Being Stubborn

It came to my mind while being awake

about being stubborn.  It can be a tough

thing if you get angry  while being stubborn. 

If stubborn says to you that your being

stubborn  or you are a stubborn person. 

It could depend on the situation or what 

the belief is in.

Say someone  you don't  know very while

and you are chatting  online with them.

They are trying  to  get  something from

you and they say your stubborn or you

don't  trust them. It is hard to trust someone 

you have never met. In fact a lot of scams

happen  because  they try and succeed in

you trusting  them.

My answer to anyone  I may chat online I

will say when they try something on me

I am  being cautious or I am  not  interested. 

At that point  they may push harder or decide

you are not worth it. It has something to do

with dating or having a relationship they may

say don't you love me. I would say falling in

love immediately  happens rarely and a good

idea to stop right there.

The most important  thing is if you are being

stubborn do not be stressed about it. Not

good for your health. I hope this helps you

as you are going on your life  journey.  ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Life and Religion

Most of us have experienced religion 

and belong to a religious  organization. 

God loves  his church however sometimes 

people  don't  feel right being there. They

may feel  judged by others. Our purpose  

should  be where people  feel  loved and 

mercy.

Sometimes  people  need help which includes

tough love however  it should only after 

knowing  and trust after a while. 

Tough love is in the process of help. It is 

important  to  know who can handle tough

love. Some may be fragile  where tough

love can hurt more than help.

In the end God wants relationship with

people  as well as with one another. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Being Straight With Others

It is so important  no matter  who the person 

is and what kind of relationship  we have must

be honest  and  straightforward with them.

Those who  we mentor or asking  for help

especially  need to know our opinion  and

honesty.  If  they are going through  a rough

patch they really  need  to  know what we

think.

If we are in the position of help we should

listen  ourselves.  We have to be honest 

whether we are getting  better or not. 

We all go through  tough times  even if 

they are not as bad as those around us.

Having one friend to spend time with 

will make both of us stronger.  Amen!

❤️❤️❤️❤️

Overcoming Obstacles

Since we are not perfect we all have

obstacles  getting  in  the way to do

our purpose  as we like.

Maybe our past rises up on occasion. 

We might be looking  at  today thinking

I  have  enough issues myself  than 

helping others.  

Since I am  into lists write down the

obstacles  you feel  right now. You 

can add onto the list when they come

to your mind.

Our purpose  is to help others with the

gifts and talents God has given us. Others

we know or run into have their gifts and 

talents to help us.

A good  idea is to have someone or more

to spend time with. You can  help each 

other out.

May you have a blessed day and let the 

obstacles  go by the side. Amen! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

More Thankful

We live in a world now where there

is over 8 billion  people. I have no

idea how many are starving and 

don't  have  much but there a lot.

I have seen children in Africa in

photos where they don't know

where their next meal will come

from.

At the same time they look very

happy. I  am  not sure  whether  it

is the fact they are children  or

they are thankful  for what they 

have.

For some life is getting  better with

people  around  the world  giving

them a helping hand. Bringing in

food and helping with the water 

supply to bring in clean water.

Now we have to  find other areas

who are not fortunate as well. 

Even the areas of the world where

food in good supply there are people 

still starving.  

Having three good meals  a day does 

not guarantee  happiness. Wealth doesn’t 

guarantee  happiness either. Being thankful 

and helping  others may make everyone 

more happy.  

We live in a world  where  most everyone 

is busy. We must take our time to be with

others even in our busy times. Be thankful,

gratitude and loving. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Being Thankful For Small Things

On Thursday  here in the United States we

will be celebrating  Thanksgiving. It is a 

holiday  that happens  each year where

family and  friends get together  to be

thankful  for  all their blessings. 

It is easy to be thankful for the obvious 

things like family, friends and the home

we have. It is the little things we may 

forget at times to be thankful for.

So today be thankful for the small things.

Let God know we appreciate  them as

well. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Supporting One Another

When we are living this life it is so

important  to have people supporting 

one another.

Were  not here to live alone. At times

it is good  to  get away however spending 

too much alone time is not good. It 

might be the reason  so many people  deal

with mental  health problems.

This is why we need positive  support. 

Those who  will encourage us no matter 

what is going on in our lives. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Gorgeous Weekend

Hello  I  hope you are having a gorgeous 

weekend.  The last few days  it was sunny

though a little  cold too. Rain came back

Saturday  night. 

I know  there are places where it is already 

Monday so I  hope the weekend was good

and the week  starts out well. 

Saturday  morning  after the gym and driving

down the waterfront there where medium 

size boats that were racing. Actually  they

were crawling since there was no wind. 

Going out of the mouth of the harbor often 

there is no wind. 

Outside the harbor  there was no wind either.

I figured it was going to be a long race. I  hope

the wind did pickup so it would be a good 

race eventually.

It brought back memories when I  went racing

or just sailing with my dad. I  remember it was

not much fun as a teenager. Dad loved it so

he could find a way to win the race. I  suppose 

it was like a chess match. Dad always checked

to see the tides each day so when he went out

racing  he could take advantage over the other

racers. It must have worked  since he often won

though not all the time. 

Dad started sailing  around the age of sixteen. I know

he and his brother  built  their first boat at sixteen.

The only  thing  Dad loved more than sailing was his

family. I  was able to benefit  for that.

I will  pray that things go well  for  you  today. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Longer Holidays

It seems  each year the commercial start

of holidays begin earlier  each ttime. I

saw candy, party plates and costumes 

available at the beginning of  September. 

I  am sorry but October 1 is soon enough.

I have seen Christmas  trees up already.

Maybe this week  but last couple weeks 

seem to early.  Maybe the season isn't 

that long however commercial start of

it seems to soon. I  enjoy the spirit  of

Christmas  and  songs like Silent Night

you sing at church is great but the 

secular songs like We Wish You a Merry 

Christmas and many others I am fine

with the first or second week of December. 

It doesn't  sound we can stop it unless 

people  don't  buy early.  If you have

relatives and friends  who don't live

nearby I understand  buying for them.

Anyway  enjoy the spirit of  the holiday.

❤️❤️❤️❤️

High Value

We all high value whether we believe it  

or not.

Good parents  worry about their children 

if they are missing or gone for a moment.

I see people  have higher value  for their

pets than other people.  We get angry 

sometimes over the smallest thing even

it seems like a tall building.

On Wednesday  night at my church home

group we were discussing in Matthew 5

where Jesus  Christ  said  the  law says

an eye for an eye and I  say when someone 

hits you on one side turn the other side

as well. God has high standards because

he has high value  for  us.

I mentioned  wouldn't  it  be nice if we 

treated everyone  like the cute three 

year old children we see.

First of all we should treat ourselves 

as high value and others as well. Even

those we normally  would not. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Prayer

My thought this morning  is  prayer. 

God desires for us to prayer for

those who brings into our lives.

First of all for  our spouse and 

children  along with other family 

members. Also friends and those

we just met. 

Another group  would be someone

who may have honked their horn

while we driving whether justified 

or not. Other driving infractions 

as well.  We have no idea what

others are going through. God said

to pray for our enemies too. At that

moment that is who there are.

Pray for anyone  who comes to

your mind and pray for yourself 

to. Amen! 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️

Growing Together

The greatest  reward  is  when couples

grow together. Loving and raising a

family. The second  most important 

purpose in life next with relationship 

with God.

The saddest thing is many couples 

grow apart  from each other. The

love leaves primarily because of

selfishness  on one of the parties 

or both. Families are torn apart 

with  some never coming together 

again. Fortunately  some heal over

a period of time.

Let your love for each depart. Let it 

grow continually no matter  what 

differences come. Find new interests 

if the old ones are no longer working. 

❤️❤️❤️❤️

Looking For Someone

It is in our nature  to search for someone 

or something.  In the beginning  we have

our parents  plus our siblings if we have  

them.

We get a little  older we have cousins 

and friends who we end up finding.

Later on we seek  after our partner. 

Whether it is  friends or partner we 

sometimes find  the wrong ones.

In reality  we  are  searching  for  God.

The one who created  us and gave us

our purpose.  The trouble  is  we don't 

realize it for awhile.

We look for truth and wisdom as well. 

There will be those who will direct us

on the wrong path disguised as truth

and wisdom. Often it is disguised as

religion. 

When you find a true man or woman 

of God during your search  listen to 

them and they will lead you to Jesus 

Christ who is the truth and the life. 

Your search will be over for you will

find the one you were looking for.

❤️❤️❤️❤️
