Our Natural Person

We are familiar  with  our natural 

person with gifts and talents.

They are made up of our character,

personality and those things we are

good at.

Our weaknesses  with work  can 

become a gift or a talent.  Of

course it depends what it is.

For an example, I  wasn't  a good

reader until I  was 14. I was tutored

for three weeks where I  was on a 

level of a 17. It is possible I had the

talent all a long however because 

of where I  was at five years old.

I didn't  start talking until I  was  five

years old because  I  couldn't hear.

In part my ears had wax in them. 

There was more than that however 

I  don't  know what the remaining 

issue  was. 

I am not sure how  long  it  took me

to become good  at talking but I am 

sure not long. I  find  it  interesting 

I became a good writer before a

good reader. I am  not  the reason

for it. Maybe God  wanted me able 

write well before reading.

We all have some challenges in life

however our natural  gifts and talents 

do come out. They are not only for

our enjoyment  but for others too.

You figure people  enjoy watching

sports, theater, movies and music 

concerts. All those involved have

great talent to do so. More than 

most people.  It doesn't  mean  we

don't  have  talent  in  any of those 

areas they are at the top for sure.

Next time look at spiritual  gifts 

which are as important as the

natural ones if not more. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Two Types Of Purpose

There is two  parts of us so their is 

two purposes as well.  We are natural 

and spiritual so our purpose is made

up of both.

The thing is many people don't deal

with their spiritual side often if at all.

We have gifts both naturally and

spiritual.  Sometimes they  match as 

well.

Say you are naturally  a good speaker

naturally  than you likely have the gift

to speak into others lives spiritually 

as well.  Even if you are not good 

speaker naturally  you may spiritually 

have the gift. This is one example  of  

natural and spiritual gifts. 

There are natural  gifts  that can tie

in spiritual guts too. For instance if

you are a good cook then you should 

have the spiritual gift of hospitality. 

I am sure you have people  in your

homes a lot.

Take the time to look at your natural 

gifts and talents you may see how

they work  with  you  spiritually too. 

❤️❤️❤️❤️

Knowing Our Purpose

Did you  know  people  will find out their 

life purpose at different ages. I didn't know 

I  had a purpose  for my life until a few 

years ago.

Even before I  knew I  had  a  purpose I

was doing my purpose or at the least I 

was being trained.

Did you know your job is not only part

of your purpose  it is training for a greater

purpose.  Whether you are a lawyer, or a

doctor or a fireman which are all great 

professions there is  more to your purpose. 

People  are  more than those professions 

so whatever  you  are doing or have done

you are stretching the surface of your purpose. 

You can look back at other posts I have done

and others that will be coming.  I  am going to

be looking at the different areas of our purpose. 

I  am  sure  they may have been  mentioned before.

I  recommend you want to know  more you can

do searches on all these areas.  ❤️❤️❤️❤️

A New Week

A new week with new month coming

up it is important  to have a fresh

attitude.

Many of us will  be  busy  with the

holidays.  People will be shopping 

with some having joy however there 

can be those whose anger will come

forth because  of the crowds.

It is so important  we are not one of

those where anger spills over. We 

must continue the joy and encouragement 

to those around us.

I wish you the best as we head into 

December  and the end of the year.

May you have learned from the trials

of 2024. Merry Christmas and happy 

holidays. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Being Stubborn

It came to my mind while being awake

about being stubborn.  It can be a tough

thing if you get angry  while being stubborn. 

If stubborn says to you that your being

stubborn  or you are a stubborn person. 

It could depend on the situation or what 

the belief is in.

Say someone  you don't  know very while

and you are chatting  online with them.

They are trying  to  get  something from

you and they say your stubborn or you

don't  trust them. It is hard to trust someone 

you have never met. In fact a lot of scams

happen  because  they try and succeed in

you trusting  them.

My answer to anyone  I may chat online I

will say when they try something on me

I am  being cautious or I am  not  interested. 

At that point  they may push harder or decide

you are not worth it. It has something to do

with dating or having a relationship they may

say don't you love me. I would say falling in

love immediately  happens rarely and a good

idea to stop right there.

The most important  thing is if you are being

stubborn do not be stressed about it. Not

good for your health. I hope this helps you

as you are going on your life  journey.  ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Life and Religion

Most of us have experienced religion 

and belong to a religious  organization. 

God loves  his church however sometimes 

people  don't  feel right being there. They

may feel  judged by others. Our purpose  

should  be where people  feel  loved and 

mercy.

Sometimes  people  need help which includes

tough love however  it should only after 

knowing  and trust after a while. 

Tough love is in the process of help. It is 

important  to  know who can handle tough

love. Some may be fragile  where tough

love can hurt more than help.

In the end God wants relationship with

people  as well as with one another. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Being Straight With Others

It is so important  no matter  who the person 

is and what kind of relationship  we have must

be honest  and  straightforward with them.

Those who  we mentor or asking  for help

especially  need to know our opinion  and

honesty.  If  they are going through  a rough

patch they really  need  to  know what we

think.

If we are in the position of help we should

listen  ourselves.  We have to be honest 

whether we are getting  better or not. 

We all go through  tough times  even if 

they are not as bad as those around us.

Having one friend to spend time with 

will make both of us stronger.  Amen!

❤️❤️❤️❤️

Overcoming Obstacles

Since we are not perfect we all have

obstacles  getting  in  the way to do

our purpose  as we like.

Maybe our past rises up on occasion. 

We might be looking  at  today thinking

I  have  enough issues myself  than 

helping others.  

Since I am  into lists write down the

obstacles  you feel  right now. You 

can add onto the list when they come

to your mind.

Our purpose  is to help others with the

gifts and talents God has given us. Others

we know or run into have their gifts and 

talents to help us.

A good  idea is to have someone or more

to spend time with. You can  help each 

other out.

May you have a blessed day and let the 

obstacles  go by the side. Amen! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

More Thankful

We live in a world now where there

is over 8 billion  people. I have no

idea how many are starving and 

don't  have  much but there a lot.

I have seen children in Africa in

photos where they don't know

where their next meal will come

from.

At the same time they look very

happy. I  am  not sure  whether  it

is the fact they are children  or

they are thankful  for what they 

have.

For some life is getting  better with

people  around  the world  giving

them a helping hand. Bringing in

food and helping with the water 

supply to bring in clean water.

Now we have to  find other areas

who are not fortunate as well. 

Even the areas of the world where

food in good supply there are people 

still starving.  

Having three good meals  a day does 

not guarantee  happiness. Wealth doesn’t 

guarantee  happiness either. Being thankful 

and helping  others may make everyone 

more happy.  

We live in a world  where  most everyone 

is busy. We must take our time to be with

others even in our busy times. Be thankful,

gratitude and loving. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Being Thankful For Small Things

On Thursday  here in the United States we

will be celebrating  Thanksgiving. It is a 

holiday  that happens  each year where

family and  friends get together  to be

thankful  for  all their blessings. 

It is easy to be thankful for the obvious 

things like family, friends and the home

we have. It is the little things we may 

forget at times to be thankful for.

So today be thankful for the small things.

Let God know we appreciate  them as

well. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Supporting One Another

When we are living this life it is so

important  to have people supporting 

one another.

Were  not here to live alone. At times

it is good  to  get away however spending 

too much alone time is not good. It 

might be the reason  so many people  deal

with mental  health problems.

This is why we need positive  support. 

Those who  will encourage us no matter 

what is going on in our lives. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Gorgeous Weekend

Hello  I  hope you are having a gorgeous 

weekend.  The last few days  it was sunny

though a little  cold too. Rain came back

Saturday  night. 

I know  there are places where it is already 

Monday so I  hope the weekend was good

and the week  starts out well. 

Saturday  morning  after the gym and driving

down the waterfront there where medium 

size boats that were racing. Actually  they

were crawling since there was no wind. 

Going out of the mouth of the harbor often 

there is no wind. 

Outside the harbor  there was no wind either.

I figured it was going to be a long race. I  hope

the wind did pickup so it would be a good 

race eventually.

It brought back memories when I  went racing

or just sailing with my dad. I  remember it was

not much fun as a teenager. Dad loved it so

he could find a way to win the race. I  suppose 

it was like a chess match. Dad always checked

to see the tides each day so when he went out

racing  he could take advantage over the other

racers. It must have worked  since he often won

though not all the time. 

Dad started sailing  around the age of sixteen. I know

he and his brother  built  their first boat at sixteen.

The only  thing  Dad loved more than sailing was his

family. I  was able to benefit  for that.

I will  pray that things go well  for  you  today. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Longer Holidays

It seems  each year the commercial start

of holidays begin earlier  each ttime. I

saw candy, party plates and costumes 

available at the beginning of  September. 

I  am sorry but October 1 is soon enough.

I have seen Christmas  trees up already.

Maybe this week  but last couple weeks 

seem to early.  Maybe the season isn't 

that long however commercial start of

it seems to soon. I  enjoy the spirit  of

Christmas  and  songs like Silent Night

you sing at church is great but the 

secular songs like We Wish You a Merry 

Christmas and many others I am fine

with the first or second week of December. 

It doesn't  sound we can stop it unless 

people  don't  buy early.  If you have

relatives and friends  who don't live

nearby I understand  buying for them.

Anyway  enjoy the spirit of  the holiday.

❤️❤️❤️❤️

High Value

We all high value whether we believe it  

or not.

Good parents  worry about their children 

if they are missing or gone for a moment.

I see people  have higher value  for their

pets than other people.  We get angry 

sometimes over the smallest thing even

it seems like a tall building.

On Wednesday  night at my church home

group we were discussing in Matthew 5

where Jesus  Christ  said  the  law says

an eye for an eye and I  say when someone 

hits you on one side turn the other side

as well. God has high standards because

he has high value  for  us.

I mentioned  wouldn't  it  be nice if we 

treated everyone  like the cute three 

year old children we see.

First of all we should treat ourselves 

as high value and others as well. Even

those we normally  would not. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Prayer

My thought this morning  is  prayer. 

God desires for us to prayer for

those who brings into our lives.

First of all for  our spouse and 

children  along with other family 

members. Also friends and those

we just met. 

Another group  would be someone

who may have honked their horn

while we driving whether justified 

or not. Other driving infractions 

as well.  We have no idea what

others are going through. God said

to pray for our enemies too. At that

moment that is who there are.

Pray for anyone  who comes to

your mind and pray for yourself 

to. Amen! 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️

Growing Together

The greatest  reward  is  when couples

grow together. Loving and raising a

family. The second  most important 

purpose in life next with relationship 

with God.

The saddest thing is many couples 

grow apart  from each other. The

love leaves primarily because of

selfishness  on one of the parties 

or both. Families are torn apart 

with  some never coming together 

again. Fortunately  some heal over

a period of time.

Let your love for each depart. Let it 

grow continually no matter  what 

differences come. Find new interests 

if the old ones are no longer working. 

❤️❤️❤️❤️

Looking For Someone

It is in our nature  to search for someone 

or something.  In the beginning  we have

our parents  plus our siblings if we have  

them.

We get a little  older we have cousins 

and friends who we end up finding.

Later on we seek  after our partner. 

Whether it is  friends or partner we 

sometimes find  the wrong ones.

In reality  we  are  searching  for  God.

The one who created  us and gave us

our purpose.  The trouble  is  we don't 

realize it for awhile.

We look for truth and wisdom as well. 

There will be those who will direct us

on the wrong path disguised as truth

and wisdom. Often it is disguised as

religion. 

When you find a true man or woman 

of God during your search  listen to 

them and they will lead you to Jesus 

Christ who is the truth and the life. 

Your search will be over for you will

find the one you were looking for.

❤️❤️❤️❤️

Togetherness

The most important  purpose for a 

couple is being together. 

It doesn't matter  whatever else is

going on you are a couple. 

The word should be we not you.

What brought  you together  in the

first place. Come back to the 

beginning  if necessary. 

Today make us a priority.  Have

no other thoughts but about us.

Go to God to put yourselves back

together. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Change The World

We are living in a world that needs 

to change.

Every day we hear news quickly by 

news or social media.

Most of the news isn't good. Things 

haven't changed we just know it sooner.

The world is smaller now then it used

to be. We can change the world we live

in. One voice or step at a time.

We were born for this time. Our purpose

is to effect the world and community

we live.

Our voice should be of encouragement,

love and faith. ❤❤❤❤

Here We Are Again

Yes another weekend  for us to enjoy.

Here in United States  Saturday is 

Veterans Day.  We honor those who

have served in the military. 

This means a lot of people are having

a three day weekend.  I  certainly  saw

people out and about on Friday.  

For some the weekend  will be to relax

for the most part. Maybe read a good

book or do a board game or play cards.

On an extra long weekend  go to their

family cabin or favorite  place. 

For others they may go exercise  or for

a long walk or hike. There will be those

who go to a concert, movie or sporting 

event.

The important  thing  is  to  make the best

of the weekend.  Quality  time with others

or youself. The weekend  is for energizing 

ourselves  for the week  ahead.

Whatever you are doing be blessed. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

There Is More

We do more in life than our purpose or I think.

Our purpose  should be our way of life for the 

most part.

Everything that we are good at is part of our

purpose. There are things like enjoying  the 

outdoors  or cooking  or sports that are part 

of our purpose  to. This is  true when they

are talents  we are good at.

Some things could be enjoyable however 

there are other  things we should spend

doing. We have to decide how it works 

out. 

It isn't  like we can't  spend some time on

occasion  doing so. There are things we 

can do to relax. The important  to  decide 

when we do so. 

I believe  social media  can be a distraction 

to us. It is not like we can't  spend time since

there are people  we know that we can see how

they are doing. This is about friends and family 

we don't   see as often as we like.

We can get news and learn about things on

social media  however learn how much time

should be spent doing so. If  you  are  spending 

a lot of time it is a good  idea to cut back. In

fact take a day or two away from it to realize

whether important.  For one I  stopped what

people  are  talking about politics.  Often they

continue  repeating all the time and if you think

that you can change others minds on politics 

it is not likely  going to  happen.  

I enjoy that you enjoy coming to my site here

however I  understand  other things are as 

important.  I enjoy encouraging  you even

when they are to challenge you. They challenge 

me as well. What I write  applies  to  myself too.

As the week is coming to a close may you be blessed.

Oh yes don't  be stressed either. This is sometimes 

hard to get over with too.❤️❤️❤️❤️

What Makes Us Happy

We all believe  what will makes us happy. 

Most of us being married,  having children,

a dream job, and a nice house to name a few.

It doesn't  always turn out for us being 

happy.  In fact we might have to  try more

than once in the  list of being happy.

Our life purpose which we were created for 

will make us happy.  They may include being

married, children, job and house. There will

be even more in our purpose.  We just find

our way. ❤️❤️❤️

Midweek Check

For those who have made a list of

things to do with your life purpose 

Wednesday  is a good chance to see 

how you are doing.  Of course it is

still early  to make changes as well. 

Those who haven't  made a list you

can start at anytime.  Now  that we

are near 2024 we can set goals for 

the new year.

The list can be how many new people  

you meet  each day or week.  You can

list what your goal is and how many 

actually  you met. Out of these new 

people how many become good friends.  

You can make a list to have a goal of

seeing old friends as well.  The ones

you lost contact with. They may have

been coworkers who moved on or you

moved on. Maybe they moved location 

of the same company or whatever.

Those who like to  write  a  journal can

write a story  behind meeting  some of

these people.  The importance is to be

effective  in  our life purpose.  ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Where Should Our Eyes Be

Where should our eyes be.

1. Jesus  Christ  our savior

2. Our family 

3. Our friends.

4. Everyone  else who we come across in our purpose 

Yes our eyes be on those four areas.

We will follow  our purpose we created for.

You will be happy  doing  so.

Don't  let other things get in the way. 

❤️❤️❤️❤️

Riding the Course

Life sometimes  does crazy things.  

You met someone who you think

will change your life and it isn't 

the way you expect. 

It is easy  for  your heart to be 

broken and you are thinking you

are going through  this again.

I figure  it is important to ride the

course. It might not be as bad as

you think and you don't  want  to lose

the one is the love of your life.

Circumstances  might not be like you

think just because  you haven't  seen

them in several  days and you don't  

know how to get hold of them.

I pray for  the person  that  they have

the same feelings and will see them

again soon. Don't have a broken heart. 

❤️❤️❤️❤️

Having Freedom

Here in the United  States  we have  freedom 

though live isn't  all what is cracked up to

be. Our lives are far from perfect  however

we do have our freedom to choose. 

We have freedom  to  speak  our own minds

and decide whether to follow God or otherwise. 

In question  whether  that will last though.

At least we are blessed  to  have  a choice unlike

many nations whether government or religion.

Though we are from from perfect I wish everyone 

had freedom  of  choice  even if they make the

wrong choices.  ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Inside Activities

Here in Western Washington we are  going 

to have rain for a week or longer. November 

is raining season so good time to spend 

inside and doing indoor activities during

free time. 

Spend time with family and friends playing 

some bard games. Great way to work on

your social  skills and have fun too. This

is where rain or snow happens for that matter.

We are expected  to  be social in our lives

especially  with our purpose.  I know not

everyone  is as good at as they  should be.

I am  sure  you have heard we can't  be an

island to ourselves.  It doesn't  mean  you

shouldn't  have  free time for yourself either.

The importance is to have a balance between 

being with others and being bt yourself. 

Now this is coming into the holiday season 

enjoy each person  you  see. Encourage others

and be encouraged yourself.   ❤️❤️❤️❤️

There Is Healing

For those who believe and follow 

Jesus  Christ  there is healing

besides forgiveness  of sins.

One of the spiritual  gifts is healing.

Every believer can pray for others

for healing however there are those

who are given the gift of healing.

I believe  those who become a

follower of Christ  are not only 

forgiven and given a spiritual 

life they are healed as well.

I believe to when those who realize

that God has created  them for a

life purpose they are healed too.

I belive as well we can be healed

each day. Not only spiritual healing 

but physical healing too. May you

be healed  today in whatever fashion 

you need. Amen! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

The Good and More

The thing about us besides  being unique 

and each having a purpose  there is goodness 

and ugliness  to. 

We must accept  the  goodness and the

ugliness  in ourselves and others.  For those

who are closest  to  us  we love them no

matter what.  

We must repent for the sin and ugliness asking

God to  change us. We can't  do it on our own 

no matter  how hard we try. The reason  Jesus 

Christ came and died on  the cross was for our

sins. He will change us and make us more 

beautiful and less ugly.  

God already knows our sins and weaknesses we

might as well  accept that  and forgive others

for their sins, ugliness and weaknesses.  Look

at the good in each other and not everything 

else.  Amen! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Tis The Season

Whether  officially or not November 

is the  holiday season. 

Like most years I  say for us not only 

enjoy the season but to use your purpose. 

We all have gifts and they are free to

give away. 

There are those who  are  lonely that 

can use every  gift we have. Like the

saying God created  each of us in a 

special way to help others just as they

do us. Spread the joy too. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
