Many Avenues To Go

Most of us our purpose  has to do with 

our job. Sometimes  figured out before  

the right job.

There are other areas like ministry, 

mentoring or volunteer.  Your  life

experience  helps out in any of those

three areas.

If you have been a parent your purpose

was involved in your purpose and still

might me. If your children  are gone 

and they are not in the area ministry,

mentoring and volunteering  are good

avenues to pursue. There are  young

people who didn't have a father or

mother to help.  They could becoming 

parents themselves.  I have heard the

saying before  there is no handbook

to be a parent. This is true for many 

other things too.

My thought just came you might be

the person to write the handbook or

at least it is coming out in human

firm. Put your mind to and you will

find even more to your purpose.

Cooled Down

The high temperatures only lasted

a couple days here in Western 

Washington before going down.

I like it better when it's around 26 

degrees Celsius which it went 

down to. 

We all have preferences in weather 

as well as anything else. This is

what makes us unique.

Several of us from my high school 

graduation  class got together for

breakfast on Thursday. It is interesting 

to talk about the days growing up and

what is going on now.

We talked about a few of those who

have passed away. What is sad is

most of them never reached their

potential of life purpose. In fact

some had tragic endings.

Those stories were hard to hear 

however let's us be grateful for

what we have. Just like the 

temperatures our lives things

good up and down. The key is

how do we handle it.  

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

There Is No Where To Go Than Up

We all have a job to do in our purpose.

Tell  at least  one person that they

have a purpose.  

I have no idea what the stats are 

however more people  than not 

I expect don't  know they have

a purpose.  I know I had no idea

at one time.

Whatever you are doing in your

purpose  you still able to go higher.

Do you feel  at times you get distracted 

well the reason  Satan knows what your

potential  is and he is going to make

every effort you don't  reach it. 

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Our Driving Force

There is something inside us that

drives us to do what we do.

This not only makes us unique 

for each of us and will define 

our life purpose.

As I have mentioned before 

our purpose can change over

time. Our age and circumstances 

are both big keys.  

The status of the world and how

we see it can do so as well. I 

know someone who is now

retired and his purpose is a

lot to do with politics. It isn't 

the only thing as he oversees

ministry at his church.

He even came to me and said 

he had been praying for me.

He had the sense that my 

purpose  was going to a higher 

level in the local community I 

live in.

I look forward to what that is

and be able to share with you

all. I would like to travel some

and possibly into some

of you. Not sure of the odds 

however anything is possible.

 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Hotter Than Normal

Here in Western Washington we got

up to 35 degrees Celsius on Wednesday.

This doesn't happen often around

here. 

In Eastern Washington it is usually 

six degrees more in the summer

while six colder in the winter.

I stayed indoors for the most part.

These days I don't get sun burn

very often I still watch it. My mother 

always made sure I was ok when

I was a kid.  If I do spend a bit of

time outside I do put sunscreen on.

I receive weather alerts so of course

they warned about being outside.

I hope whatever the weather is in

your parts life is a blessing to you

and your purpose is shining.

🌞🌞🌞❤️❤️❤️

Discover New Things

Our day should include discovering 

new things. It can begin while 

going out for a walk on a trail.

This can be looking up to the

sky or seeing a new flower of

berries.

It is interesting when I see a

berry while walking I am not

sure whether I can eat one or

not if is unfamiliar. In that

case I leave it alone.

Last year I looked up into the

sky and one of the clouds 

looked angry. I wondered

how it be. Since then I haven't 

seen any angry clouds.  There

are times where the clouds do

look to be raining in a few 

minutes. It doesn't always come

to pass.  At least not   where 

I am at.

Going out at dark looking up

we can see the stars and

the moon. I love those times.

Discovering new people or

animals is a good thing.

Being outside is a good time

to meditate or pray as well.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

  While walking at night. 

Having Strength

We know that life can bring troubles.

We have all experienced it now and 

then.

Jesus Christ said someone harms

you turn the other check. Not an

easy thing to do sometimes.

Our purpose should bring kindness 

to everyone. It doesn't mean we will

get the same in return. What we do

in return is the answer.

May your day be full of joy and

kindness. If you are ill may you

be healed by God. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Stages Of Our Purpose

Life does seem short even.if

we like we might be living

three lives.

Stages of life brings opportunity 

for the use of our purpose. A

youngster is figuring out his

purpose. As far for a job he

thinks of being a fireman,

policeman or an athlete to

mention a few.

A teenager is beginning to 

take the avenues and thinking

seriously of a career.  

Graduation from high school 

the next step is college or

going right to work or to

a vocational school.  In

some cases they might

change what their major 

is.

After graduation they start

their career of go another

step. A doctor, a nurse or

a lawyer have more school 

ahead of them.

For some at the same age

may have gotten married 

or at least thought about 

it. The next step would be 

to have children and raise

a family..

During this period they

might be looking at other

purposes in direction of

hobbies or helping others.

When the family is all

grown up they try to 

find other opportunities 

for a purpose. When their

children are  going through 

the stages of having a

family themselves to help

guide them as they did 

for going into a career.

The next step is being a

senior and what entails.

This would be the time 

to enjoy your grandchildren 

if they are in the area or

go for visits if they are not.

For some may to travel

and go to other countries 

to help others with their

skill sets or have a good

time or both. 

Having activities with other

seniors as long as they

can. Getting exercise to

stay healthy. This is a good

time to help others with

your knowledge and 

experience. You do this

until you can't no more.

Stages of life purpose is

a gain of understanding 

and knowing what life

is all about. Your purpose 

may change through the

steps however you are

an unique human being.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Enjoy Traveling

Many people enjoy traveling 

to other parts of the world

or in their country

We know cost can be an area

of difficulty for many. The idea

would put money aside to do 

so. Maybe a day don't buy a

coffee or wait on a purchase.

I know large countries like

United States going to other

states is always in the thinking.

Shorter trips say like the 

weekend nis good. You can 

explore other places in the 

area of four or five hours away.

Washington State there are 

places I haven't been to or 

for some time. Idaho, Oregon 

and Montana are near by 

states. Just a thought for 

you to get away  for a 

weekend especially if it is

a three day weekend.  ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Our Imagination

Whether we are reading or just

thinking we should use our 

imagination.

When we are dreaming our

imagination is at work. Being

awake using our imagination 

should be at work.

Reading we explore more things.

When thinking it can help our 

purpose too.  We can see where

it will go ahead in the days and

weeks ahead. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Another Country

In United States often churches have

missions to other places in the country 

or going to another country.

I know a church where a group

of young people are currently in

Mexico for a week. Several adults

besides the youth pastor are on

the mission. Not only do they

share the gospel of Jesus Christ 

with the youth in Mexico they help 

on projects like fixing up homes.

They are likely meeting with a

ministry based in Mexico and 

working with other youth from

other parts of United States or

other countries.

Going on a trip like this is quite 

an experience the youth and the

adults will never forget. This

allows them to get out of their 

 comfort zone and appreciate 

what they have.

This is a good idea for anyone 

to stretch themselves to go to

another country as a family or

a group. I know I enjoy when I 

see visitors coming to United

States.

This can increase your purpose 

as well or you realize what your

purpose should be. Another thing

you are meeting new people and

having a good time.  ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Laying Ourselves Down

One of the main things with our

life purpose if you haven't figured

it out yet is to lay down our lives

for others.

As a Christian this what our lives

is all about to lay it down for

others. Jesus Christ is the example

as he layed down his life for us.

We are supposed to do the same.

We all have a unique purpose in

life so how it works is different for 

each.

We each have a calling and a 

community too reach.  Included

in this is our family and friends.

The rest are those we may work

with or we see on occasion. Also

those we might only meet once.

Maybe they are a visitor to our

community. They might have a

friend living in our community. 

How you reach and lay down 

your life is most likely different 

than mine.  The important thing 

is to do so. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Early Walk

On Tuesday I decided to take a 

early walk. The main reason to 

stay out of the heat.

It is interesting how life is when 

doing something else outside

the main routine. 

While walking early I saw the

sun in the stages of riding. I

was walking in the shade most

of the time as well. I didn't see

as many people either. They were 

new people for that matter.

After the walk I went to the coffee 

shop and the people there were

new faces as well. Before returning 

home I went to the grocery store.

Not as crowded too.

The biggest question what do I 

do now. One thing for sure I will 

do the same again this summer 

when I don't go to the gym. 

Life  is interesting when not

being in the same routine.

This was much like being on

vacation.  This to is a good 

way to see what other things

can be done with our life 

purpose.  ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Being a Patriot

Last Friday on July 4th was United States 

Independence Day. I have thought now

again about being a Patriot.

My family wasn't here back in July 4, 1776

however I think about it. Today many are 

fighting causes they believe in whether I

agree or not.

The Patriot in United States originally 

fought to have the freedom of religion. 

This the reason they came to this country.

I know today there are a lot of things to

fight for in the countries of the World.

Millions of people are wanting a similar 

freedom themselves. Some come to

United States to receive what isn't offered

where they were born. 

I know to that there are Patriots in many

other countries who fight in what they

believe in. In fact our life purpose might

be to fight. One thing I know is I will

fight for my relationship with God if

anyone tries to take it away from me.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

 

Disappointments

We all have gone through different 

types of disappointments.

Family changes or being hurt

or sickness are some of those 

disappointments. 

The key is how to we handle them.

For me at a young age I couldn't 

hear right until I was five years 

old.  

I have been ok in that manner 

though it took me ten years to

read at my school level.

Though reading was difficult I

still was a good speller and I 

could write. I amazed though

I couldn't read like I wanted 

I still was able to write for

others to understand.

I have read many stories over

the years how many people 

have overcome bad beginnings.

Are you still in a difficult place

find someone who can help

you. Those talents and gifts

are in you though not able to

use them yet.  ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Work Hard

Whether we have a job or retired

it is important to work hard.

The greatest work has to do

with the talents and gifts.

They are important for others

to enjoy.

I enjoy those who are good 

singers or play an instrument.

They will help our souls.

Those who play a sport bring

joy to those who watch them.

Sportsmanship is a good 

example  too. Team work

helps all who participate.

Our gifts will help others

in the same manner as our

talents and maybe more 

May you be joyful and 

encouraged.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Good Attitude Towards All

It is so important that we treat

all with with respect.

This is really important with

those who don't agree with 

each other.

I amazed how families split

up over politics. You would

think blood be stronger.

Much of my family don't 

agree with my side of politics.

It doesn't change how I feel 

about them.

Living our lives consistently 

will show the positive side

of our lives. Let this be true. 

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Walking Together

It is a blessing to have those who 

will walk together with you.

This will allow your purpose to

come out fully.

God doesn't want us to be by

ourself. He wants us to seek

after him and have those will

walk the  journey with you too.

May your life be all what you

want it to be. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Countries Purpose

I write from a  Christian  perspective  however every

country and culture have a perspective  of purpose 

too.

In the United States our constitution  is about 

freedom for the most part.  Many people come

from other countries  to live in a better place.

The United States Constitution is built on Christian 

principles  and everyone  has the freedom of 

practicing their own religion. The United States 

isn't  a Christian nation anymore. 

Everyone  who comes not only has the right

to practice their religion they have a right

to speak their own mind as long as it doesn't 

interfer with others. The opportunities to

live the way you desire is still here as well. 

The big issue issue right now is President 

Trump trying to remove  illegal aliens out of

the country.  I agree with it in part. Some

people think it ridiculous  to send them 

away while others think each one should go.

My thought is if the illegal  aliens are coming

from countries  where they would  fear for

their lives and they are good people otherwise 

why not. If they are holding down a good job

and not living off the government  than a good

thing as well.  I know some friends believe

since they didn't come in as they should as

proper aliens they should be sent right back

even with the fear of death.

Again my thought how about being in their

shoes. Wouldn't  you try to get out anyway 

you can. I am sure those who were born

and lived all their lives in United States 

some could have ancestors who came here

a hundred or more years ago and would be

identified as illegal aliens  too since paperwork 

wasn't  kept then as now. Everyone  should 

be tested on t by ear own story.

I know there is more going on in this however 

on a Christian principle give mercy. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Our Freedoms

In United States we are blessed 

to have freedom though in the

area of speech there are those

who are wanting to keep some

from keeping their mouths shut.

Though we have freedom of 

speech  it is important to 

watch what we do say. A 

subject could be thought

of as a hate crime. 

I believe it is important to 

watch what we do say. I 

believe in speaking the 

truth however in a manner

 of love and encourage.

The hardest part to hear 

and see is some who come 

from other countries do spit 

on our flag. This should not 

be allowed since it a hate 

crime against the country.

How would you like if 

someone did that in your 

country.

Here it is July now. Here in 

Washington State this our

best weather of the year.

For visitors this is the best

time to come. We have

mountains, lakes and rivers.

May you have a wonderful 

week. For those who live in 

a country  that doesn't have 

the same  freedoms we pray

for a change. We are so 

blessed  to have here I pray 

that things  will never change.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Canada Day

Though I lived my life in United

States I have family in Canada

as well. So I find it right to celebrate 

their independence on July 1.

My mother was born and raised 

in Canada. She came to United

States in her mid twenties.

My sister was born in Seattle 

Washington and lived until

her late 20s. She met a man

at graduate school from Canada.

My sister has two sons born in

Canada as well as a grandson.

I have three first cousins who

are from British Columbia Canada.

They all have children and 

grandchildren in Canada. 

I have always felt Canada as family 

as well as United States. There are

few differences between the two

however enjoy both.  ❤️❤️❤️❤️
