To and Be Loved

The greatest gift is to love and be loved.

Tuesday  we celebrate  Valentine's Day. 

Letting  those we know that they are

loved by us.

God is the one who loves us more than

anyone.  Whether we are sure that we

are loved or not he does.

Enjoy yourValentine's. You are special 

and you were created for this time.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

One Step

Hello  Sunday. It is important  to  take 

one step at a time on the right path.

It is so easy  to  get off  of the path

and go another  direction.  Our flesh

sometimes wants to do that.

We have to remember  our purpose 

and fight every day to stay on the

right path even going one step in

front of the other. We don't want to 

lose our balance.  ❤️❤️❤️

Go Back

I am sure most of us think about a

trip we took a long time ago and 

would like to return. 

I took a trip when I  was  12 years 

old with my family across Canada 

and eastern United States for the 

whole summer. I  have been to a 

couple of them since.

You can actually  go back to early 

posts I wrote on this blog to read

my trip. I  certainly  like to visit 

some of those places again. Seeing 

all of them again is unlikely but I 

won't  rule it.

Have you thought  of  places you like

to see in the future that you have never

been to before. Make a list of your

five favorite places and make plans.

Go to each one in the next five years.

About Money

I think this is my first time speaking 

about money.  I  know some people 

are upset with their churches about

tithing.  Some drill it hard. Yes Jesus 

Christ talked about tithing and storing

money in the storehouse.

I  to know there are churches that talk

about tithing  a lot and I am glad that I 

don't  go to one of those churches. 

Tithing is between  you  and  God. 

There has been doctorine where you 

give more the more you receive. There

is a good possibility  that  may happen 

but it isn't for sure. They may even say

you have a lack of faith not doing so.

Though tithing  is  important  where you 

tithe is up to you. Most give to the church

they attend for where they are spiritually 

fed where I  know at least a few give to

missions as part of their tithe. Personally 

I believe  to missions is above the tithe 

but in the end is between  you and God.

Another area is saving. It is having more

money coming in then going out. Depending 

on your income not easy to  do but necessary.

God does not want us poor though there are

some who think that way to especially those

in ministry.  I  am  sure  we have all heard the

stories.

Extra income can come in numerous ways. The

stock market  or get a second job. Not one that

keeps  you away from  your family a lot. There

are ways to make money on line right from home.

Remember  the  love of money is the root of evil

not having it isn't.  ❤️❤️❤️

Are You Happy Or Sad

Those who are happy because your

are doing what is right and doing your 

life purpose.  Also, you are forgiving 

others for their trespasses and yours.

The Lord prayer is  a  good  one to

follow each day. Everyone who has

gone to church especially raised in

one knows the Lord's prayer.

Those who are sad is likely  not doing

their purpose  and not forgiving others. 

Today and what happen yesterday  and

all days past can be forgiven. 

It doesn't  mean  there are days we won't 

be sad. Circumstances  happen  like a loss

of a loved one. Going through grief is normal.

When you get up in the morning be thankful 

for the day. Ask God what you  can do besides

what your plans are for the day. Amen! ❤️❤️❤️

I am Ok You're Ok

I have mentioned  before  I  don’t 

remember  dreams very often. Last 

night I actually  remember  a little  

bit when I  woke up.

I was stabbed in the leg by a knife.

I  am  not sure what it really means.

It is important we all stay safe. Be

observant as often as we can. It

doesn't  mean we keep looking

around every  rock.

We must have the faith that God is

in charge and he is looking after our

safety. We all have guardian  Angels 

though we don't  see them or at least

don't  think so. Lol

Peace be with you today. ❤️❤️❤️

Words Are Powerful

Our lives or how we think of our lives

generally  by words other people and

some times ourselves  have said.

If you know friends  that speak negative 

a lot most likely  because people  have 

given them negative  words. The same

would be for those who are positive. 

Someone  could give you one word that

can change your life for good. We should

all speak positive  words to ohers. 

It is a good idea to  think and be silent

before speaking. This is especially true

if we are in an emotional situation. We

may never be able to take back negative 

or bad words. The only thing we can in those

situations  is to ask for forgiveness.

Oh yes have a smile behind the words you

say. The smile  will go a long ways. 😊😊😊

Good News

In recent  months I  have received 

words from people about my life

purpose.  Great about it all lines

up with my purpose. 

Sunday at church I received two

good words. They  oth defined 

my life purpose.  

The first one is being a town

crier one who speaks out about

the Kingdom of  God in my area.

The second one was about the

Native Americans which I have

been thinking about recently.

It is important for me to speak 

into the life of others. Whatever 

your life purpose is God knows

everything  about it. He let you

know whether  you are on the

right track or not. He can even 

add to your purpose. ❤️❤️❤️

How is February

Yes I know February has

only begun. I know me the month started with a cold.

Fortunately not as bad as

the last one and won't last

as long either.

The main thing we should be 

grateful we are still alive. Of

course if we are a Christian

than we have promise of 

a great time when this life

ends.

In the meantime we worship

God, accept his love and live

our life of purpose including

raising our children and help

with the grandchildren.

Blessings to you this day

and may your life be a

shining example to others.

Amen!

True Love

We have only one that loves us

more than anyone  and that is

God who created and gave us

purpose. 

We fail in love outside of God's 

love. The best effort  we have

is loving our family. We know 

by those we don't  know.

We must ask Jesus  Christ  who 

layer down his life for us to help

us do the same.

We are only human so our best

efforts  at times will fail. We must 

put every  effort to love others

as Christ  loves us. 

So while you are living your life

of purpose put love into action 

as Christ  did by laying down our

life. Otherwords love others by

putting  them first and have no

agenda. Amen!❤️❤️❤️

Being A Champion

We are called to be champions when

we were created. Among our life purpose.

I saw a teenage girl  in  the  gym where 

she was wearing a  shirt saying she

was a champion.  If this is what she 

believes she is in a good place. It is

important  to  be humble as well.

Someone I follow on social media is

ahiker and she shared about her life

and dealing with her mental  health.

I was proud of her to openly  share 

share life and getting her mental 

health in order.

Speaking  of  our mental  health  and

strong  holds that might be keeping 

us from all we can be for our purpose.

It is important  to  forgive  the person

or persons who have held us back.

Jesus  Christ  commanded us to forgive.

This doesn't mean that the other person's

are off the hook or you have to  have a

relationship  with  them now it means you

have released yourself. You now can be 

that person before the circumstances 

caused you to have strongholds against

you. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Groundhog Day

We have to see whether the groundhog

sees his shadow and whether we have

longer winter or not.

Today is my father's  birthday.  He would

be 107 years old. He has been gone for

30 years almost half my life. It is so

amazing to think that way. He is in my

memory every  single day.

I am sue those who have lost a parent or 

both feel the same way. Look forward to

the day I  see him and mom again. Also,

my older brother  as well. ❤️❤️❤️

Meeting Together

It is important  that we meet with 

friends on a regular basis.  I  know

some who meet daily  while others

on a weekly  basis. 

Some meet for coffee  or  tea and

some go out for a walk or run or do 

both walking and coffee.

It is healthy  to meet with others.

In the Bible in Proverbs 27:17 says

"iron  sharpens iron". This  means

you can challenge  one another

and become better people.

Meeting  together can be pure joy,

however, challenging in life can help

as well. We all have weaknesses and

having another person to  help us is

really good. Amen! ❤️❤️❤️
