Our Natural Person

We are familiar  with  our natural 

person with gifts and talents.

They are made up of our character,

personality and those things we are

good at.

Our weaknesses  with work  can 

become a gift or a talent.  Of

course it depends what it is.

For an example, I  wasn't  a good

reader until I  was 14. I was tutored

for three weeks where I  was on a 

level of a 17. It is possible I had the

talent all a long however because 

of where I  was at five years old.

I didn't  start talking until I  was  five

years old because  I  couldn't hear.

In part my ears had wax in them. 

There was more than that however 

I  don't  know what the remaining 

issue  was. 

I am not sure how  long  it  took me

to become good  at talking but I am 

sure not long. I  find  it  interesting 

I became a good writer before a

good reader. I am  not  the reason

for it. Maybe God  wanted me able 

write well before reading.

We all have some challenges in life

however our natural  gifts and talents 

do come out. They are not only for

our enjoyment  but for others too.

You figure people  enjoy watching

sports, theater, movies and music 

concerts. All those involved have

great talent to do so. More than 

most people.  It doesn't  mean  we

don't  have  talent  in  any of those 

areas they are at the top for sure.

Next time look at spiritual  gifts 

which are as important as the

natural ones if not more. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Two Types Of Purpose

There is two  parts of us so their is 

two purposes as well.  We are natural 

and spiritual so our purpose is made

up of both.

The thing is many people don't deal

with their spiritual side often if at all.

We have gifts both naturally and

spiritual.  Sometimes they  match as 

well.

Say you are naturally  a good speaker

naturally  than you likely have the gift

to speak into others lives spiritually 

as well.  Even if you are not good 

speaker naturally  you may spiritually 

have the gift. This is one example  of  

natural and spiritual gifts. 

There are natural  gifts  that can tie

in spiritual guts too. For instance if

you are a good cook then you should 

have the spiritual gift of hospitality. 

I am sure you have people  in your

homes a lot.

Take the time to look at your natural 

gifts and talents you may see how

they work  with  you  spiritually too. 

❤️❤️❤️❤️

Knowing Our Purpose

Did you  know  people  will find out their 

life purpose at different ages. I didn't know 

I  had a purpose  for my life until a few 

years ago.

Even before I  knew I  had  a  purpose I

was doing my purpose or at the least I 

was being trained.

Did you know your job is not only part

of your purpose  it is training for a greater

purpose.  Whether you are a lawyer, or a

doctor or a fireman which are all great 

professions there is  more to your purpose. 

People  are  more than those professions 

so whatever  you  are doing or have done

you are stretching the surface of your purpose. 

You can look back at other posts I have done

and others that will be coming.  I  am going to

be looking at the different areas of our purpose. 

I  am  sure  they may have been  mentioned before.

I  recommend you want to know  more you can

do searches on all these areas.  ❤️❤️❤️❤️

A New Week

A new week with new month coming

up it is important  to have a fresh

attitude.

Many of us will  be  busy  with the

holidays.  People will be shopping 

with some having joy however there 

can be those whose anger will come

forth because  of the crowds.

It is so important  we are not one of

those where anger spills over. We 

must continue the joy and encouragement 

to those around us.

I wish you the best as we head into 

December  and the end of the year.

May you have learned from the trials

of 2024. Merry Christmas and happy 

holidays. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

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.

❤️❤️❤️❤️
