Have Open Mind

We all need to use an open mind

to speak with other people no

matter how different  they are 

from us.

This doesn't  mean that  we have 

to be best friends  or even spend

a lot of time with them.

Most people  need someone  to 

talk too. This might  even getting

off something they have wanted

for some time.  

Our purpose  might be to help

others who are in need. They

are especially  the ones for us

to have an open mind. This is

true for anyone we may mentor.

An open mind will  help us to

figure out what their true need.

The important  thing is to love

others even those whose are

so much different  than  ours.

They may need to have someone 

to get them on the right track.

I hope this helps you out and is

a good encouragement. If you

ever have something  to  add 

don't  hesitate to write in the

comment section. Enjoy this

day.  ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Being Consistent

We know each day is different and

has it's  own  challenges.  The

question  is  how  will  we handle

each day.

The answer is being as consistent 

as we can in our actions and

behavior. 

Often it will take take to learn

from our mistakes to behave

consistently. It would be great 

to act good and have joy each

and everyday no natter what 

comes our way.

Say we were angry yesterday 

what can we do not to be

today in a similar situation.

It would be good to look at

others and see where consistently 

happens in their lives.

Let's  make today the best we can

and try to duplicate tomorrow no

matter  what it looks like. Amen!

Our World View

The definition of world view is 

how we see the world through

our eyes.

We see the world through our

religion or faith. What we think

of other people. It usually begins

with what we were taught by our 

parents.

The older we get our world view

may change though a part we were

taught is still in there.

We may view young and older 

people in a certain way. Our

culture can be influence too.

Example is we may have been

raised that only those who work

have the most value. So we may

not have high value for children

or the elderly since neither work.

The truth though and some cultures

have high value for family from 

children through their great grand-

parents.  The children are the next

generation to do great things or

give hope to the family. The older

generation we can learn from their

experience and being wise. 

We don't see the value of the family

unit we must change our world view.

We each have a purpose no matter

how old we are.

Seeing Old Friends Again

On Thursday having afternoon lunch

with school mates. Although I don't

see them often it is good to see those

that I grow up with. Has so much meaning 

for me.

I know not everyone wants to go back

to the past but it can be meaningful.

Even spending a few minutes catching 

up can make a difference. We don't

know how much time any of us have.

Our purpose should be to be with

as many people as possible. I am not

saying it is for everyone. I know some

people are not good for us however

spe ding a few minutes can change 

things. This is an encouragement

from me.  ♥♥♥♥

Speaking Up

We are living in a world where

evilis shown as good and good

is shown as evil. We can see the

mindset of many over the last 

20 years or longer. 

I know each person who comes 

on this site hss a purpose to 

speak up. In fact I believe many

are. 

We each have a place of influence.

Even those who are quiet even are

speaking even though they may not

realize it. My father was quiet however

when he did speak he had a lot to say

even in a few words.

I encourage you to continue what

you are doing even if the results 

don't seem right to you. Even those

to whom you speak are going to deaf 

ears. We all remember what our

parents told us even those things

we may have not seem to listen

at the time.

Your effort is being noticed by others.

You reach those who I don't. You have

a group of influence. Whether the group

is large or small does not matter. For

they have others they influence too.

Thank you so much.  ♥♥♥♥

Going Out

It is so important we go out.

Our purpose is to go out and

reach others.

There is more to it than that.

Going out is important for us 

as well.

Not only can we give out to 

others we can receive from

them too.

In the gospels Jesus sent out

his disciples in pairs.  You can

enjoy each other as well as

each sharing with other people.

When the weather is good go

to a park.  Sitting on a bench

if available than you can see

other people. There you maybe

drawn to someone to talk to.

After a little while you can get

up and walk around. You may

have something to say. 

When you get home you can

think what went well with your

experience and what can improve

the next time you go out.

When you go out spend a minute or

two talking to someone else. During

the little time you may realize what

the may want. In fact you can ask

them if there is anything you can

do for them. 

Going in a pair others may feel more

comfortable talking with two. Also

if you meet another pair than you

can speak even greater. The important

thing is to ask them what you can

do for them. Everyone likes to talk

about themselves. This way you can

fing out if you have something in

common as well.

I hope this good tip for the day.

May your purpose and life be

blessed today and those you

meet and see.   ♥♥♥♥

Dealing With Weather

Here in the Pacific Northwest of United 

States we are blessed to have four 

seasons  for the most part.

This year we are having a bit more 

rain than normal during the spring 

and the temperatures are lower

as well. 

The last six years we had summer 

like weather  in May. Now we are

having rain like we did in April.

Even when it isn't  raining it is

cloudy. I  find it a b.essing when

the sun comes out even  for a

few minutes. 

This weather  can affect  us both

physically as well as our mental 

health. For many still working to

get past covid-19  when we were

isolated.

The government wants to control 

our mental health.  It is important 

not to listen to them. It isn't just 

us adults but with the children too.

God says we will be judged how

we treat children.  The government 

is going to be judged for how they

treat our children. 

It is so important  we are not isolated

from others. Going to the gym or out

for coffee or inviting  others over is

so important.  To encourage  and lift

each other up. This isolated important 

for those who are more natural  to be

alone.  

In the past I  had trouble being  in large

group settings. I  am  not so much 

anymore. Those that do it is still  important 

for mental  health  to spend time with

others even in small groups. It doesn't 

even have to be anymore than six people 

in the group.

Here the weather  can cause to be isolated.

We even have suicides happening because 

of it.  I  belong in several  small groups as 

well as going to the  gym. The gym not only

helps in physical  being it does for the mental 

too.

Being in groups us to to use our gifts and

talents with other people as well.  It isn't 

like we can't  spend some down time by

ourselves  as well.  Both are important.

❤️❤️❤️❤️

God or Creator

I don't think those who consider

themselves an atheist is telling

the truth. They might be fooling 

themselves. 

God himself says in our heart we

know there is a creator. Living life 

with a purpose can only happen

truly believing in God. Those who

live as though there is no God

would find it hard to have a purpose. 

Without God your purpose would 

totally depend on yourself. You

can live that way however what

would come of your purpose.

I have lived a life of uncertainty

like others however knowing I

am here for a reason certainly

makes life a whole lot better.

It takes faith and belief to accomplish

what we can. 

This is all I want us all to think about 

at this time. Of course if you have

any questions ssk God.  ♥♥♥♥

What Should Always Be Included

When it comes to our life

and the purpose we have 

there should be at least

two ingredients included.

The two ingredients all 

times should be love and

encouragement. This 

would be even if we give

words that are tough for

others.

A third ingredient can be

hope. This is really necessary

when we are giving tough love.

May you be blessed today

even if you are going through

some tough times. Amen!

♥♥♥♥

What Do You Know

I know that what  you know is more

than you realize. Your life purpose 

is to share what you know. 

Yes not everyone  will except what

you say however that is ok. You 

have as much to say as everyone 

else does. 

The important  thing is to be careful 

what you think. When you wake up

inthe morning ask God what you

should say and the ones you should 

say to. 

When it comes to politics there are

those on the right and the left. Being

in the center is where you should be

or at least that is a good idea anyway. 

When you say something to another 

person be sure to  listen to what they

have to say even if you don't  agree

with them.  Politics  is  a good idea

to stay away from unless you know

your opinions very  well. 

If you are a follower of Jesus keep

your ears to God so what he has to

say you can pass on. The gifts God

has given to you be prepared to use

everyday even if the opportunity 

doesn't always come. Mostly  have

a smile on your face that says a lot

to people.  Amen!   ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Reflection

Here we are in the middle of May.

A good time to reflect on  the month.

What you have remaining  for May.

What plans you have for June.

Before coming down with my cold

I  had plans to  meet a gentleman 

from a church homegroup. I  have

had to put it off and hoping to still

meet this month. 

He has had failures in life where

he has rebounded. Be good to learn 

from him as well as giving him

encouragement.  I  have only known

him a few months so knowing him

better in a one on one basis besides 

in a group.  We plan to meet  for

coffee  or tea.

That is the great thing about our life 

purpose is gaining friendships besides

what we can do for others. In other

words it is a two way street. 

May you be blessed today and have

a wonderful  weekend  to.  ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Being Righteous

Many people when asked if they will

go to heaven when they die their 

response is yes. The follow up is

why do you think that you deserve

to go to heaven their response is

I am a good person.

God has a standard and not one of us

meets it.  We have to be righteous and

we each miss the mark.  What must we

do?  The reason Jesus Christ came 

and died on the cross was to pay for our 

sins. He had no sins however put all

our sins on himself. All we have to do

is believe and ask forgiveness.

Some may say that is simple and it is. 

Accepting and believing in Jesus Christ

made us righteous though we don't 

deserve it. This to makes us have a

purpose beyond what we can imagine.

He did this demonstrating how much

he loves us. Amen!    ♥♥♥♥

Going Forward

For the last week I have had a cold.

I do feel better today though still

not 100 percent  healthy. I  know

most people  get frustrated  as well 

when your health  isn't what is not 

normal. 

There are other things that can keep 

us down which I experienced some 

last year. As I  recover my thoughts

are to get back to my normal  health 

and see what is ahead of each just

like everyone  else.

I hope that your life is going exactly 

you want it. You are making a

difference  in so many other ones

lives. The reason  we are here in 

the first place right.

I wish if your  health  isn't  good

that God heals you quickly. May

his face shine upon you. Amen!

❤️❤️❤️❤️
