Never Give Up

Right now I have a swollen leg

with a lack out circulation. I

went to doctor as well as praying

for myself.

It is important me never give up

no matter what is happening.

Someone wants to pray I am

with it too.

It is so good that is for me 

and you as well. God didn't

give us a purpose for it not

to happen or times of not 

using it. 

It doesn't matter what is going

on when it comes to giving up.

God cares no matter how small

or big the problem may be.  He

can help you out at the same 

time he does me. It doesn't

matter we are on the otherside

of the world or next door.

Nothing is Impossible

We must have the faith that

nothing is impossible with

God. Luke 1:37

We were created to do the

impossible. No always easy 

or sound possible for sure.

A couple years ago an older

than me anyway said the I

have great faith.  I was 

surprised he said that. He

might have been speaking 

about the future than today

or in the past. It is part of

my purpose and destiny.

If nothing else is to tell others

they have faith as well.

Jesus Christ said that are faith 

can be the size of a mustard seed.

We don't have to measure our faith

or compare it with others. The

importance is to believe we have

it. 

              The mustard seed

Go out do what you may think is 

impossible for you and do it. Even

those things that you are possible 

as well. You have a buck list don't

take long to accomplish them. 

May you do the possible and

impossible beginning today.

♥♥♥♥♥

Fall is Arriving

It is so  nice to get back to normal 

with summer coming to the end.

Fall begins here and the northern 

hemisphere while the southern 

heads into spring. 

Here in the Pacific Northwest  the

sun is still out however it isn't as

hot as it was. We get to have some

good weather  before temperatures 

get cooler and the rain comes.

A lot depends  on our attitude and

we cope with the weather and the

days get shorter as well. 

This is a good time to outdoor 

barbecues with neighbors  or new

people  who have moved into the 

area. Depending  on your children's 

age and where they are going to

school. I have a great niece who is

now four years old. Now she will

start having friends she is meeting 

in her preschool. They may become 

friends for a long time depending on

whether they stay or move. She is

going to school where her father

attended as a child. 

What a way for our purpose to continue 

and for the children to start to learn

their own.   ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Our Mentality

It is so important  to  keep  ourselves 
mentally strong.  This is true  when 

we are getting older and we begin to

forgetting  some things.

It is natural  we forget some things

as long we don't  come down with

illness. It is important for us to 

exercise  our minds like  our bodies.

We are in spiritual  war so Satan  not

only wants to take our beliefs away

he does with our minds.  Prayer, reading

and meditation are three ways to keep 

us strong mentally.  Also, interaction 

with others is important.Satan would 

love to keep  us isolated.

There are so many different  ways  to  

be isolated.  Unbelief and depression 

would be a couple of them. Covid-19 

was a way that we became isolated. 

I lost my mother March 2020 at the

beginning  of  it. I  was grieving for it

and I  like most became isolated. I 

was fine however being with people 

would  have  been better.  I did get

out by grocery  shopping and walking

though social  distancing. Though I 

couldn't talk a lot except saying hello 

it was better than staying home. I 

took some drives in my car too.

You start feeling  isolated  get out 

and see people. This even just saying 

hello or watching others. I  pray your 

mind stays sharp. We need to  enjoy

others purpose as well as our own.

❤️❤️❤️❤️

Being Positive

It is so important that we stay 

positive no matter what the

circumstances look like.

We sometimes want to feel

strong when life has given

us no reason to.  It is OK 

to know we have our weakness

as well.

This is when we look to God

to put us back together again.

Just like the story of Humpty

Dumpty.

When we are back together

again then we be positive.

With being positive brings

joy too.  ♥♥♥♥☺☺☺☺

The Purpose

Since you have life means you have

a purpose  whether you recognize 

it or not.

We were all created  uniquely. Non 

of us is the same. This may even be

if you have an identical twin.  Each

person has a  different  personality.  

You may have someone whose is

similar  to yours but doesn't mean

that it works out the same. Your

purpose  is  how you use your gifts,

talents and personality  with character. 

You not sure what your purpose  than

look at what you are doing now. It may

not be what you think it should be. If

so then change your life to fit it.

Your spouse, children,  family and

friends make up a lot of your purpose. 

Those who are not friends but you meet

them at times or you work with them 

make a part of your purpose too.

Over time our purpose  can change or

things will be added on as well as friends 

and family.  Take time out working out

life and the purpose which you have..

❤️❤️❤️❤️

Having Life

To have a purpose  we  need to begin 
with having a life. I  have  heard some 
interesting stories  about some people. 
Not everyone  has a good start to life. 
No one can choose their parents.  In
some cases the father isn't  around
and mother isn't in a good place.

Some of those with great lives we
have heard down through history 
didn't get off to a good start. They
were able to overcome obstacles.

Not everyone  has a success stories 
however, it is nice to hear about  the 
ones who do. As many who have 
begun under tough situations there
have been as many who have gotten 
them to. 

Some lost a parent or both. They end 

up in an orphanage or with a member 

of a parent family. Not all end up to

be happy.

It is so good to each other's stories 

where we get hope or faith.  Those

people  end up with a purpose beyond

what anyone would  really  expect.

Use your  experience to help your 

neighbor or friend. Be a good listener. 

Your  life may change forever too.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Fixing The Problem

Some like to fix other people's problems.  
Some of them like controlling  others 
while some truly  believe  they can help 
or have compassion. 

The trouble is some problems can't  be 
fixed even though they may think so. 
Those who are controlling want to be 
center of the attention  even when they 
can't really help.

At least those who have compassion 
can be there when the person  gets
to their lowest point or during the 
the whole process.

Whether  a problem can  be  fixed 
or not though the natural thing is

to help is to wait for them to ask.

If they  think there is no problem 

you may have to make them aware

of it. This comes to the person though.

Some times tough love is the right

course of action.  They need to the

realization they have a problem. 

In the  meantime  most of can do

is to pray for them and have the 

faith they will come out the other 

side.   ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Vacation and Retreat

In two weeks  I will  be going up

to British  Columbia  Canada to

visit my cousins for a few days. 

They are older than me. None

of us knows how much time we

have left or how healthy we will

be.

I visited  them two years ago the

last time. I  plan to do this every 

two years if I  can.

It is so important  we go on vacations 

and retreats. Also  mission trips to.

Seeing how the less fortunate  live 

is good besides helping them.

God puts in our hearts the places

we desire  to go. He will make a

way for us to get there too.

Another area of our purpose  is to

see other places for not only enjoyment 

but to help those we meet.  A vacation 

is good to get relaxation. A retreat is

to go with friends or those you mentor. 

Recharge  our batteries.  ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Taking a Step Each Day

We need to be sure that we are

walking on the right path with

truth. There are paths that look

right in our minds, however, they

are not.

Our purpose should include helping

others to stay on their right path

and help us as well. 

There are those who will try to

get us off the path of truth. They

may have words that could

persuade us. They may sound

good with a mix of truth in it.

We must stay away from those

people. 

Deception is a powerful weapon

in this spiritual warfare we are in.

Some may not believe we are in

a war, however, seeing the news

and being on social media shows

a different story.

Be careful who you spend your

time with. They say words that

sound very good please be careful.

Make sure comes from the right

spirit.  ♥♥♥♥

Thunder and Lightning

Last Saturday night we had thunder

and a bit of lightning. Our lights

flashed off and back on.

This shows how awesome God

is at all times. He wants to

demonstrate to us once in

a while.

We are all created in his image.

Though we are weak God is strong.

Our personality and character is

taken from God. We are not gods

like some people and religions

believe. Those who accept and

believe in God will have new bodies

in our next life. Though we won't

be a god we will be as we should 

have been before sin came into

the world.

In this life though are weak in areas

we are strong in some areas as well.

We rely on God in our weak areas.

Our strengths we rely on God as 

well. In both areas is how we show

and comfort others in our purpose.

The same way we should be comforted too.

Not always can others give us comfort

and strength but we can think and

have faith that God is doing so. In

our weakness we depend on his 

strength.  

We should look out on the earth

and the creation God has given

us being thankful for each moment

we are here.     ♥♥♥♥

Giving and Receiving Mercy

An important part of our life purpose

is giving mercy and forgiveness

to others. Accepting the same from

them.

God gives us mercy and forgiveness 

so we must do the same. Not saying

it is easy. There are times it is very

difficult. 

Mercy should be shown when others 

are going through  difficult times.

They may lash out on you in anger. 

They are not acting like they usually do. 

Forgiveness is what they may have done 

to us. We can help them to forgive others 

and  themselves too. Forgiveness does not

mean we accept what they have done

to us. It is us being a better person. 

Also,  it doesn't mean we forget instead

clears our conscience. 

May you have a blessed day and any

trouble will be forgotten.  ♥♥♥♥

Praising God

Another are of our purpose 

and the reason we were 

created was to  praise God.

Many of us do it on Sunday

only when going to church.

We are supposed to do so

every day. This is the same

as praying as well.

God wants relationship and

interaction with us. The reason

we learn to relate with others

so we can do so with him.

All of our purposes is to.know

him as we do our family and

friends. The reason we have

enemies is to know how to fight

and have God to back us up.

Everything we do is to come to

know him. God says we are tgr

apple of his eye. This all comes

to be who were created to be. 

♥♥♥♥

Being Discouraged

We all go through being discouraged.

The  same goes for disappointment

and depression.

The most important thing is not

to go through a self pity party. 

This.will happen on occasion too.

Any of these things should make 

us stronger though we likely won't

feel this way in the middle of it.

What we must do is keep watching

our eyes on others who go through

it. We don't want them become 

suicidal. We know there is no way

to come back from it if they are

successful. 

When we are going through tough

times under any situation we must

remember we have a purpose and 

we are unique.  Everyone needs to

know and be reminded time to time.

♥♥♥♥

Trust and Covenant

It is so important for us to

trust others. We do have to

be careful since people and

those who are enemies can

not be trusted.

What I mean people are not

are not naturally trustworthy.

We have to see how they are

with others and we have to

see with us too. Our enemies

will try to make us trusting

in them. They may seem to

be a good person however 

they are not. We have to look

into their motives too.

Those who do find trusting we

can make a covenant with them.

This is how it works in marriage.

God is one who can be trusted 

and he wants to make a covenant

with us that will last forever.

Not only in this life, however, 

for all time.  ♥♥♥♥

Seek After the Lord

To be in relationship with the

Lord God your shepherd you

must seek after him.

He actually seeks after you,

however, you must seek him

too.

You will find him when you do

seek. God will reveal himself

to you. God is in love with you

as he is with all his creation.

When you seek God you will

find your true purpose in life

to. ♥♥♥♥

Lord Is Our Shepherd

The Lord is our shepherd I am

getting from Psalm 23. It is 

among the top recognized 

Psalms.

Shepherds were quite common

in Israel in the time of King David

so the people would recognize what

he was saying. Before he became

the King he was a boy shepherd 

taking care of the sheep. The story

of David and Goliath took place then

when he was a shepherd.

God desires to be our shepherd, 

however, he gives us free will so 

will never force it on us. He wants

us to do the same for our family

and friends.  ♥♥♥♥

Our Plans

We all make plans whether for

the week, month or year. God

has plans for us as well. How

it all works out is our cooperation

with God.

There is more to it than cooperation.

Some of our plans God will put into

our hearts. He does give us free will

so he will go along with our plans too.

Circumstances can change our plans.

For instance going on vacation the

place we want to stay may already be

booked so have to decide whether to

stay at another place or go another 

time. 

When plans actually do happen they

may not turn out the way we think. 

It may be the decisions we make or

others make. Since we are not perfect

our plans may not go through perfectly

either. We should enjoy them the best

we can.

Make a list of your plans for September

through December. Remember you can add on new plans as well. At the end of December write down how the plans all worked out. You can make a list of the positive and negative. What you may

do different in the future. 

Enjoy your day and the plans you have.

If you are one that likes making long

plans you can get started on 2025 too.

♥♥♥♥

Dealing With Procrastination

I wonder how many deal with

procrastination. I certainly 

know I do some of the time.

It is so important that we do

what we should instead of

putting it off. We won't be

who we should be. 

We need to make the decision

to do what we ought to. Satan

would want us to put things off

so he is a fan of procrastination. 

Satan knows the potential we

have. Only God knows greater.

Each day we should put our

purpose in order. There is 

something we should do 

than let's do it.

♥♥♥♥

Being Delivered

We all have areas in our lived

where we need to be delivered.

This is something for our purpose

to help each other out.

Some of our issues have to do

with past generations. We must

look at not letting these go beyond

us.

Besides not us having to deal

with our issues it is important

to forgive our forefathers no

matter how many generations

back. We must forgive ourselves

to.

We have children and grandchildren

dealing with the same must help

them to and end the cycle.

We pray not forgiveness only but

to cast out the curses that brought

them about. It is important to be

part of a small group where you

can discuss each other's issues

and strongholds then bring 

deliverance.  Amen!

♥♥♥♥

Our Victories

We should always rejoice in our
victories. It should not matter  
how many we have.

Our purpose  shouldn't  hang
on our victories, however, it is 
still good to have them.

We should actually rejoice with
those who are part of the victory.
In fact, they are the ones why we
have the victory. 

The hardest part  of  our purpose 
is those who are not able to get
the victory  when we are mentoring 
them or are we just friends we spend 
time with.

May your day be joyful and encouraged.
May the light of God be on you.

❤️❤️❤️❤️

Time Will Tell

Many of us have areas of our

lives where we think why me.

At some point we will know

the answer whether in this

life or the next.

Faith often is the only way

we can go. This goes with 

who we may marry or those

who are closest friends.  Also

comes down to our job or 

calling which alines to our

purpose. 

The important thing is to keep

asking until we get the answer.

Those we lose in life is the

heart felt question until we

get to the other side. 

We must keep plugging along

like running the race until we

cross the finish line.  ♥♥♥♥

Being Rewarded

We will get a reward for what we do
in this life.  

The more we live in our life purpose 
the more reward we will get. We have
free choice to do so.

In our  job, we will receive a salary 
increase if we do what is expected 
of us or greater.  We don't  get what
we hope because  the company has
a freeze on salaries  or they don't 
recognize our accomplishments we
go somewhere  else  where we do
get a salary  increase and a promotion 
on top of that.
Being a father or mother we will  receive 
a reward for how our children act and
the love we give them. Another reward
would be the home we live in.

In other areas of our life the gifts and
talents we have received we will an
increase of them as well. 
Whatever rewards we receive will not
match what we receive in the next life.
This is by faith about receiving them.

Most of all we do our purpose for the
satisfaction of helping others and how
we feel at the same time.  ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Desires of Your Heart

I find a difficult  thing to deal with

in my life is the desires of the heart. 

The main reason  is some desires

I  have been  been waiting for most

of my life. It can be discouraging. 

What  I have to do now is have the

faith those desires are going to still

happen. What is discouraging  is  why

they are taking  so long and what may

I  be doing wrong. Still figuring that 

out.

At least I  know doing the purposes

of my life helps out a lot. Encourages 

me as well.  I  will even be more of

a happy person  in the long run.

There is a chance some of  those

desires  may never happen however 

I  will still be happy  with the best 

one.   ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Having A Good Attitude

When we are dealing  with other people 

it is good  to always have a good  attitude. 

We will  get along better and they will 

enjoy their time with us. It isn't  always 

easy when difficult situations  come up

however a good  attitude  always helps.

Going along with the good attitude is

a smile. Not only will be able to keep 

things going our health will be good 

as well.  

I know some people  don't  have a smile

or a good attitude  however the more we

do this may change their attitude. 

❤️❤️❤️❤️

Walking the Road

When we are walking the road

of life we sometimes run into

people that are not good as well

as good people.

We have to watch the warning

signs since bad people often 

act like good people. We have

to discern the bad people. They

often want something from

us but at at a price.

We have to show the bad people

we have good judgment. I am

learning often they will try to

continue to come on our good 

side. 

We treat the bad ones like we

do the good ones. It is interesting

to know how things work. In the

end we maybe able to change

their ways. At least we know that

we have done our best.

♥♥♥♥

Being Satisfied

We should be satisfied with 

our life purpose. It is the 

primary reseon we life. 

It doesn't mean we should be

satisfied with what we are 

doing with our purpose.

We should want to get better

at what we are doing with our

purpose. A good example if

you are a mother you want 

to excel at being the best

mother as possible.

It is like being a singer. You

may have a beautiful voice

however you want to make

your voice better. You may

have areas is singing that

you want to improve even

if your voice is beautiful.

This is our purpose along

with our gifts and talents

should work. It isn't just

for our purpose but for 

others to. In the same way

I want to be better writer

and encourager each day.

A lot of this improvement

is by doing it each single

day. Also is to listen to

what I hear as well. To

become a better writer

and encourager is to 

listen. 

The listening is not only

what I hear in mind mostly

from God but what I hear 

from others. Also when

I speak what reaction I

receive from others. I 

am trying to keep my

talking to shorter sentences

as I do with my writing.

I am trying to listen and

hear more from those 

who I talk to. Find out

what they are about and

doing. It is hard to do 

since I am accustomed 

naturally to talk about

myself. It goes back to

when I was a young child.

When I do talk now I try

to talk about a subject

briefly then change to 

another. If I find that I

am talking too much

about myself to change

over and let the other

person talk about them-

selves.

On Saturday I was a pool

party for three hours where

I live. I actually saw two 

couples that I knew from

church so spent a good 

part of the time with them.

I did let them talk some

however I realized I was

talking about myself or

other things I shifted back

to them. 

Anyway I hope  these are

tips that everyone can

use.  Have a blessed day.

♥♥♥♥

Never Be Shaken

It is do important that we never

be shaken. Not an easy task for

sure.

It does take some help at times

from our friends, family and God

not to be shaken. We have to have

faith at times as well.

Important we encourage ourselves.

We should start the day by encouraging

ourselves. Begin with prayer and

meditation. Here from God and to

remember we are special and unique.

♥♥♥♥

Good News

It is always  great when  we hear

good news. We live in a world  

where bad news seems  to happen 

more than  good. 

I  am  sure  we hear good news 

frequently it just seems bad news

comes in the forefront. 

We should be grateful  for waking

up in the morning and we are still

here. This is true when we have

good health and so does our family 

and friends. It is tough when our

health and other are not as good. 

On the personal  note this week I 

had an EKG. On Friday  I  heard

my heart is still pumping strong.

My blood pressure  has been good

and steady for a while  too. I  still 

have to work on my diet. Eat more

foods with Omega 3 in them. Things

like fish, berries and walnuts. 

It still comes down to our  life  where

we wake up in the morning. It is

important  to work on being healthy 

each day. Not an easy task.

❤️❤️❤️❤️

Our Weaknesses

We all have weaknesses  as well

as strengths.  We should work

on our weaknesses  the best we 

can and utilize our strengths. 

Usually  at a young age we are

critized for our weaknesses.

In many cases how worthless 

we are instead of how good

we are. 

Even in our adulthood we may

continue to think we are worthless 

instead of  how wonderful  and

unique we are. No one should

have words spoken against them. 

They would be curses. 

We must forgive ourselves for

accepting these curses as well

as forgive those who put them

on us. We will live a much better

life and have peace. 

❤️❤️❤️❤️

Who Do We Seek

When circumstances  are  not going 

well who do we seek?

A good friend is a good place to

start.  They may have the gifts

and encouragement we need.

Besides friends to seek after 

God is the ultimate  one to

go to.  Sometimes we go to

God when we are at the lowest

point in life. We may have  not

gotten there if we reached him

earlier. 

Often we blame God and we

are angry when we could  have

made better choices. God is

not going to intervene unless

we ask him. He isn't  a ruler

that is a task master. Also he

isn't  going to tell us see what

you did. We are accustomed 

to people saying those things.

Seek first God. He may bring

others to help out however he

is the ultimate  helper. Amen!

❤️❤️❤️❤️
