Building Together

It is so important for  us build together..

The early  Christian church were sent 

out in twos to bring in new converts.

When you  get  married the two build

a family together. 

A business starts usually  small and

builds together. 

Whatever we do is start with small 

beginnings and build together.  Amen!

❤️❤️❤️❤️

Called Out

We are all called out to do something  for 

our purpose.  This includes those who are 

quiet naturally. 

It doesn't  mean  we have to talk a lot

however we do when the opportunity 

arrives. 

Often people listen to the quiet ones

since when they do speak it is important. 

My dad wasn't  much of a talker but when

when he did it was wow!

Here my purpose  is  to  encourage you.

I realized this morning  I  must encourage 

myself to. Amen! ❤️❤️❤️

Happy Wednesday

Hello everyone  I  hope your week has gotten 

off to a good start and you are blessed. 

After staying  home on Monday  for my gout

I returned Tuesday  to the gym. Of course, I 

took it easy  as well.  I plan to go once again

Wednesday.  I  will take it easy again until 

it is all cleared up. Can't  keep me off the

horse too long.

Taking it easy at least means I am able to

see others at the gym which is the most

important  thing. Sitting  home mending 

my wounds isn't  fun at all as you can imagine.

I soak my left foot in the morning as well 

as when I  get home. Continue  praying my

gout will totally  go away soon. Thanks

and Amen! ❤️❤️❤️

Use To Your Benefit

A lot of people  are  not on social

media because of the negative 

things or evil things.

I understand  that  so we need to 

use self control for those of us that

do.

This means to limit our time on

social media and not see things

we should not. Those who can't 

do both shouldn't be on it.

It isn't  just social media it is chat 

lines as well. I find being on it more

than I  should so I  am  limiting my

time on it.

The most important  thing  is  to 

use social media for our Benefit.

We must all be wise. ❤️❤️❤️

Make Things New

Now a new day and week can be new.

We can forget the mistakes  of yesterday 

and last week.  

Look to God for his grace and mercies.

He forgives every  sin and   when

we ask.

We might make the same sin each day

however we are sincere he forgives.

Jesus  Christ  said to his disciples when

they asked him how often to forgive 

someone  he replied seven times seventy

and that is each day. Amen! ❤️❤️❤️

Up Early

I find it soothing to wake up early 

in the morning.  I  know some are

early  risers while others prefer to

sleep  in. 

I know to some get up early  for 

work but sleep on their days off.

Getting  up early  means sometimes 

I have to take a nap in the afternoon 

or go to bed early. 

My dad was an early riser. I  probably 

followed him. The thing was my bedroom 

wasn't  far from the kitchen and living

room so I  could hear him.  Otherwords 

he woke me up. 

Another reason  as a young child I was

sent to bed early  like most so became

accustomed  to being  up early.

In the winter it is easier to go to bed

early  since it gets dark sooner, however, 

it is still dark in the morning.  Spring and

summer it is lighter so want to  stay up

later. Such is life. Lol.  ❤️❤️❤️

Talents We Have

When we are born with certain talents. 

God adds on gifts as we get older. In the

Bible gifts and talents are interchangeable. 

The times of the Bible talents have to

do with  money or what you have to barder

with others as well.

Talent like being a musician or a carpenter 

and you could say a gift at same 

time.

Whatever you call  it is a talent given by

God as a gift. You are a talented person 

who was given it as a gift. ❤️❤️❤️

Good Grief

We never know what might happen  in 

any given time, however,  we have to

live with it so to speak. 

Wednesday  night  my left big toe was

hurting badly.  It was just before bedtime.  

I got up off my couch. I  thought why is

the toe hurting  so much.

Thursday morning it was  still hurting

so I  went to doctor.  He said that he believes 

I  have gout. I  couldn't  believe it though 

though understandable my dad had gout 

when I  was  16 so a bit younger than me.

I did a search and found if you have a parent

or sibling that had gout you have greater 

chance of getting  it than others.

When it comes to strong holds there is one

called generation curses. It can come to you

if you have parents or grandparents or even

further down the line. A lot of different issues

in our lives including health can be past down

to us. If you know of any family issues like health 

I recommend you pray against these curses.

Amen! ❤️❤️❤️

Wonderful Grace

We should be thankful for waking up

each morning  and  the wonderful  grace 

given to us.

It isn't  just  life and our purpose but

the mistakes and sins we make.

Sometimes  we are not grateful for

the life given to us. We take things

foregranted  often.

Let grace and love rule ourselves 

from this day forward.  ❤️❤️❤️

Good Start To Spring

Here in Western Washington

spring has gotten off to a

good start. 

Winter was such it seemed

like it was never going to end.

Spring temperatures started

like three days before spring

was official.  We have had 

a little rain on Monday but

the sun has been out a lot.

I wish you all a wonderful spring

or fall depending where you live.

May God bless you mightily. 😊😊

Being Thankful

Always being thankful when

waking up in the morning.

Ask God what his plans for

us today. We have plans of

our own but he can change 

them.

We may go to the same place

we did yesterday like work, 

however, the people we meet

or the things we do will be different.

If we are not working the weather

may decide where we may go.

Be thankful for today as it is today.

Amen! 

To Hear

The number one purpose is for us

to worship God.  The number two

purpose  is  to  hear from  God. 

God gives us free will to worship

and hear from him.

Sometimes  we hear from God 

without realizing it. It can be

wherever we are at. We may

hear  from him through other

people.

Often people won't  want to 

hear from God in what they do

hear. God will speak to you

in love. This is true even if it

is for correction. 

Often people  will not listen 

believing their faults or sins

God won't  listen or talk to them.

Let you know I  make many mistakes

throughout  the day and God still 

speaks to me. Whether I  always listen

that is another  story.

Why I am  saying this is he told me

to say he wants to  hear from you.

Amen! ❤️❤️❤️

Testimonies

Saturday night I was at  a church

where over twenty testimonies

including mine.

It is great to hear where people lives were

and where their lives are today.

They are are living their lives for Jesus

Christ and have a life purpose. It is

good to know what life gives you when

you wake up in the morning.

It doesn't mean our lives are perfect

and we need God to lift us up.

Have a great day and blessings to all.

Passwords

I had another weird dream I remember 

when waking up this morning. 

I have mentioned most of my dreams

are weird that I  remember. I am not

sure of the meanings of them. I  hope

to remember some in the future  that

have significant meanings. I  hope

you have such dreams you remember. 

This dream had to do with passwords.

I found items in storage and each one

had a password.  There were stickers

on each one with a clue  to the password.

I  was able to open with the password.

May you have many blessings  to your

weekend. I am sure you have the right

password  for whatever needs opening 

up.  ❤️❤️❤️

Happy St. Patrick's Day

I want to wish everyone  a  wonderful 

St. Patrick's Day.

I know everyone  celebrates the day in

their own way. Not sure it is all good.

Be sure you are safe out there.

I am primarily  celebrate by wearing 

green and saying happy St. Patrick's 

to those I meet. I don't  have any Irish

in me though I  do have family that 

does. I have two nephews with Irish

from their father.

Until next time, many blessings and

may your purpose  flourish as it should.

❤️❤️❤️

National Pastime

Though I  like American  football and

basketball , baseball is still  my favorite 

game. It was the first one I  started

playing in little  league.

Major Leagues season starts in a

couple weeks. Spring training has

probably  like ten or eleven games 

remaining.  

My local and favorite  team the Seattle 

Mariners have maybe one spot remaining 

for someone  to be the thirteenth position

player. The bullpen may have one spot as

well.  Both will come down to  the end of

training camp.

This year they are playing the World 

Baseball  Classic.  The Mariners have

several players  playing for their home

countries. It has been exciting baseball

for sure though some games have been

blowouts. The final rounds happen now

through the weekend  or so. Have to

win to keep playing. The teams that are

out their players return to their respective 

professional  teams. At least those who

are professional.  Look forward to see 

who wins it all. ❤️❤️❤️

Being Faithful

The one  thing we can be for 

family and friends is being 

faithful.

There are times where we will

need others so being there for

them is important.

We might not have anything

else but being faithful is so

crucial. ❤️❤️❤️

Hey There

I am not sure I  have  writers block

or not a lot to say. Most of the time 

something comes to my mind,  not

so much today. Maybe my mind needs 

rest. Not a bad idea for us all.

I hope your plan for a successful week

is working out so far. Make a list of all

your success. Peace and joy to you all.

❤️❤️❤️

A Successful Week

Being a Monday we should plan 

and pray for a successful week.

What we consider success should 

be up to us and God. Success

might be healthy all week long.

It could be how those we mentor

are having a good week.

The importance is for Monday

to be success and work through 

the week. Many blessings this

week.  

More Daylight

I went to bed Saturday  night  regular 

the knowing when I  woke up it would 

be an hour later. Still early though.

It would be interesting  to  know each 

ones time for bed whether they did

the same as I or went to bed earlier. 

I had to get my directions on changing

the time on my watch. Since it is a

new watch I wasn't  sure  whether I 

had to change the time or not which

turned out to be the case.

Though be darker in the morning  it 

will be nice to have more daylight

in the evening. Now I  figure be nice

to have more  light in my life to.

Have a great day though an hour

less for everyone  who had to change

their clocks. ❤️❤️❤️

Love and Peace

Friday night at a special worship service 

I realized or maybe revealed a long time

longing in my heart. Usually happens in

my secret  place.

Now I  have love and peace. Doesn’t mean

the longing won't come back at times I

just know what to do. Receive the love

and peace from God. He loves me for

who I am and that is settled in  my heart.

Yes God has given gifts and talents to 

use as our life purpose, however, we have

purpose  to love and worship God. We have

to make the decision  to  do so.

You have long time suffering of a longing

come to God for his love and peace.  ❤️❤️❤️

Politics Now

Wednesday  night  at a church home

group during our mealtime  a couple

guys talked about a guy named Tucker

Cooper who I  never heard of until that 

morning. 

They told me I  should be more involved 

in politics since we are losing more of

our freedoms. Not necessarily  here in

USA yet but in other countries it is 

happening.  

The truth is freedom of speech is still

in our constitution.  Of course, there

are certain  subjects we have to be

careful to talk about.

I know some things I  won't  mention 

since love is among the cornerstone 

of being a Christian.  Talking about

Christ I will always talk about. He 

commands us to do so and it is part

of my purpose  as well.  

I keep my ear to politics but I  am  not 

going to spend hours hearing about it.

For those who feel  they  should the

more power to them. It isn't part of my

purpose.  Please pray for those on the

front lines speaking truth. Amen!

Viewing Others

It is important  not to compare 

ourselves to others, however, 

viewing  what they are doing

is okay. 

I believe we can learn something 

from other people.  Not only to

know them better but we can

become better too.

When I  am  at the gym I watch

some in between  my exercises 

to see what I  may add to mine.

The grocery  store  I like to see

what people  are  buying. The

coffee  shop  what they are

getting for drinks. Also, strike

up conversations too.

Though we are unique we can 

always add to ourself for improvement. 

At the very least get some ideas. ❤️❤️❤️

Types of Spiritual Gifts

Let you know there are three types

of spiritual  gifts to build up each

Christian. There is ministry  gifts,

motivational and manifestation. 

We should all have several  gifts.

This is beyond the natural gifts

when we were created. Both the 

natural and spiritual  gifts are part

of our life purpose. 

The  natural gifts we use on a daily

basis while spiritual  ones when we

ministering  or gathering with other

Christians like at church. Some of 

our natural and spiritual gifts will

match together. Example if you 

are naturally  very smart  likely 

you will have wisdom as a spiritual 

gift. Like all the spiritual  gifts wisdom 

will be beyond your natural mind.

The ministry gifts are apostles, prophets,

evangelist,  pastors and teachers to

equip all christians to be in ministry.

Wisdom,  faith and healing are among 

the manifestation gifts. Motivational 

gifts are prophesy,  serving,  teaching,

encouraging, giving, leading and showing 

mercy.  You will have at least one of the

motivational gifts. 

Anyway I  hope  these give you more

of an idea where you are at. Remember 

none is greater than another. Whatever

gifts you have is what God intended and

use wisely.  Amen. ❤️❤️❤️

An Open Book

We will be effective people in

our life purpose if we are open

book to others. 

This  means we live as we ought

to and vulnerable  as well. None

of us are perfect either. We share

our faults as well  as  our gifts

and talents. We ask forgiveness 

when necessary too.

Sometimes  we put on a good front

when we are hurting.  We should

have someone  to  go to when we

are in that state. We should be

open to others when they need to

opened too. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Sing A New Song

It is so important we sing

a new song everyday. A

song that gives us gratitude

for what we have.

We don't have to sing with

a beautiful voice for God 

loves what we sing out of

our hearts.

The words don't need to be

long. They are how we feel

this day and moment. Amen!

Hello Monday Again

A start to another week.  I hope yours 

has gotten off strong. At least I am

feeling  better than last  onday.

Today being March 6, it's the third

anniversary  of  my mother's  passing. 

Certainly miss her however life goes

on.

She was a very  person. She lived to

be 99 years old. She had a full life.

No matter how long we live the importance 

is to the live the life Good has called us

to and our purpose.  Blessings everyone.

😊😊😊❤️❤️❤️

Marching On

The year is marching on isn't  it. 

Sorry for the pun. Lol

Weather wise here in Western 

Washington it is cold and wet. 

Just like February left us off.

I had a cold at the beginning  of 

February and now had a virus

to start March. I hope the end of

being sick for a while. A lot of 

people here have had the same

thing as me.

I had to stay home most of this

last week. I really wanted to be

out there to make a difference,

however, I  didn't want to make

others sick either. The plus it only

lasted five days. Saturday I was 

back at the YMCA and spent a

little  time at the coffee shop.

Wish you all a wonderful March. 

May you  be healthy and your

plans prosper. ❤️❤️❤️

I Remember

I have mentioned  I don't  remember dreams

very often. Recently  I  have  remembered  

dreams more frequently.  Like most dreams I 

have they are strange. I  am  not sure whether 

most people  are like me or not.

Last night I  dreamed about  a woman who

is a politician.  I figured she wasn't  trusted.

I found out though she was trustworthy just

not her colleagues locally.  

I  gave her a chance talking with her after

finding she was trustworthy.  I realized she

wasn't  very likeable.  I  found her to be very

attractive  so I  gave her more of a chance to

see things turnaround. Lol

This is where the dream ended. Be interesting 

to seeing I dream about her again. I  hope to

remember  more dreams on a regular basis. 

❤️❤️❤️

Where our treasure Is

In the sixth chapter of Matthew verse 11

says, "For  where your treasure is, there will

be your heart also. 

Also we are told we can store up treasures 

for heaven. So we have to know what

our treasures are. We can know how our

hearts feel.

As children most of us looked for treasure.

I remember taking a bucket and shovel to

look for treasure. 

Yes there is true treasures.  We live our lives 

this way. Our gifts and talents should be those

treasures. Let's search our hearts to know what

our treasures  are. Need be we change  them.

We want to have right ones to store up for heaven.

Amen!❤️❤️❤️

Compassion In Action

One of the spiritual  gifts is compassion. 

The  gift of compassion  is beyond what

we can do naturally.  It is used when

someone  really needs it. This could be 

someone you don't  know or not that well.

We usually  have  compassion  naturally 

which is still  a  great thing for our family

and friends. 

My Wednesday  night  church home group

sent over a care package after the meeting 

since I  could not attend  for being sick.

They showed compassion  with action.

I now have chicken  soup, herbal tea and

vitamin  C to build up my immune system. 

They took the compassion for me and 

put it into action. Something  I will Remer.

Amen! ❤️❤️❤️

Hi There

I decided to write  a  little  later today.

I am trying to get over the flu bug or

whatever  this is. I  have  been  home 

now for the third day in a row. I will 

probably  go out today to pick up

medication  to feel  better.

Though I  don't  want to  be sick but 

it is nice to relax at home and see

what comes to my mind.

Welcome to March. Let you know

this March  we should follow the

name and March. I  have a cousin

who got married  on March 4. It was 

funny because on the wedding invitation 

it said they were getting  married  on

that day since it is a commandment.

Say March 4 a few times and you will 

get it if you haven't  already.

My only niece Leslie  has a birthday 

coming up on March 3. It is nice she

is around since I have five  nephews 

between my brother  and  sister. The 

only problem since they don't live in 

the same area as I so I may only see

them once a year if I am lucky.

I do have two grand niece's and on 

February  17 I  now have a great

nephew. I  am  sure  my sister is

real happy since I  am  sure she

wasn't sure  she would ever be a

grandmother. We have a family 

zoom meeting  on Friday so my

great nephew  is supposed to 

make an appearance.  Also, next 

week on March 6 will be the third

anniversary  of  mom's  death. 

Wish you all a good and healthy day. 

May God bless you abundantly. Amen!

❤️❤️❤️
