The Halfway

We are now  halfway of Holy Week. 

At least if you don't  count the weekend. 

A good  time to  reflect how the week 

has gone so far. It would be good

to spend time meditating and pray.

Meditating  on our lives during  this 

week and pray for the rest of the week. 

Pray for ourselves along with  our family 

and friends. Also, for those we don't 

know. Amen!❤❤❤💕💕💕

Jealousy Won't Get Us Anywhere

This being  Holy Week  makes me remember 

jealousy doesn’t  get us anywhere. 

Jealousy  by the religious leaders and people 

was the outcome of Jesus Christ  being hung 

on a cross  and dying.  The  purpose of Christ 

dying  was to forgive us all for  our sins and

a way to  heaven.

The religious  leaders didn't  like the way Jesus 

Christ  acted especially  calling  himself  God. 

They didn't  like he was spending  time  with  

" sinners." Jesus  would  heal people on the

Sabbath.  They felt  doing anything on the Sabbath 

even good  was wrong.  He didn't  fill the model 

of being  the Messiah at all.

We can go back to reading  other stories  in the 

Old Testament where lives were ruined by

jealously. In the New Testament Jesus  had a

parable  about the prodigal son. The older

brother was upset because the younger brother 

came home after squandering his inheritance 

and the father celebrated the  younger brother's 

return. The father's  response was why are you 

upset  because  this all belongs to you, however, 

your brother  has returned. We can see the older 

brother in the religious leaders and people.

Amen! ❤❤❤

Holy Week

This week is Holy Week in the Christian 

Faith. Many churches will have  additional 

services for Maundy Thursday,  Good 

Friday as well as Easter. 

A good time to invite a friend to church

or share your  faith and purpose.  The

importance is whether they are ready to 

hear or not. 

It is important  not to push your beliefs 

on someone who isn't ready to hear no 

matter how much you  care for them.

Often those closest to  you are the hardest 

to share.  Maybe  you  need to  drop a

word or two. Amen! 😊😊❤❤

Week Before Easter

This week  for many Christians it is

the most important  week  of the year.

Celebrating the resurrection of Jesus 

Christ.

For others Easter  is  the  only time

besides Christmas they go to church 

at all. There could  be those invited 

to church for the first time. 

There could be thousands whose

lives who could be changed forever. 

They could be awaken by the truth

of Jesus Christ.  The reason he died 

on the Cross  for the sins of the world. 

Whatever place someone is in this

coming week will  be  a joyous occasion.

Amen. ❤❤❤💯

Crazy Weather Continues

Here in Western Washington  we had 

unusual  weather  this past week and

it will continue coming up. 

We had hail and lots of rain in short

spurts.  This weekend  more rain with

possibility of  snow or hail.

Friday at noon I came out of a doctor's 

appointment  with a downpour then

five minutes later the sun appeared. 

Staying indoors  is a good idea  I think 

anyway.  Meeting  people and saying 

hello. Allow the life purpose  to  go

forward.  Amen. ❤❤

How Is Your Day

I hope everything going well

with everyone here.

I know we all go with struggles

overtime whether health or

family issues.

I believe it is a good thing we

pray for one another though

we don't know each other.

You know someone else who reads

here let them know you are praying

for them.

Have a good weekend and joy in

your heart. 😍😍😍

Negative Into Positive

It doesn't  happen  as often as in the 

past but on occasion I  have  to  fight 

off the negative. 

I  am  sure  most people  have to  deal 

with the same. Often it comes from our

past.

We can read poetry or listen to songs

where the writers  have gone through 

an emotional experience in their lives. 

It is a good way to release things.

I know this is good for me and I  hope 

it helps you or someone. Amen. 💕💕

Hearing Testimonies

Wednesday night  I will  be  going  to  a

 church home meeting. Usually we have

between 10 and 20 people coming. We

meet twice a month.

Recently we  started hearing  testimonies 

from different members of the group. The

testimony usually goes about 20 minutes. 

Hearing testimonies really raises faith and

hope. Also, to find out who the person was

and who you know they are now is exciting.

Knowing  these people  are  living their life

purpose to their best ability  is good to. If

you are in a group  it is good to hear some

testimonies. Amen! ❤❤❤

Unbelievable Stones

Monday afternoon  while going on

a walk hail stones happened. 

When I  started the walk the sun 

was out though the wind was 

blowing pretty good.

Rain came about the last third

of the walk. Hail happened the

last five  minutes.  Boy was it 

something. It actually  continued 

a little  bit longer after I got 

undercover. Rain came again

for several more minutes. 

Snoqualmie Pass where interstate  

90 goes west through  to east

Washington  has had snow in

recent days.

We could say spring  hasn't really 

happened here as of yet.  I  guess

this means we will have May flowers

as long the temperatures rise soon.

Never Give Up

We know as children others

often discourage us  with

unkind words. Usually they

other kids or can be family

members.

We live with these words

spoken to or over us. They

are curse words. Even many

years later we can still be

effected by them. 

First of all important to forgive

those who have damaged us

and to rebuke the curses. We

can live happier lives this way.

Amen!  

Encourage Even Sad Times

We always know there are times where
we hear about a loved one passing or
someone of a friend. We all have known
sorrow in one form or another.

It is so important for us to give sympathy,

hope  and encouragement when a friend

or someone we know loses a family

member. 

We have to remember people handle

grief in their own way as well. How

I handle grief doesn't apply to another.

All we can do is be there for them. Amen!

Hello Weekend

Doesn't  it feel  like the weekend comes

around really fast. It certainly  does to

me.

Maybe because  I  am  getting  older

or don't  have a job and do my writing. 

I have heard time does go by faster

the older you get.

Enjoy your weekend  once  again. As I 

have said we do need time to relax

including  our minds. Still a good time

to see people  and  be an influencer.

Remember  meeting  someone the first

time will give them an impression of us

whether  good  or  bad.

May your gifts and talents  be used today.

Until next time  blessings to you. ❤❤

Like About Spring

I like almost  everything about spring. 

It isn't April fools day  joke either.

I like the fact we will see  more of

the sun and the temperatures rising

as well. 

Seeing flowers  bloom and baseball 

season  happening. Though I  like

the other sports baseball is still my

favorite. It was the first sport I  began

with as a child. I  became  known as

the expert among friends and family 

about baseball.  My favorite  player 

was Willie May's though he was coming 

to the end of his career. One of the

first books I read was about Willie.

Anyway enjoy you spring unless you

live where it is fall. 😊😊❤❤
