Now is the Holiday Season

I am not up for Christmas or the
holiday season until December
hits.

On Friday my favorite coffee shop

was playing Christmas carols. Not

ready for it but at least they were

playing old time songs you hear

in church instead of the newer songs.

I guess we can say it now officially

the holiday season.  It is a good time

to share our purpose to others. There

are those who need hope and this is

a good time to share our hope.

Though schools and other institutions

call it winter vacation when it comes

up in about three weeks I still consider

Christmas vacation. Instead of saying

happy holidays to say merry Christmas.

Those you can tell are not Christians

saying happy holidays is better thing

to do.  This all depends on the person.

So happy holiday season and Merry

Christmas in four weeks. Isn't hard

to believe the year is almost over

and we look to 2022. Amen!

Be ourselves and kind to one another

Jesus Christ said we are to love one

another.  It doesn't mean we have to 

agree on everything either. We just 

should not be rude or think bad of

one another.


We all were given talents and gifts
to share with one another as well.
We are all created unique and though
some may share some of the same
gifts and talents we may use them in
different ways.


The purpose of our gifts and talents
to share with one another. We are
here to benefit one another. You
become a better person because of
me and I the same of you.


Have a great day and may others
who meet you are blessed even
if you don't say a word or only a
few.

Happy Thanksgiving

I want to wish everyone everywhere a
Happy Thanksgiving!

Enjoy your day whatever and wherever
you are at. We are blessed even in the
most trouble of times! Amen!

Always Good To Hear Good News

I am sure we all enjoy hearing good news.
On Tuesday at my doctor's appointment
about my heart I found out I won't have a
fibulator installed. Instead I will go through
a procedure called "Catheter Ablation".

Most likely this procedure will take place

in a couple months. I see the doctor who

will do the procedure on December 15. 

He will go through with me what the

procedure does and what I should expect.

What I do know is they will go in on one

end of my heart with a catheter that includes

wires. The purpose is to destroy bad cells

causing my heart to beat more often than

it should or what is also known my heart

skipping a lot. This procedure will stop

my heart from skipping. If needed I

could have a pacemaker installed. They

won't know until the catheter is in my

heart.

We always like to hear good news right.

I was hoping for the best and this sounds

like the best. It is important to trust the

doctors in what they are doing and have

the faith God will guide you through.

It will look like I will have to put my

travel plans on hold until February or

later. In the meantime I do my life

purpose right here. Amen!

Today's The Day

It has been more than a month. I find
out today whether I have a fibulator
installed or not.

I am fine with whatever the decision

the doctor says. I trust the doctor and

I know to that I am in the palm of God.

We all go through trials and tribulations

in our lives. This is just another one for

me. I have had a lot of prayer come my

way the last few months. I appreciate

everyone's prayers.

May you be blessed this day. Whatever

you are going through today things will

be OK. Amen!!

Exciting To Do

I have mentioned before how I enjoy
giving people when ministering a
piece of their life purpose. They all
see it makes sense.

If you don't know what your life 

purpose is just think about it for

a few minutes. 

What do you enjoy doing. It makes

up a part of your life purpose. Your

personality and character make a

part as well. 

Since I am able to get into what

a person  is like when ministering

I figured I am going to try something

next. 

When I am at coffee shop to spend 

some time to see a piece of someone

purpose. I am not going to do it for

everyone but maybe  one or two 

people.

I may begin with someone I already

know to some extent. What their

gifts and talents are. 

I figure it is good practice and 

exciting to do. I may even tell

them if I feel the urge to do so.

See whether how close I am in

my thinking of their purpose.

It isn't like I want to get into 

everyone's personal business

but given a little piece about

a person or two. 

Thursday is coming

Thanksgiving is coming up soon. I know
there will be many traveling this week to
celebrate on Thursday. It is important to
stay safe as well. I am not sure what the
airlines rules are but a mask to wear
is in the cards probably.

I am not a big fan of masks but if that

are the rules follow without much fanfare.

I can only wear a mask for a short period

of time. It doesn't feel right for me. For a

while I felt like I could catch covid with 

the mask on. I already had covid and the

shots as well. I know that is a touchy

subject for some as well. So if I were 

to wear a mask for a long period of time

I would remove it for a few seconds on

occasion before putting back on. If I were

on a plane I would go to the bathroom to

remove the mask even if it were the only

reason to go to the bathroom. 

It is important to be thankful whether we

have a lot or a little. Everyday is precious

especially when we don't know how many

days we have. I know the holidays can be

rough with losing those close to us. Amen!

Let the sunshine in

This week we didn't have the rain like we
had last week. Wednesday was really the
only day it rained having a downpour for
a couple hours or. Fortunately it happened
about 30 minutes after my morning walk.

I only recalled where we saw sun for any

significant amount of time. Though it didn't

rain most of the week it was overcast most

of the time and looked like it could rain 

anytime soon. That is how it works here

in Western Washington. The major reason

it feels we get more rain than we actually

do. Don't tell anyone please. lol

Today we are expecting some sun as well.

How long it will last I don't know. I hope

all day as rain is expected back on Sunday.

It is important to keep a level head since

we do have so many cloudy days besides

the rain. 

Have yourself a wonderful weekend. We

have the holiday season to look forward too.

Amen!

Making Changes In Our Lives

Whether it is changing our diet like
I am because of my heart and weight
it is important to change our lives.

The older we get changes have to

occur whether it is diet or exercise.

I am amazed by some who don't 

do the changes.

There are other changes that may

happen as well. We should have

a healthy mind well as body.

Next Tuesday I will find out 

whether I have to get a fibulator

installed to help my heart out

or not. I may need to do further

changes or continue on the path

I am on right now.

The thing is our lives can be

as exciting in our older years

as our younger years depending

how we take care of ourselves. Amen!

Meditation is Popular

These days meditation is popular. I
ask who are many people meditating
to. A god they don't know or a god
in their mind.

As a Christian we can not only pray

but we can meditate on the things of

God. We can wait for hearing God's

voice as well.  I am not sure whether

that is part of pray or meditating.

Actually thinking further we can hear

God in our prayers and when we are

waiting to hear from God. He is actually

always with us so we should hear from

God right away if we are willing to listen.

Anyway a few tips for all of us to think

about for sure.

Again I want to thank you for viewing

my blog. You have anything you like

to share check in and write in the comments.

I am sure others would like to know as 

well as me. Also you can pass on to 

others you know. 

Not only do I want to share what is going

on I want you to learn while I am learning

at the same time. We all have a story to

tell whether a lot of words or only a few.

Amen!

Flooding In Washington

Right now we are having a break from
rain here in Western Washington. So
far this month we have almost eight
inches of rain here in my town of Gig
Harbor. That is more rain than we have
had since 2017 in November.

We are actually three inches from our

average rain fall for the year. We should

be able to go above that for sure.

Another thing we have a lot of wind as

well. The only thing making it ok to go

out walking when the rain isn't happening

the temperatures have been high. Now

though with sun the temperatures dip down

into the 30s at night.

Though we haven't had flooding in my

area it has been north near the Canadian

border. In fact it would be hard to cross

the border into British Columbia in some

spots. There has been flooding on the 

Canadian side of the border as well.

I saw a video from one of our local tv

stations; it was amazing to see the flooding.

One showed all water outside someone's

home and another where you couldn't see

the road as well. They obviously had more 

rain than we did. 

Please pray for the people of Western 

Washington who are going through the

flooding as well as other places around

the world. Amen!

Looking At Promotion

Those of us in Washington State this week
we saw the firing of Washington Huskies
Head Coach Jimmy Lake after being
suspended a game for shoving a player
against the Oregon Ducks. This was a
few days after the offensive coordinator
John Donovan was fired for a lack of
offense in the Oregon game as well.

In the sports world firings happen because

of what we would call have we done lately.

I am sure in other things like sales the same

thing happens with less fanfare.

In God's world he is looking to promote us.

God looks at the long picture. He is looking

at those who are willing to do his work.

God gives us each gifts and talents. When

we do well at those he will add more gifts

and talents. God will take away from those

who are not doing anything with their gifts

and talents.

So if you are promoted in the world then

God sees what you doing to. If you are 

fired from a job for whatever reason God

will find a way to promote you in the world

as well. 

Our life purpose doesn't change but how

we are working in it may change. May peace

be with you and what God has for you come

to pass. Amen!

Exciting About People

I get excited to meet new people and
minister to them when possible. Those
who are not aware of God's purpose in
their lives when sharing with them what
I feel I know about them is exciting too.

On Sunday morning at church I met a

couple Rob and Barb. He asked me 

where I hang out. I told him about my

favorite coffee shop. He said that where

we are familiar with each other. I found

to he graduated from the high school

my mother taught at. 

This is like the third person I met in 

the last month or so who knew who

my mother. Also, he knows a classmate

 I went to school with and his mother

taught with mine. Also, my classmate 

taught with his wife as well.

Rob went off and talked with someone

else he knew at church. So I asked his

wife Barb if  she graduated from the same

school as Rob. She said no she graduated

from Lynden. She asked if I was familiar

with Lynden up at the Canadian border.

I said I was. My mother was from Canada

and we often when up to British Columbia

as kids to visit cousins in Vancouver 

although we went the Blaine border most

of the time. Lynden I remember mostly

because of the cemetery on the road to

Canada.

It certainly shows sometimes a small

world we live and we meet people who

know other people we know. Amen!
