Being Friendly

We are uniquely made so it means not
only we are one of a kind so are everyone
else.

This means we should respect each others

differences. Most people spend time with

those like them. There are others with 

similar looks and interests but still comes

down to we are unique.

We should be friendly to all. This includes

those who may consider us enemies or at

the very least are not friendly to us.

With kindness and a smile on our face

we maybe able to win a person over to

our side. We won't be able to for all,

however, we should give one hundred

percent effort. 

We all make mistakes as well so we 

should give each person the chance

to change as we hope others will do

for us as well. Amen!

Cooling Down

The last four days has certainly been a
heat wave. Nothing like it in my life
time.

The previous high was 93 degrees 

however it was shattered all four days

beginning on Friday about 103 then

going up to 113 on Monday. Now 

expected to be just under 93 Tuesday

then go down to more normal in the

80s.

I had never been in temperatures in

three digits before, however, it is 

nice to know I can survive though

I wouldn't want to stay there long.

I spent most of my time indoors.

Monday evening talking to someone

I could really feel the heat looking into

the sun then turned away could see

a difference of a few degrees.

It was quite interesting to find out on 

Monday morning on local television

a heat wave like this happens every

thousand years.  I hope they are right.

If not, do we blame it on global warming?

I will let others debate on global warming.

I would say it is not part of my life purpose.

We all have a purpose which is unique to

us. So what one person finds important may

not be the same for another. Amen!

Life =Purpose

Right at the top of our purpose is our life.
Life equals our purpose. I guess it is as
simple as that.

As a Christian we were created to worship,

praise, and pray to God. We each have

functions known as gifts and talents to

use as well to help out our fellow man.

A good part of prayer is to ask God what

does he have for me to do today beyond

prayer and worship. Ask God to bring 

someone into my life today to help them

as well as help me. 

When it comes to life purpose other 

people are here for us as well as we

are for them. 

You want to study of life purpose you

can do a search life purpose or looking

at life purpose. You will find multiple

sites besides this one. You have to be

careful though especially if you are 

looking at it through other than Christian

perspective.

I am not saying that sites that are not

Christian based can't help you but they

are in many cases looking at it through

other sources. This is especially true

if they are religious based. 

Have yourself a wonderful day using

your purpose. May at the end of the

day you can say well done. Amen!

Dealing With The Heat

When it comes to our lives I guess at
some point you have to deal with heat.
I thought I wouldn't have to in Western
Washington, however, this weekend it
is not the case.

For the first time we have temperatures

in double digits. We were asked to stay

indoors for the most part because of the

heat and drink water. 

I spent most of my time indoors going 

out once when it was at the highest point,

however, I wasn't out for very long. I

went to my favorite coffee shop which

has air conditioning. I don't have air

conditioning in my place though I do

have a fan which I turned on in the 

middle of the night. Also, I have the

sliding door open for few hours before

the temperatures start rising once again.

It is amazing to have to make adjustments

to our lives under trying circumstances.

Not only heat but for health as well. I 

hope people were careful, however, I 

am sure the hospitals had some people

who couldn't handle the heat and decided

to go out anyway. 

Tuesday the temperatures are supposed 

to decrease back down to normal for 

a time until next weekend when have

double digits happen again. Not as high

as Monday fortunately. 

I wonder if we will have temperatures

like this the rest of the summer or just

for these two weeks. Time will tell

we will see. I was hoping for a family

reunion on July 4th, however, not having

this year. This reunion would have been

mostly second cousins. I look forward

to the reunion next year instead.

I am sure we will all cope with the 

changes whether long or short. All

we must do. 

A Heat Wave

Over the next three days it is expected
to be very high temperatures here in
Western Washington.

In fact going to break records by a 

good margin. Saturday is expected

to be 103 degrees which is ten higher

then it has ever been here before.

On Sunday a little bit hotter then on

Monday it is expected to be 111 degrees

depending where you are at. Monday

it will break that day's record by twenty

degrees. 

This certainly be different for me that

is for sure. I have never been in this

kind of heat before. I will be spending

as much time indoors as possible.

It will bring thoughts of what life will

be like and be something to remember

for sure. 

Please pray for us all especially those

with health issues. I will try to find the

coolest spot I can for each day. 

Your Life Story

On Thursday afternoon came to my
mind it would be nice for anyone of
you who would like to write your
life purpose and when it came into
your life.

The impact life purpose made on

your life to you and to others as

well.

You decide to do so submit it in

the comment section. I am sure

I will enjoy it along with others.

Thanks.

All About Grace

Most of us have heard or sang the
song "Amazing Grace" at least once
in our lives.

What does grace mean. It means

being favored for what we don't

deserve.

You ask someone who may or 

may not be a Christian why they

deserve to go to heaven or when

you die and God ask you should

be allowed to enter heaven. The

answer you will be from many

who are not Christian or not sure

they are anyway will say "I am 

a good person.

This is what is amazing about

grace none of us is good enough.

You say wait a minute being good

isn't good enough to enter heaven.

Yes. Have you ever lied or told a

half truth anyway. This means 

you have sinned. You can't be a

sinner to enter heaven so God 

made a way for all of us to enter

heaven because we are all sinners.

This may sound harsh but it is 

the truth at the same time. So

he sent his son Jesus Christ down

to earth who was crucified on the

cross to pay for our sin. 

So this is the amazing grace what

Christ did on the cross. So if you

are asked by God why you should

enter heaven you tell him it by his

son Jesus Christ I get to come in.

This is the grace we don't deserve,

however, receive by believing. Amen!

Overcoming Odds

These days living a life of purpose is overcoming
odds. It is easy to be distracted by outside forces.

We are living in a world where life is so busy that

we can be distracted by other things that do not

apply to our life purpose. It isn't as those things

can be important or fun or exciting but they are

not what we were created for.

It is okay to spend time in other things outside

your life purpose but don't let them become

a major force instead. These days the media

has become a major area in which people spend

a lot of time and energy in. Personally I stay 

away from television media as much as I can.

In recent times I don't spend as much time in

social media either.  I primarily look at social

media I feel is part of my life purpose. Most

is in the area of travel. This gives me ideas 

where to go in the future and to know those

who are traveling at this time as well.

I am not saying to stay away from any form

of media because it is important to be informed

but not let it consume you. The media these

days can make it easy to do so. Amen!

Summer Excitement

Having last summer off where many of us
had to stay at home people are now excited
things are opening up in many places.

Some will travel internationally while 

others will see family they may not have

seen for some time.

We all the option or freedom to take

the vaccine or not. The problem though

you likely won't be able to travel out

side the USA or tested and quarantined

before being able to enjoy the travel.

I hope to see my sister and brother along

with family in August. The thought right

now is to go to my sister's; this depends

on going in and out of Canada. 

Now we can get back to as much normal

as we can. I hope you have been able to

do as much of your life purpose as possible

despite the pandemic. Enjoy your summer

and do the best you can. Amen!

Summer and All

It is hard to believe it is summer already.
Like we know time flies when your having
fun or getting older! lol

Hard to believe the year is almost half

over as well. The question is where does

the time go.

We are expecting here on Monday the

temperature to reach 91 degrees. Hard 

to believe until a few years ago we 

never had the temperatures get into 

the nineties at all.

I would prefer 81 degrees myself if

not 71 degrees. I am glad the sun is

out though I have to be careful too.

I try to find the shade after a bit

myself.

I hope  you all have a great summer

day unless you live where winter

just began and best for it as well.

Amen!

Circle of Friends

We all have friends whether close
or not. I call them circle of friends.
They can be family as well. In fact
some friends are closer than family.

Whether it is Sunday or Monday

thru Saturday we should take the

time whether short or long to pray

for them. Let God lead their lives

and be close to them along with

keeping them in good health. Amen!

It Does Take Determination

I am looking to change my diet and
lose some weight. I know it will take
some time, however, it will work in
the long run.

I took salt out of my diet for the most

part several years ago so I know this

is possible as well as long as I have

determination and have sense at the

same time.

Friday we had our family zoom meeting

and we could see my sister lost a lot of

weight from getting sick along with

having to go through surgery.  She is

determined to keep the weight off. Of

course, to do so she has to change her

diet as well. 

I am sure we can all do things we do

not realize we can as long as we have

determination and the will to do it.

Whatever you want to change in your

life I wish the best for you. I will pray

for you and ask you to do the same

for me. Amen!

What Day Is This?

We all know this Friday unless you 

live where the time is 24 hours ahead

of me. What I am mentioning is 

everyday seems to be a day that
is made up. I am not sure what today 

is and usually don't find out until later.

Often I will find out the next day 

when someone posts something like 

it is twins day or funny grandmother 

day something like that.

I figure if I did find out early enough

in the day and I fit into the category 

it would be a good way to use my 

life purpose. So  whatever today is 

or you make one up use for your life 

purpose. What do you think?
