We All Have A Routine

Though every day  does seem different  

we all have a routine.

We may do our shopping on the same 

day of the week or month depending 

on how often we like to go. I  can see 

those who shop by how much they buy. 

I ran into a woman from church at the

grocery  store  last week. She said I

see you more  often  then anyone

else I  know. It means we shop the

same day and the same time.

I go to gym about the same time

because of the schedules of my

classes. I am thinking of changing

classes which will change the

schedule too.

I believe it is important to be in a

routine however changing things

at times is a good idea too.

On occasion  I  will go out  for

a drive to somewhere different. 

My car fortunately gets pretty 

good mileage. 

May you enjoy your day whether 

by routine or not.  ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Not All Days Will Be Good

We know that life isn't perfect

each and every single day.

What we do to answer those

awful days we have.

Being a Christian I know to

call on God. It doesn't mean

days that  are not perfect 

will end however knowing 

who to call on is the answer.

Having a friend that you can

call on is good too. Together

with God we can receive peace.

Our purpose does include to

help others in their hour of

need in whatever it is.

♥♥♥♥♥

Accepting Ourselves

Maybe the greatest gift we have is 

accepting  ourselves.

It doesn't  matter  how many flaws 

we have we must realize our strengths 

at the same time.

Being a mentor to others this is a

good tool to help others.

Our life purpose  is to use our

strengths  in our gifts and talents. 

It comes down to faith in ourselves.

❤️❤️❤️❤️

More Than About Us

The important  thing is for us to spend 

time with others in small groups. 

The reason  we are married or have 

a close friend it is important  to 

spend time with at least one other

person  on a regular basis. 

These people will allow us to grow

and we can help them grow too.

Isn't  this a great way to live life

and have a wonderful purpose  

too. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Doing Our Best

Since we are in a crazy world right now 

we must do our very best to help others.

The encouragement  is to learn from

our mistakes and move on.

Our purpose  will never end though 

changes may happen. 

❤️❤️❤️❤️

Being Fruitful

For us to live out our purpose is to be fruitful. 

It doesn't  mean  that we receive salvation 

from it however we will be blessed in the

process. 

Many people  believe fruitfulness brings the

salvation.  It is actually  the  other way. We

receive  salvation  first and the fruit comes

because of it. 

We can't  have fruit first. We grow in it 

through the salvation  we have.

Our human  bodies and our minds think

the opposite  from what the Kingdome 

of God is like. Why it is said that the last

will become first. Why we have to serve 

others and not be served. 

There is even more said in the Bible.

Those who become fruitful will 

inherit a lot. It isn't  Why we receive 

salvation it is the by product.

God loves us first however we receive 

the love by accepting  so.

❤️❤️❤️❤️

We Must Keep Going

There are people  who don't  want us to do our life purpose  or other things for that.matter.

We can't  do much about them however we must continue  to  do what is right

in our lives.

Those who know us the best is our

witness to who we are. We continue 

on the right path and we will be blessed.

We must learn to be more wise in the

process. Those people we must stay

away from them. This is what we must

learn. This is the world  we live in.

❤️❤️❤️❤️

Having Joy All the Time

In the book of Nehemiah  chapter 8

verse 10 it says the Joy of the Lord

is my strength. 

In this age we need the Joy that

will give us strength.

There is a battle going on in our 

minds and situations. This is so

important  for us and others. 

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Hello Monday

I know Mondays  are not often popular  

with the weekend  over.

We must embrace  them since we have 

52 of them every year.

Like every  day we must wakeup in 

the morning  and look forward to

what the day will bring.

Let the light shine instead of the

dark. Have joy throughout the day.

What is to have sadness instead.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Never Forget To Do Our Purpose

Generally  our life purpose  is part of us.

We can sometimes  get distracted that

some parts of our purpose  gets left

behind.

Today is to know what part of my purpose 

I haven't  done lately  and do it.

In 2 Timothy 4 Paul instructs Timothy 

to be ready in season and out of season.

Some of our gifts maybe not done as

often as others however we should be

ready at all times.

Even areas that we are not strong or not

really part of our purpose we need to

be ready as well.  For example we see

someone  get hurt we need to spring

into action. Even if we can't  administer

the help they need we have to find

someone who well.  We can't  think

we will leave it for someone else.

Have a great day and let your purpose 

shine on. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Another Weekend

I am sure we agree that each week seems  to go by so fast. Even the weekend  goes by fast.

The key is to get out as much as we caneach day. Circumstances sometimes  happens where things

get in the way. We must not  let them have more over us.

Stress is what gets in my way at times.

Stress can cost us time and not good

for our health too. Going to the  gym 

or just take a good breath are two 

ways to help me.

The things that make us stressed have

already happen  so we must have a way not to be more trouble. This is why the weekends can help.

God can help us to by giving stress

over to him. Ask God to take care 

of those times of stress. 

May this day be good and be full.

❤️❤️❤️❤️

Having Hope

Having hope will allow us in our life purpose 

to share with others.

Jesus Christ  is  the ultimate  home. In

some countries  it illegal and forbidden 

to speak about Jesus  Christ  and  be

a Christian.  In fact you can lose your

life. Those who do give the hope in

their country  like that can lose their 

life and are willing  to. 

The question  is  what is your hope in.

Also what is your life purpose.  Hopefully 

your hope and purpose work together. 

There are three  primary  areas of purpose. 

Family, career and God. Let others know

if you enjoy coming here and viewing. 

Let the hope and love be a major player

in your  family, career and relationship 

with God. Spread it to others.

A Difference In Look At Purpose

I have mentioned before I post

about purpose from Christian 

perspective while there are others.

I did a search on some top blogs

on purpose. I found one who writes

to those in their 20s about their

job or career expectations. That

makes a lot of sense. I saw a few 

others about purpose of writing.

I didn't get into that too much

yet.

We could lost comments about

what we saw or about our blogs.

So I went into some detail about

this blog.

I will write something about those 

in their 20s as well as those older.

How they Loo's at their purpose 

has a lot to do with age and 

experience.

I believe what they were concerned

and I agree many don't ever think

about their purpose. In fact I didn't

think about it either for many years.

In fact I was told about 30 years ago

what I maybe doing in the future

for God however I never thought

about it being my purpose. People

need to here more and be educated.

Our purpose is really important.

Think about how many people die

and never thought about their

purpose. 

If you have any comments feel 

free to say so.  ♥♥♥♥

The Hoh River

The Hoh River is one of the great spots

to visit in Washington  State. 

The good news the governor  of

Washington  made a way to have

the Hoh River  National  Forest

re open.

I hope to visit myself real soon.

For a direction  it is on the 

Washington coast.

How do you get there. From Seattle 

you head south toward the state

capital Olympia on Interstate 5. 

When you are entering  Olympia 

look for the exit for Washington 

Beaches  or Aberdeen. 

When you enter Aberdeen  look for 

highway  101 north. While heading 

North you will come to Ocean Shores

and Pacific Beach to name a couple

spots. 

You will see signs for Forks. You keep 

on looking for the Hoh River. If you

get to Forks you have gone too far.

The Hoh River is about 30 minutes

before Forks.

Enjoy Washington.  ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thòse In Their Thirties

Those in their  thirties  do have a strong life 

purpose whether they believe or even think

about it.

Those who are married have a family or

in the process of doing so. Your family 

is your main purpose  in your life at this

stage. Your job  and career is second to 

family. Seeking God will allow to have

a successful  career  and marriage. 

Those who are single and desire to be

married do not give up. Keep  praying  

for the one you will have as a partner.

Whatever  your job is be sure to save

and invest your money. I  recommend

to speak to someone  who  has experience 

in investing. You have friends  that are

married  learn what you can from them.

This would be even by observing.  

Figure your purpose  at this time of

your life. In the future your purpose 

will change. Ask God what is your

purpose  he has for you. Talk to a

friend and ask them what they feel

is your purpose.  

Enjoy your thirties  whether your

married or single. Spend time

with those younger and older

than you besides your family.

❤️❤️❤️❤️

Being Generous

We can all be generous to others.

Sometimes people think generous

means giving money away or

possessions. 

In this age there are those who

try to scam others who are 

generous types. Don't fall for it

unless you give away what you

can afford. 

Some scammers will suggest a 

small amount since any is better

than nothing. Don't fall for it 

either. There are people who

can use the money instead and

give to them. This may apply to

those you may not know however

you see them it is at least better.

Be generous doesn't just mean

giving money or possessions.

It can be giving your time as

well. 

♥♥♥♥♥

May You Have A Good Week

I decided to add an additional  post on this day.

May you have a good week.  A week that will

be different  than  any before.

May you meet someone  that will change

your life and one that you change their

life.

A week  like this is possible. We just have

to be open too it.

It doesn't  mean  we have to look for it

and it actually  falls into our laps. This

is a good way since we try ourself it

doesn't  happen or we mess it up.

Great and let this happen.

❤️❤️❤️❤️

Always Good To Read

It is important that we take at least

a little  time to read. We can learn

so much from others.

Most of my reading  is  from the

Bible. We can learn as well as

being encouraged.  Others readings

is good to when it encourages  

us or in some cases entertains us.

I know some have a hard time to 

read so I  recommend to listen to 

audio books and podcasts instead. 

I often listen to audio on the Bible.  

The opportunity doesn't  work for 

you have someone read to you or 

read at a slow pace.

There so many ways we can do our

life purpose  and get from others 

purpose.  On Thursday  while in 

coffee shop a new friend I found

she has the talent in painting. I 

was able to see what she does

in it.

May you have joy in your life

today and share with others.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Moving On In Our Purpose

We all get to the point in life

when getting older what is

our purpose now?

This true when  becoming

retired from the job you had

for many years and the children

are gone. Also harder when 

your spouse is no longer 

around.

The question in our minds is 

what's next and do I have 

anything to offer?

We all have something to 

offer the world and people 

in general. Besides my writing

I use my humor and smile to 

help as many as I can.  It 

isn't everything I do. It is a 

good place go start.

♥♥♥♥♥

Learning From Our Mistakes

It is important  we learn from our mistakes. 

Sometimes  it takes several tries to figure

that out.

The older we get we find out that there 

are somethings we can't  do or being 

careful is more important. 

I fell from a chair and hit my head. My

body aches is in several  spots. I

figure next time to use a latter instead.

I hope that will work. 

We do make mistakes however most

are not like falling off a chair. In those

cases it is important to learn from them

too.

We must be wise not to make mistakes.

The first time maybe ok depending on

the situation  however still important 

to learn.

May you have a blessed day and may

your mistakes  be a minimum. 

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

The River

Most every  country has a great river

and is shown as being romantic at

same time.

In the Bible the rivers out of the garden

of Eden is mentioned in Genesis 2.

This was when began and there was 

no sin. River is mentioned as life and

healing.

In Ezekiel  47 the prophet  speaks

about vision of giving life and healing 

to the dead sea. Each time going in 

he went deeper in. It represented

the presence of God. We given more

life by being  close and letting  the

work of the Holy Spirit.

There were other river mentioned 

in the Bible like Euphrates  that

was in the area of Eden. The Red

Sea that was parted when the

Egyptians were after them. The

Nile of Egypt. 

It seems to me rivers feel romantic 

and going to any in the country is

a thrill. Before I  knew God really 

as a child I  thought he spent a

lot of time in the mountains and

the oceans. What the river represents 

means he is there too.

In United States there is the Mississippi 

best known though the Missouri is the

largest though it flows into the Mississippi 

too.  In my state of Washington the 

Columbia River is the most known though

there are a lot of rivers here. It actually 

starts in British Columbia  Canada in the 

Rockies Mountains.

The most notable  River and largest in

Canada is the St.Lawrence. I visited 

there as a child. The one I visited the

most often is the Fraser River in British 

Columbia when I travel to see my cousins.

The Yangtze River is the longest in China

and Asia. China has five major rivers

and they all a part of the history of China.

Volga River is the longest in Russia and 

all of Europe.  Danube is the second

in Budapest,  Hungary though goes 

through ten countries.  The Rhine River

very well known though not nearly as

long as the first two.

In Africa the Nile is the longest however

there is the Congo, Niger, Zambezi and

the Orange River as the top five.

We can't  forget in South America  the

most known in Brazil  is the  Amazon 

River. Every river of the world  has a

a story to tell. Wherever you live or

travel go to a river or more than one.

Let God give you his life through the

River of the Holy Spirit.

Doing The Extraordinary

We maybe just ordinary people

however our purpose will allow

us to do the extraordinary.

God didn't create us just to be

here to do ordinary things.

He gave us gifts and talents to

go even further.

Those who have lived amazing lives

believe they might be ordinary and

that is what life is about.

Have the extraordinary become the

ordinary for us. God loves us and

to do the extraordinary be exciting

and true.  ♥♥♥♥♥

Not To Be An Island

Though it is important  we share time

being alone it is important  not to be

an island. 

Being single  I sometimes feel that 

I am being forced to be an island  

which doesn't  make me feel  good.

At these times it is important  that 

I think good thoughts. The enemy 

wants me to feel excluded. 

I do know there are those who do

feel  better being an island. The

answer is to get out of our comfort 

zone.

I am sure there are  lots of reasons 

to feel like being an island however 

it is important  to resist. It doesn't 

mean you can't  be alone at times

however others are good to be 

around. 

The trouble most likely  is  that you 

are around  people  that  are not 

good  for you. So look for those

who would be better for you. In

fact they could be others who

rather spend time on the island 

too.

I  hope this helps you. Be on the 

island when it is time to refresh

and then get back on mainland.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

What Are Your Hobbies

I am sure some  people wonder whether

there hobbies are part of their purpose. 

I believe they are very much so. I have 

been in ministry  where I  have given 

people their original design which is

another name for their life purpose. 

In most cases a hobby is included in

their purpose.  I  believe it validates

their purpose  and  knows that God

cares for their life.

I  have to say sports  has always been

a hobby and  interest  as long as I

remember.  I  am  not  sure  why other

than my dad took me to a minor league 

baseball game when I  was  young. My

dad wasn't  a lot interested in sports 

however loved that I did.

The years that I  played little league

baseball one year my dad was our

team coach. Every year we had a

different dad who coached the team.

I think it wasn't  very common since

many teams had the same coach. I 

am sure  there were dad's  of other

players helped out too. 

Growing up I played football,  basketball,

and tennis as well. Tennis I  played much

of my adult life too. It is the best sport

I  played well. Baseball  still my favorite 

and I  still watch many games on television.

I go to a few major league games as well

as the minor league park my dad took me

too. It has been renovated so doesn't look

the same though. Now I  can look forward 

to another season  coming  up. 

Your hobbies and activities  are  part of

you so makes it a purpose  as well. Not

only you take enjoyment  you can talk 

to others as well  about them and they

become among those you speak too.

❤️❤️❤️❤️

Natural And Spiritual

For centuries  the natural and  spiritual 

were seen as being  difference in use.

For many the natural  was evil while

the spiritual  is good.

In the some ways that is true. In our

natural  we have a sinful nature  however

the best of us means we can work  the

natural  with the  spiritual. 

We have talents that are natural  while

the gifts  are spiritual.  The gifts that

are spiritual  have s similar  talent as 

well.  For we can have wisdom both

natural  and spiritual.  The natural  

wisdom  we were born with while 

the spiritual  was given to us by

God.

The natural  wisdom  has a lot to

offer however spiritual  wisdom

has even more. The spiritual 

wisdom will come from God

when we need it. We can give

a word to someone  that  we

know that we would never 

get into our mind naturally. 

The spiritual  is expected by

God to work with the natural. 

Otherwords we should take

our spiritual  gifts  and  use

them in the natural  world. 

The person receiving the

gift from us must believe

by faith. It can be the faith

the person  speaking the

gift too. 

We receive the gift  the other

person  should be one that

we know or the one we receive 

from someone  we don't  will

confirm something  we have

been thinking about or receive 

from someone  we know before.

All gifts come down to faith.

May you have a wonderful  day

and enjoy the natural  along

with the spiritual.  ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Looking At the Weekend

Most everyone has a way to

spend their weekends. For

some who work on Saturday

or Sundays can have it differently.

Some have Friday off or Monday.

What we do on our weekends

may differ depending on the

time of the year. The winter

might be spending time skiing

or snowboarding or basketball

to name a few options. 

Families have things they enjoy

doing. Spring, summer and fall 

may cut the grass every other 

weekend and there is gardening

as well. For some they may go

an outing before any vacation

time once or twice a month. 

I figure those who don't have 

the time during the week where

you don't do your purpose other

then what the job contains and

family can do. Taking time out

doing on the weekend to spend

doing our purpose that we can't

during the week.

We are all unique in our purpose

so how much we do during the

week will be different on the

weekends. For some the weekend

is time to rest or do those things

we may not consider part of our

purpose however still have to be 

done.  ♥♥♥♥♥

Update On the Hoh River

One of the  great sites on the Washington  

State  coast is the Hoh River National  

Forest. 

Back on September  19, 2017 I  posted

our family  trip to the Hoh River. It is

one  of  the  top  posts I have had here.

Anyway  news came out this week that

no one can go into the Hoh River because

it closed right now. There is damage to

the road to get into the National  Forest.

The National  Forest is looking to get

a federal  grant to fix the road. Not sure

when the road will be able  to be used

once again. It is important to the area

around  it as far as making money by

the tourists coming. Like many places

around the  world  weather  causes

damage like this.

Many people  come from all over the

world to visit.  When it does reopen

I will give an update for those who

want to come.  ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Taking it Easy

On Monday I took things easy

as I feel a little sick. Here in

Western Washington a lot

of people have come down

with the flu and other illnesses.

I feel fortunate.

It is important we all take a 

day off even if what we feel

isn't really too bad. I figure

I will get better this way.

Please pray for the people here

and those in your area that are

not feeling well. It is another

part of our purpose. Amen!

♥♥♥♥

Our Speaking

It is so important the words that

we do speak. We can give life 

or death to others.

Don't take tge words you say

lightly or what others say to you.

It is so important to give encouraged

words. It can change others lives.

Not a bad idea to do the same for

ourselves.

When you say bad  words they can

be a curse as well. This is especially

true if they are damaging.

If someone says damaging or

a curse you must forgive them.

At the same time speak out

against those words to give

life back to you. If you speak

a bad word or curse ask for

forgiveness.

We sometimes say things out

of frustration. Don't waste time

to take care of it. 

♥♥♥♥♥

When Waking Up

I am sure we all have a routine 

when we first wake up in the 

morning. 

We may  lay in bed for a few

minutes before getting  up.

Whether I am bed or after

getting  up I listen then

meditate and follow by 

praying. 

I am sure some make coffee

or tea when they first get out

of bed.

I believe listening, meditation 

and praying all work together.

I think throughout the day

which goes through  all three

of those as well.

This morning  thinking my

thoughts were is today 

going to be different than

yesterday  and what am I 

doing a little  different. 

I usually  start writing here

after going through those

three areas. I  did make coffee 

this morning  though I  don't 

everyday. Sometimes  I  make

tea or I drink apple  juice. 

What you do before anything 

else in the morning  it is a 

good  way to get the day

going.

The next up for me is to see

what else is going on in the

world. I  do some reading 

as well.

So have a wonderful  day 

and may it be productive.

May the light shine and

love be joined in. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Gratitude Goes A Long Ways

Though life be frustrating at times

having  gratitude can go a long

ways.

I remember  some other kids 

while growing  up were very

polite. They learned from their

parents. They even said sir

to their fathers. 

Gratitude  can make us have

more friends. One thing we can't 

have enough of them.

Have this day the day of gratitude. 

Let's  see how things go. Those

who do it a lot already thanks.

❤️❤️❤️❤️

Spring Looks Like It Has Arrived

The spring in Western Washington

looks like it has arrived for the 

beginning of March.

We will have some rain however

we will some sunny says as well.

This is a good place to visit in

the spring, summer and fall.

We have the mountains and

the oceans. They are all in a

good distance of driving.

A lot of visitors will take a 

cruise from Seattle to Alaska

as well. The prices are pretty

reasonable too.

Whatever your travel plans are

this year have a great time.

♥♥♥♥♥

Being Nice And Positive

I have heard from some friends  

they wish people  were more 

kind to each other.

Have a positive  attitude  would 

bea good start for sure.

On social media is where negative 

and unkind words spoken. I would

recommend  to get off sites that

people  speak negative and unkind

for much of the time.

Reading  and hearing  negative 

words can be not only hurtful

however we can start acting

that way ourselves. 

It is good to be around positive 

people.  If you have friends that

speak  negative  let them know

you don't  appreciate it. 

Have a wonderful  and positive 

day. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
