Open Eyes

Another thing came to my mind

is our purpose should allow 

others to open their eyes.

Not everyone thinks they have

a purpose and created for one.

They just do their own thing.

I didn't realize that for many years 

even after becoming a Christian.

God gives me more to say. I believe

the same for everyone.

We don't have to say a lot just what

we are given. They could be a few

paragraphs  or just a few words.

I amazed how many of my friends 

as well as relatives are writing 

books. They give a message whether

it is fiction or non-fiction. 

Podcasts are a good way to reach 

people to and get entertained by

those who have that gift.

May you be blessed in whatever 

your purpose and calling is.

Keep checking in here as I look

to encourage you. May love 

wash all over you. If you think

this will help friends of yours

let them know to. Peace! 

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Are We Good

In our mind we think that we are 

good. You measure by God's 

way we are not. 

His grace makes it wonderful.

Unfortunately most people 

don't realize it.

It is so important that we are

better than we are. Treat each

other like God does with grace.

Not an easy task since it isn't 

so natural for us. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Being Respected

These days it is hard find often

being respected by others.

Most likely those you have known 

for a long time and gained their

respect. 

Our character is the best way to

gain others respect. It may take

a long time to do so though in

some cases you may right away.

Those you mentor are the ones

that you need to gain respect

and they may find out from 

others you have already mentored.

It may take time to get respect

from new people. The best we

can do is be ourself and give

them respect in return. A good

gift for all.

Those who have a difference in

opinions  especially in politics 

will be hard to do. Many often

won't be kind to those differ 

in politics. Best thing is not to

talk politics unless you already

know that you agree together. 

It will be important to respect

others despite having a difference 

in politics. Unfortunately in 

United States the philosophy of 

the two primary parties are so 

much different.

Wish you the best in this regard as well 

as continuing in your life purpose.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Having More Diversity

When I was growing up in my home

town there wasn't a lot of diversity.

Now there is a lot more. 

When I went to college some time 

later I learned in school and outside

a lot more about diversity. It wasn't 

just the students the business classes

we learned how to deal with it came

to being in business. Also becoming 

a manager how to work with employees 

in all types of way.

This is important to deal with diversity 

in our life purporse. Everyone is different 

no matter what culture they come from.

The same goes for age.

We often want to be around  those like

us.  The truth is even those who may

seem like us there are differences as well.

It is important to learn so much about 

people and how they act. I am not an

expert at all but I want to treat others

like I want to be treated.  ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Interesting People While Starting My Travel Journey

My travel began with meeting the taxi

driver I had to take me to local hotel 

to take shuttle to the airport.

She saved me a few dollars over the

taxi I took when I visited my sister

nine months ago. She happens to

be a life long resident as I am. We 

even knew a few people and I am sure

many more in our limited conversation.

She has a good job doing the taxi since

her husband gets up early for his job.

She had already taken a passagener 

to the airport. It was a reasonable 

amount though more than I pay between 

the two.

At the hotel I met a woman who was going

to a wedding of her brother's in Florida.

While I was at the airport having breakfast 

I met two more women going to weddings

as well one in California and the other in

Minnesota. Able to have a few laughs with

them both.

I talked to another woman while waiting 

our flight to Washington DC.  She was 

going back  home after spending 

time with a friend she has known for 

some time when living in Chicago. 

She gave me an outline of her trip

Her children are now in college so 

she can visit anytime however likes 

this time of year.

On the plane I sat in the middle.

A woman on the left who read 

a book most of the time. She took

a nap in the beginning than I took

a nice sleep for a while since Thursday 

night I didn't get my normal since I 

was anxious. I was able to talk to

her before our landing. She was 

traveling with her daughter and both

returning to Virginia though don't 

live in the same city. She seems 

guiet. She gave me a nice smile. 

The guy on the left looks like about

late 20s or early 30s. No conversation 

other than saying hello when got into

our seats. Now we just landed. A 

farewell  goodby to him who lives in 

Virginia as well. 

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

A Flying Experience

I am looking for another flying experience.

I haven't done it as often as I like however

more often that a train. 

In my gym class a couple ladies were 

talking about taking a train across 

Canada. That would be a lovely 

experience. I let them know about

my trip across Canada as a 12 year old.

If you like you can go back to one of

my early posts that I wrote about that

trip.

I think any trip is exciting to remember 

later on. Memories  an be remembered 

for a long time. The good ones especially.

 Bad ones on planes can be loss of luggage 

or long delays.  

May your next travel be good.  ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Continue On Free Speech

I have had  a few posts before on

freedom of speech which is in our 

Constitution.

It is a great thing that we have it

in United States where many 

countries in the world do not.

Even though we have free speech 

doesn't mean we can say anything 

we want without reprecautions.

For one thing you can't threaten 

the President of the United States

and likely others in authority of 

government. You can't say hi jack

at the airport. I know that one well

since my younger brother's name

is Jack. At least not loudly.

You can't spread hate crimes either.

Many businesses will fire employees 

for anything that sounds like a hate

crime.  With many shootings going 

on in school the FBI and police 

departments will check on social

media if anyone might be a threat.

This comes down to what some

may consider a hate crime. Since

the shooting and assassination 

of Charlie Kirk this will become

more of a touchy subject.

I have seen many on social media 

degrading Charlie Kirk and I expect

many didn't even know who he was. 

This is a very sad situation in my

opinion. I even mentioned on social 

media that there no room to hate 

someone. As a Christian you are

not supposed to hate anyone. This

doesn't mean you accept what they

have done just the act of the person. 

I don't think many people even know

what love is to its fullest. If you are 

a parent you likely the closest to pure

love. The same could be for a child

to their parents depending on the

situation. In fact if you are not in

good situation depending how rooted 

it is if something happens to them

real love will come out likely.

Take a mother bear they will protect

their cubs to any extent. I am sure

human mother's would do the same..

As things are going on in United 

States some freedoms could be

taken away. It comes down to

how much hate happens. The

thing many will think it is not

hate and that certainly is trouble

some. 

I will have further thoughts in

the future depending on what 

happens in the United States.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Going Travel

This weekend through next weekend 

I am going on a trip to see my brother

and a portion of his family.

I am going to meet my new grandniece

for the very first time. She will become

three months old while I am there.

It is nice to get away and meet new people the trip. 

while at the airports as well as elsewhere.

Maybe I will discover more of my life

purpose. It is ongoing process for us all.

I will continue to post while I am on the

trip. Let you know how it goes. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Light and Darkness

There are more who are coming 

into the light than those in

darkness.

Often those in darkness speak

loudly however those who are

in the light will do more so.

Those who are in the light 

will be shown as well. The

brightness will be seen.

This is another area we were 

created for purpose. Let others

know even if only a view words 

❤️❤️❤️❤️

Making Your Purpose Clearly

We should make our purpose 

clearly to others. Right now

people need us more than 

ever.

You were made for today.

Your personality, character 

and gifts. 

You are in the right place.

The country you live in

needs you.  Traveling 

other places is fine too.

Write down in your journal 

any thoughts you have and

look at them as often as 

you can.

Say hi to someone even if

it is the only word you speak

or a smile that they see. 

The future they will remember

you. 

At the gym on Saturday a couple 

young ladies asked me how

my Zumba class went. I told

them they should join.  ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

They Should Stop Lying

We know when it comes to politics 

they are good at lying especially those

on the left. It doesn't mean the

conservatives are much better. I 

am sure they lie when it is important 

in their eyes.

It is amazing how politicians come

and say how the other side is lying.

The truth is they should be working

for everyone and not just for those

who voted for them. Time to get

their act together for the good of

everyone. I am not holding my breath. Lol

I don't talk a lot about politics so you

won't say much often. My purpose  is

to speak out encouragement wherever I 

am. See you follow suit.

Love and hate are both choices so we 

need to choose love.  Hate doesn't 

help anyone. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Living Now

We should live in two ways.

As though it is forever and 

that today is the last day. 

It would make it wonderful 

if we did so.

Making a positive stamp on

this world and the community 

we live. 

Use our character and personality 

to the fullest as well as  the gifts

and talents. 

We have more value than we 

realize so we must take a new

step forward each day to use

our purpose we were created 

for. 

Continue To Be Positive

The state of the world right now

we need to be positive always.

Not always easy with what is going

on in the world.

We need to know who is telling 

the truth and who are lying. Some

are so hard to tell since they can 

lie very good. 

It is important look at the spirit 

behind the message and the 

intention. 

I don't have a problem speaking my 

mind as you can probably tell. 

May you have joy during this day. 

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Being Committed

When it comes to our life purpose 

we should be committed. 

It is like being married where

we are committed to our partner.

Be committed to those who we 

are in relationship in our purpose. 

Even when times get tough.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Telling Someone You Love Them

The greatest thing we can do is to tell

someone  that you love them.

Going right along with it that  God loves 

them too. 

Religion  gets you only  so far.

Having a relationship  with God

is more important. 

Just like your best friend let God

know what  your feelings  are at

any given time. He can tell  you

what your life purpose is going

forward.

Let love reign in your life. Let put 

a smile on your face daily. 

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Having Fun

Something we should never forget

is having fun.

Often life can be a struggle so fun

can help us relax.  It is like going 

on a vacation however not cost us

anything depending what we are

doing for fun. 

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Darkness Will Not Prevail

I know some that are on darkside.

Well they will not prevail.

They think that they are right.

The trouble is many don't know

they are in darkness..

Speaking hate is not right.

Love will out do the darkness.

Faith is what will help us get through.

Know What We Believe

What is going on in the world today

we really do need to know what

we believe and why. 

Our purpose should show it as

well.

Take some time time every day 

to go over what you believe.

The opportunity arises tell a

friend that way other people 

ask you then you tell 100 percent 

what you believe and why. 

When you feel that you have

something to share speak it

out as well.   ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Finding Ourselves

Everyday we are here gives us

a chance to find ourself better.

Knowing others as well as 

our self. 

Living in community allows

us to do so with help by each

other. 

What has been going on in

the world and social media 

there are some I know that 

are not showing a good side.

They may show a kind hearted

way in person however opposite 

online.  It is sad how that is 

working.

We are in a spiritual battle where

we have to choose what side we

are on. I hope you think hard about

it. The side of good or evil.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Share What You Have

All that is required is to give 

all you have. 

You do so many will be blessed 

by your efforts.

Listen and speak what you

are given.

Others will learn from you 

and you from them.  ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Stand Firm

Whatever we do and who we are

we must stand firm. 

Right now we have more opposition 

in this world then ever before.

This why we have to stand firm.

It doesn't mean we judge others 

we stand on our beliefs. The

world  doesn't wants us to do so. 

We set an example where others

will think and say we are different. 

May your gifts  be shown and you

are living a great life. It doesn't mean 

you show others up though.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Loss Of Charlie Kirk

Wednesday  was another sad day in the United 

States as conservative  spokesman Charlie  Kirk

was murdered.

I have to admit until this day I  hadn't  heard of 

him as many of my friends have as I don’t follow 

national politics  as many of them do.

It is obvious  that Charlie  Kirk  did what his 

life purpose  a d calling on his  life. It is not 

only sad for those who followed and respected

him but for his family. 

God has called me to mourn and grieve for those

who have been persecuted  and lost their lives.

My thoughts and prayers  are for his family 

especially.  Every minute I  can I will mourn along

side them.

This shows once again the state of this country 

and world. Please pray for your family  and friends

especially  those on the front lines. I am sure

measures where more security  will happen  on

college campuses and elsewhere  where speakers

will be at. 

It is ironic that it the day before the anniversary of

September 11, 2001 which we won't  forget either.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Feeling Good

Are you feeling  good? It is so important 

we do even though some days may not 

be exactly  what we expect.

I find that usually  when I am not feeling 

good is when I  wake up in the morning 

or take a nap in the afternoon. Sometimes 

I wonder if I should ever take a nap again.

We should have a good attitude  at the 

beginning  of the day. Though  it might

not be the day we expect we have to 

remember those we know that are struggling 

and pray for  them. 

I know some I haven't  seen in a long time

however is needing  to have a heart transplant.

Right now they are prepping  her to be ready.

This week  she had to  have a pump put in the

left side of her heart. This week  she was able 

to see her children  for tge first time in a

month. What is great hundreds of thousands 

are praying  for her daily. Her name is Melissa 

so any time you pray put her name out there

too.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Nice Fresh Air

Here in Western Washington it is 

going to be fall soon.

It is nice to walk outside in the

fresh air though the possibility 

of rain does happen.

I believe it is a good way to be

positive as well. Something we

should  be often.

If depression starts happening 

I recommend getting hold of

a friend to lift you up. 

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Continue To Encourage

Whether we have the gift of encouragement 

or not it should be a part of our life

purpose. 

I do read a lot of positive and negative 

posts on line. In person most people 

are positive in much greater than online.

I am disgusted with the negative posts

which I shared on Facebook.  They

are people I know so I let those who 

write negative posts that I believe they

are better than that. I don't mind whether 

anyone responds or not. 

Let's be positive even when we don't 

feel doing so. Obviously there are 

people who can make us angry.

May your day be blessed. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Being Excited

Whatever we are doing we should 

be excited in doing so.

We should give up what we think

is right. We are not above anyone 

else. 

Devine invitation should occur

often.  We we are out in our

community they are bound to

happen. 

I am far from being perfect.

This is the right place to be.

Keep your eyes on others. We

may not know them well however

if your mind will tell  you how to

reach them.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Your Plan

Are you one that plans your day or you one

that sees what happens. 

This is why we are unique.  There is no

right answer whether we plan  or see

what happens. 

It isn't  a  bad idea to do one or the 

other on occasion if you do one

more often. 

Most often I  go to the gym and although

that is planned anything can happen too.

Last Friday I  decided to walk the  waterfront 

since  I  hadn't  done it for a few  weeks. 

During the  walk I went into the deli on the

waterfront.  I ended up chatting  with a

couple and two young ladies who wee

nearby me. As usual  I enjoyed it.

I felt  to that they were devine appointments.

Usually I  believe that is true whenever meeting 

new people. One of the young ladies I gave her

this blog. Who knows maybe she will read this

post. 

May your day be great whether planned or

spontaneous. Remember  either way the

day won't  be exactly  as we thought. 

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Our Purpose Should Look Like

Since we were created in the image

of God this is what our purpose 

should look like.

Being frail as we are it is impossible 

to be exactly as God is however 

this what our purpose should

resemble as close as we can

Most religions are set for us

to make every effort to be like

God. The trouble is human 

effort will not succeed.

We must rely on God to help

us to be as much like him

as possible. We will fail most

of the time however it doesn't 

change for us to rely on him.

This is why we tell others the

path to go on. 

The truth is we make it all

more complicated than it

really is. Wake up say God I

know that your purpose in

my life is to do your will.

Please let it happen.

Your journal you should write

where you made it right and

where you went wrong.

Whether you are a mentor 

or a friend do the very best

that you can. 

Let your yes be yes and your no 

be no. Have a great day and may

joy live in your life.  ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Win the Battle

A lot of us feel we have lost the 

war. Well you are still here.

God is on your side so he fights

for you. 

Whatever your weaknesses are

give them over to God.

The left wants us  to be in fear.

The battle isn't against those on

the left. The battle is spiritual,

it just shows they are being used. 

Your purpose should be to share 

with others about the battle and

you have already won even when

it doesn't look like it. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

In His Image

We were created in the image of God.

The trouble is most of us have no idea

what it means.

As a Christian you must be born again 

You have to be Holy as he is Holy.

We must realize we can't live on our own

strength and we are sinners.

We must know what our purpose 

really is and go for it.

Those are just a few things we should 

know.  ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Making A List

Going into September I figure it

is important we make a list

about our purpose.

First of all list what we consider

our purposes. The gift and talents.

What we are doing with our purpose.

Who are we spending our time with 

in our purpose. 

How many people we are having 

influence with.

How are they benefiting us as well 

as us them. 

What goals do we want to accomplish 

before the end of the year.

Look at your previous list and see

how they look.

What would you like to accomplish 

next year if possible.

Besides the list

Write a journal putting down your

feelings.  

Anything else write them down too.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Be Strong

It is important for us to be strong in the

mind. It is dependent on  God's strength and his alone. Our strength will fail us most of 

the time.

We are weak for the most part. God's 

strength is a lot stronger.

Whenever negative thoughts come and

they will is to lean on God. 

Our purpose should help others realize

that God is our answer to everything. This

especially true when we are going through

things.  ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Labor Day

Monday is labor day every year at this time.

This honors those who work especially 

working for a union.

Today there are still several unions that

are strong however not as many. Those 

who are strong a lot has to do with doing

government jobs. Each union has prevailing 

wages when it comes to government jobs.

Whether this is right or not it is what it is.

When you are a worker this is a major 

player in your life purpose along with

family. You want to provide for your

family. Years ago the husband was the

primary one to work. Now with cost

of living many women have to work 

as well. 

Working for a woman can bring purpose 

and satisfaction as well. Many worked

for this reason alone however it is a

need as well depending where you live.

With the Internet women or men can stay

home to do their job if that is their desire.

With small children this can cut down

the cost of daycare if they choose to. 

Raising children is a privilege and teaching

them their purpose is a good idea when

you have an idea what it is.   ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
