you did in the past,  however, what

you are doing  now is just as important. 

A friend gave me good advice and

that is to keep it short as well. People 

today are not into long conversations.

At least not on one thing anyway. Look

to see if they are engaging. If  not turn to

something  else.

Last but not least let them talk about

themselves.  Though they can learn

from you people  want to talk about

them and what is going on their lives.

This way you can use your gifting to

help them out if necessary. 

That's  it.  ❤️❤️❤️

Cold and Brisk

Last  week  we had rain and wind.

This time cold and brisk. 

This week until  next weekend the

temperatures between  35 and 45.

Pretty  much  winter around here 

though may get colder though.

Next weekend  expected to warm up 

several degrees and rain. I am sure

we can use the rain, however,  I like

it when the sun comes out for even

a few minutes.

May your purpose  reign and you

make a difference  in other people's 

lives. Amen! ❤️❤️❤️

A Good Reminder

No matter  how many times  to say

so it is important  we all have a

mentor or a good  friend. 

This is someone we feel  comfortable 

with. A person  we can tell  anything 

and know we won’t  be judged.

Also, someone  who  won’t  tell

another soul.

You may not even have to  seek 

this person out. They maybe  right

there without  you knowing already.

Have a wonderful  and blessed weekend. 

❤️❤️❤️

Holiday Season Here

Do you have plans for the holiday 

season already?

When do you begin Christmas  shopping?

I am  sure there are those who have

already done so.

My challenge  is for you to meet someone 

new. Buy a present for each other.

I know not an easy  task  since for some

it is hard to meet  someone new.

Number one thing is to pray and ask God

what he would like you to do this year

for the holiday season you have never 

done before.

This is it.  ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Adding To Our Gifts

When we are faithful to our gifts

God will add another gift or more.

In my case he has given me the

heart to speak to others especially 

those I have never met before or 

don't know very well.  In some 

cases I  may never see again or 

casually.

Another example a person  might

enjoy and have the talent of singing. 

The problem  is  they have hard time

being in front of people on stage.

God may give you the gift to be able

to stand on stage. 

Our personality and  character  have

a lot to do with our success  or failure. 

We may need assistance  to be helped.

❤️❤️❤️

Social Media

Much like everything else surrounding 

our lives social  media has its positives 

and negatives.

I believe we can learn from social media 

as long as we don't  allow it to consume.

Otherwords, decide how much time to

spend on it and the internet in general.

View those who can encourage you

and not those that  are  negative. Don't 

let it be a place to be because your lonely.

There are those  out there on social media 

to scam you.

Enjoy your friends  on social media for a

period of time. In person  interaction is better.

Choose the time of day to go on for a period

and leave it at that. Best to  you. 👍👍

Look Into Ourselves

Often we  look at the gifts and talents

as well as  how the person looks to.

We should never be jealous of others

though understandable.

Other people  maybe jealous of us

without us realizing  so.

Our gifts and talents belong to us

uniquely.  We may share some of

them with others but no one has 

the same full package.

Our purpose  is  to  share the gifts

and talents with the world.  ❤️❤️❤️

Not Easy

I have to say not easy to get over

being sick. I  guess is what happens

when the weather  changes from

summer to winter.

I  am not here to feel  sorry for myself.

I hope  your health is good and you have 

a wonderful  holiday  season.

Amazing  to  think 2023 is about here

and what plans to make. Of course, 

circumstances  happen  that  can change

all things. Most important  is  taking one

day at a time. 😊😊❤️❤️👍👍

Friday Night Winds

Here  in Western Washington  we  had 

the wind blow hard along with rain. It 

means winter is here.

The power went off late in the evening 

for only a moment.  Not sure about 

anywhere  else. The Washington Huskies 

football  game against was delayed as well 

since they had to wait about 25 minutes 

for the lights to  come back on.  I  am  glad 

I  didn't  have wait that long. I  am  sure 

some people  were already  in  bed.

Certainly  been  a long week having my 

head  cold. The doctor  wanted me to take

a covid test so I  did which was negative.

I look forward forward  to  this cold to be

over so I  can  join the world  once again.

I  hope you all have a healthy and good

weekend  while I  hope to be done with

this cold soon. 👍👍❤️❤️

Proclaim

In the Old Testament the prophet Isaiah chapter 61 

he proclaimed he was anointed by God to give 

good news to the poor, bind up the broken hearted

 and set the captive free among other things. Jesus 

Christ said the same in Luke 4.

You may know neither one's life ended well. 

Today we need people say the same thing. 

With the election coming up there are those 

saying negative things. Also, saying we must 

come out and vote. This is true, however, we 

know to there are those who will vote the party

line. I say vote your conscience and not what 

your party says. We need people to stand up 

even pay the price. 😊😊

Another Day

Since I  have  a cold and it doesn't 

seem to  want to go away I have 

to relax  again.

I certainly  miss seeing  people

out and about.  I  guess ok to do

so except  being sick.

When I  feel healthy  again means

I can continue  on. Like most people 

it is hard to  believe it is now November. 

Six weeks from my trip to DC and 

VIrginia. Wow.! Take it easy  all. ❤️❤️❤️

What to Do

When it comes to our life purpose 

it is important  to  exercise our gifts 

and talents.  

It is just like exercising to keep  our 

bodies in shape. The more we do 

our gifts and talents the more we

are in shape. ❤️❤️❤️

What Do You Call It

I came down with a small cold on

Sunday.  I  am  not sure  call it an

obstacle  or inconvenience. 

I  was hoping to  go to a dance party 

on Halloween  night but instead stayed

home to rest and relax.

I  am  sure  there will  be  a few will 

ask why I  wasn't  there. I am  having

some tea and an orange right now.

Life goes on and  see where things 

leave. ❤️❤️❤️
