Sharing The Same Interest

It is nice to visit and be around people that share the same interest that you do. If you collect something, join a club of people with the same things you do. You can learn about the various items others have in the group. If a party in the group wants something that you have, you could exchange an item that interests you that they have. You will be able to learn how to repair the things that you have collected. I like to ask people about the history of where they purchased their collectibles. Some people have lovely family heirlooms they would never part with because their Great Great Grandfather owned the item until it was passed down to them. Card clubs are a good way for people to form a wonderful fellowship. While playing cards, they can visit each other and maybe discover that they like to travel, and eventually, travel together to a place they agree on. I belonged to a toy train club for about two years, and I got to look at some ancient toy trains that still could make it down the rails.

History Buffs

You could join a historical group in your hometown. You might want to become a member of your local museum. You could volunteer to be a tour guide at a museum and help them with fundraisers. You will meet people who enjoy history just as much as you do if you join any historical groups in your hometown or other towns that you want to promote and help out. I met many wonderful people at the historical museum in my hometown. All of us had a common goal we wanted to preserve history for future generations to come. We had people who were good at repairing and fixing old equipment so the young kids could see it working. We all put our talents to work to keep history alive for many years. My Grandmother belonged to a book club that read history books, and they would get together and discuss the book in great detail. Antique car clubs are lovely as they drive to car shows to show off their old antique car. Some people will meet at swap meets to find parts for their antique cars or old motorcycles. We have an old steam engine train that has been completely redone at our local park. Around Christmas time, they start it up, and it has that beautiful hum of an old steam engine. The save the Steam Engine club keeps growing yearly as we want to keep the old train running and humming for many years.

Fellowship In Church

Everyone in the church has a common goal: we all want to worship God as our Lord and Savior. Greeting and welcoming everyone that comes through the doors of our church is very important as we want to make them feel welcome in the house of the Lord. Before church, I visit and talk to people sitting next to me or walking by me to get to their church pew. Having coffee or eating after the service is also an excellent form of fellowship. Fellowship is essential for your mental well-being and overall happiness.

Take It To The Lord In Prayer

No Comments on Take It To The Lord In Prayer

Worry

Talk to the Lord about your worries and concerns. God will remove your fears and help you concentrate on the present if you let him into your life. If you have to take a test and have not studied for it, you better worry. God helps those who help themselves, and if you fail to look for the test at hand, you have failed yourself, and you cannot blame God that you did not pass your exam. We pray to the Lord to protect us from getting Co-Vid. We need to help God out and get our Co-Vid shots. After all, God gave us a brain to think with, and if we do not use our brain and get an image that will not protect us from our stupidity, that will kill us. God answers our prayers by giving us wise choices, and we should choose wisely so we will not have to worry. Worry robs us of what could have been a beautiful day. Do not worry and pray to God without ceasing and make wise choices in life every single day.

Prayers Do Get Answered

God answers prayers in his timeframe. God may not answer your prayer immediately as you may not be ready yet. You must understand what you are asking for in your prayers and accept God’s answer. Prayers that do not have good intentions will not get answered. Prayers should help people and uplift them. Prayers can be asked for healing and how to cope with challenging problems. God knows if your prayers are genuine or come from your heart. Never pray to objects or anything that is not God. When you are feeling down, sick, or depressed, pray to God to help lift you out of your despair and help you feel well again. God will answer all prayers for healing and the well-being of other people. Thank you, Lord, for answering our prayers and those that benefit others and help lift them.

Sickness

We pray for sick people to be healed by God’s healing grace. God does not want to see any of his children suffer. We pray that God will find the right Doctor for us that will understand and be knowledgeable about our illness and how to treat it, so we do not get worse—people who are sick need God’s healing prayersto to make a full recovery. The ill person also needs God to send the right people to be with her or as a cheerleader to give her the will to carry on. God had always sent the right people into my life when I needed them most. God knows what you need in your life, and I have put my life in God’s hands as he is my potter, and I am his clay. God, thank you for all your good work in my life. I want to help spread your good results into the lives of others I meet along life’s Hi-Way—God’s blessings to all.

Fall Out Of Favor

Something New

An old item in your home could fall out of favor when you bring its replacement into your home. If you buy a new TV with a large screen and much better resolution, the old TV will fall out of favor. You may keep it in case the new TV stops working, put it in the workshop, or toss it in the garbage. Computers fall out of favor quickly as the new ones can do more things faster. Cell phones fall out of turn about every two years anymore as the new ones are warp speed ahead and have better cameras and more storage space. Even your favorite old jacket falls out of favor when you find the perfect new one that gives more protection from the elements. A new one may replace an old house if it costs way too much to repair the old house.

Do Not Fall Out Of Favor With God

If you repeat the same sin repeatedly, you will fall out of favor with God. God forgives you for your sins if you genuinely repent. By repeating the same sin over and over, you have not genuinely repented from your sin. If you promise God something, keep your promise and promptly fulfill your commitment to God. Falling out of favor with God is an original sin. Eve was told not to eat the Apple from the tree and ate it anyway, so women suffer in childbirth today. Do not break Gods commandment’s as it is not called the ten suggestions. God is a loving and caring God but does not test God by being wrong as you know better. Praise God every day for the many blessings he has given you.

Sports And Players

If a player on a sports team starts performing poorly, he will fall out of favor quickly. If he listens to his coach and does what he wants him to do in the warmups and drills, he may regain his turn again. If a player tries to stand on his laurels and is not a team player, he will not be playing in the game as he will be sitting on the sidelines. If you disappoint your followers and teammates, you will be replaced by someone that wants to help the team win. The new man-up will have the team spirit, and he will not fall out of favor anytime soon. You cannot expect things to be handed to you on a silver platter as you have to work for them, benefit your team, and keep up the team spirit.

Try Not To Fall Out Of Favor With Anyone

You do not want to be avoided by people, detested, despised, disliked, or disfavored by all you know. Keep your promises to people and be kind, compassionate, and considerate of other people’s feelings. Always put your best foot forward and smile on someone’s face every day. The energy you put out is the energy that you will attract. Be a go-to person for people and support them in their endeavors. Do not put out negativity, as there is already enough of that in the world. Be yourself and do not put on Aires; you will not lose favor with people.

Inspire Others

Communicate With Others

If you cannot communicate with others, you will not be able to inspire them. Share joy, passion, and enthusiasm with those around you. Build quality relationships with those around you. Let people know that what they are doing does make a difference positively. Look at the World thoroughly; otherwise, negativity will take over. Tell people about what inspires you in life, and they may want to join you in your inspiration to help others. If you inspire others, they must see a positive change in you first. I was reticent until young and caring people surrounded me. I can now visit and talk to anyone with ease. Be enthusiastic about work and life and share a positive mental attitude even when the going gets tough.

Dedicate Your Life To Your Cause

If people see that you are genuinely dedicated to your cause, they will be dedicated to their cause. Try to overcome your obstacles in life; otherwise, your obstacles will hang around your neck like an albatross. The older we get, the more blocks we will have to overcome. We will become slower in our activities of daily living, but that is just part of life. I was talking to someone e another day, and she said she wanted volunteers who could work as hard as she could. She has to realize that most of the people trying to help her are retired. She told me she did not want them if they could not put in a full day of work; never tell older people they want to help but have health limitations. Everyone wants something meaningful to do as it makes them feel that they have more of a purpose in life. When she gets old, I wonder how she will react if someone tells her they want a workhorse and she cannot do it anymore. Treat people with compassion if you want to inspire them, and never tell them they are not fast enough anymore.

Inspirational People

My Mother and Father inspired me a great deal in my life. They taught me to have a good work ethic and to be kind and caring. My parents were loving and kind to other people. My Mother and Father would go the extra mile to help people. I try to help and reach out to people as much as possible. My Mother and Father were very supportive of my causes in life. Teachers inspire us, and friends, relatives, grandparents, parents, and strangers we have met along life’s Hi-Way. I love visiting with older people, and my parents did, also.

God Inspires Me

Jesus gave his life to save us from our sins in life. No man loves another man more than to lay down his life for them. God has blessed me in life, and I am very grateful. God inspires me to be better and stronger in life. God can heal you with his loving and caring hands. I want to help spread God’s good works to the best of my ability. Let God inspire you in your life every day.

All of Us Will Have Many Mountains To Climb In Life

All Of Us Will Have Many Mountains To Climb In Life

Post author By Laura Weers

No Comments on All Of Us Will Have Many Mountains To Climb In Life

Difficult Days

It will be extra complicated to make it to the top of the mountain on days when nothing seems to go right. You may have a surprise test in class today that you are unprepared for. You hope beyond all hope that it has something to do with what you have studied earlier in the year, only to discover that you have to write about each Chemistry experiment and why you think it turned out the way it did. I remember the experiments, and I got an A on that test. Even on difficult days, you may still reach the top of your mountain. All days will have some hiccups as nothing goes exactly according to plan. Do not stew or fret over things in life, making reaching the top of your mountain harder.

Car Breakdowns

Remember that anything mechanical will break down eventually. Car breakdowns always happen without fail at the worst times possible. The clutch on a vehicle I had gave out in the middle of traffic, and every one said to move it, and I said it would not move. Two men helped push it to a side street. I found a great garage that put a new clutch in it ASAP. I had one breakdown late on a Saturday afternoon, and one small garage in that town said they would stay open until my tow truck driver towed it in. It was a simple fix, and I gave him some extra money for going the extra mile for me. Help will come if you are patient and will be back on the road again.

Health Issues

God knows all your health issues and will be by your side 24/7. Remember, even with some of your health issues; you can still get to the top of your mountain. You may have to get to the top of your mountain in a different way than how you wished to, but you will make it. Always have a purpose and cause to help others and spread God’s good works whenever you can. Put a smile on someone’s face every day and remember that laughter, good friends, and caring and compassionate people are the best medicine.

Don’t Stop Until You Reach Your Mountain Summit

Stay focused on your goals and plans for your life. If one set of goals is impossible, find another one that is possible for you. God has a journey or path that he wants you to follow with your life. Stay focused on a plan that God will lead you to reach your mountain’s summit. Some of us never find our true mission until we are older and wiser and can tune into what God wants us to do. God will help me reach the summit of my mountain and what grandeur there be to behold as it will be beyond my imagination. God and my final conference comfort me all of the days of my life.

Sitting On The Sidelines In Life

Post author By Laura Weers

No Comments on Sitting On The Sidelines In Life

Get Involved In Life

Do not sit on the sidelines in life, as life waits for no man. Get involved in groups and carry on a conversation with people. Go on vacations and enjoy life to its fullest. You get out of life what you put into it. Apply yourself to everything you pursue in life to excel at it. Do not wait for a job to land in your lap, for that will never happen. It would be best to go after what you wanted in life and not stop until you reached the top of your A game. Talk with people that are successful in their lives, and you will learn a lot from them. Successful people are very good at communicating with people and getting others to help them reach their dreams. By talking to people, you learn more, and you can apply their strategies to your strategy and have a very successful business. Be involved in your church and visit with your church family. Pray to God without ceasing, as he will help you reach your dreams in life. God wants you to take a path in life that will help benefit others as well as yourself.

Sitting On The Sidelines

Some people are not in any groups, they sit on the sidelines, and life passes them. Some football players always sit on the sidelines and never get to play. Your skills will get rusty if you do not play the game long. If you do not use it, you lose it. How very true. Some people have taken all their college courses and then have done nothing with what they have learned. It is a waste when you do not use the talents that God has given to you. The flame will go out if you put your candle under a bushel basket. People who do not use their God-given talents have extinguished their flame in life. Please participate in as many activities as possible, as they will keep you young and vibrant. Once you sit on the sideline in life, it is hard to get off that bench. You regress in life if you do not use your skills every day. If you sit in a recliner day after day, you will eventually have a bad back and will not be able to get out of the recliner. Never sit on the sidelines, as it w, will be hard to get back into the swing of things again.

Try To Be An Outgoing Person

People like to be around people who are outgoing, vibrant, and full of life. People do not want to be around someone full of negativity as they seem to suck the positivity out of your life. Remember, we all have good and bad days. Remember the good and happy days, let the bad days be dead and gone, and never bring them back to life. Spread God’s good works, so others will know that he lives. God will help those that pray and that follow his example.

Orchestra Of Life

Life Is Like An Orchestra

We all have our jobs or duties to perform in life. If one person does not pull his weight, all others will be out of kilter. When one person misses a note or key in an orchestra, it can be heard by all and ruins the concert for a while. Some things in our lives our orchestrated for us. We go to school for a certain number of years and then are expected to find a job that will contribute to society. We must work together toward specific goals or values to have everything come together in perfect harmony. One person can indeed upset the apple cart if you let him. If everyone remembers to hit the right notes in his life, we can leave the world in a better place.

Find Your Right Instrument In Life

If you like what you are doing in life, you can contribute much to the people who depend on you. If you go to a job just because you think you have to, you will not be able to hit the right notes and ruin the concert of life for you and others. Make sure to touch people’s lives and leave a positive, uplifting impression on them, just like a lovely musical concert that is well orchestrated. If you are good at fixing things, pursue something in that line of work. Pursue something that will ignite a spark in you and others. Be the instrument in life that you think will play the best music.

Gods Orchestra

God has an Orchestra of followers. Jesus had the disciples that helped him spread his word. God had Mosses lead his chosen people out of Egypt. All of us can teach each other about God, follow him in worship, and praise him all our days. A United group with the same beliefs can benefit many people when they unite with a common goal. As followers of God in good standing, we can have a perfect Symphony that never seems to miss a single note. When many people contribute to help people that are down and out, many mouths can be fed, and people who have started to lose faith in a man can restore their confidence and trust in a man who helped the very poor. In his later years, he was worth millions. He would visit with people, and then, based on what they told him, he would send them anonymous gifts to help them out of the situation that they were in. He would put a note in the envelope with the money to pass it on when they could—one of the men sent a check and a message to become a college professor. The professor paid for several students to complete their doctorate degrees, and one student won a prize for what he discovered in medicine. I hope you will be one of God’ss disciples on earth and help the world play a symphony orchestrated to perfection that never misses a single note. The orchestra of life has perfect harmony when everyone works with God.

Faith

Faith In The Unknown

True faith is faith in the unknown. Faith knows when things go against you, they will eventually get better. We never know from day to day what may happen in our lives. It is easy to have faith when all is going well in your life. Faith knows when you are in darkness; the light will always prevail over the darkest days in your life with God. When we cannot see something in our lives, it is harder to have faith that it will be given. The older we get, the closer we get to understanding the true meaning of faith in our lives. I believe that God will provide me with shelter, food, and the necessary provisions in my life. I do not have to see God realize that he exists as I feel a connection with him in my daily life. When we plant a seed in the soil, we have faith that the seed will grow into a beautiful plant. We cannot see heaven but know it exists in our hearts and souls. When you are sick, God stays by your side 24 -7 to comfort and protect you. I have total faith in God and his plans for me to accomplish on Earth while I am here.

With Faith, All Things Are Possible

Faith is complete confidence in someone or something. We believe our friends will always be there when we need them most. Faith is belief in God or the doctrines of religion. Faith is not the belief that God will do what you want. Faith is the belief that God will do what is right. I believe that God will answer my prayers in his timeframe when I pray. We must have faith in ourselves and others that come into our lives. Some people do not have much faith in anything. They must remember if they have the ” faith of a mustard seed,” that will be enough. A faithless person gives up when the going gets rough, and the faithful person continues until the road is smooth again. People with severe health conditions that have a lot of faith are the ones that will overcome their adversities and learn to live with them and help other people with their health issues. God never gives up on us if we have faith in him. With God in your life, all things are possible. You must have faith in yourself before you can have faith in others. Never stop a project you love until you have used every avenue possible to achieve it. If you hit one roadblock in your life, have faith and keep moving forward; new doors and opportunities will awaken your faith even in the most challenging times because God has faith in you and will help lead you to the finish line. You will have a happy and rewarding life with God and your faith beside you.

Scriptures:

2 Corinthians 5 – 7 I will walk by faith even when I cannot see.

Hebrews 11: 1: Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.

Storms

We Feel On Edge As Storms Approach

We have a feeling of helplessness when storms approach. We may feel nervous or tired as a storm comes into our area. We cannot control the weather, so we pray that God will help us. I read an article one day about a man praying that God would help him as a flood approached his area. He prayed and prayed that God would save him. First, a man came and said I would help you leave your home, and he said no, God would save me. The water kept rising, and a man in a boat said he would rescue him, and again, he said no, God would save him. The flood was so bad by now that he was on top of the roof of his house, and a helicopter came along and told him to get it in, and again, he said no, God would save him. The flood swallowed him up in the water, and he drowned. He asked God why he didn’t keep him, and God told him that he had tried three times to keep him when the men came to help him. Remember, you must always use common sense, as God works to protect you from disaster or harm in many ways.

Have A Safety Plan If A Storm Approaches Your Area

Have a safe spot in your basement or a closet that you might be safe in if you do not have a basement. Have a food supply in your secure area, and tell others where you will be hiding if something lands on you, so they know where to look for you. Have a flashlight, cell phone, medicine, extra clothing, and something to cover you so you will not get hurt as badly by flying glass or other items. Have a chair, pillow, and blanket if you intend to sleep in your basement. Train your pets to come to the basement when you call them, as you will not have time to gather them.

Storms At Night Are Especially Scary

When you cannot see an approaching storm, it is scary indeed. I always try to listen to the wind and thunder and see if I can see lightning bolts. The air has a different smell when a tornado is in the vicinity. The stand can smell like fresh dirt worked up in the field. I also know the distinct sound of a tornado. It does sound like a freight train coming down the tracks full speed ahead. If I hear the train noise, I am in the basement ASAP. Listen to a radio or listen to the alerts on your cell phone.

A Tornado Did Hit Our Farm Once

My father was in the machine shed and got in the tractor with a cab. Luckily he had the shed doors open on both ends, or it would have sucked him out of the shed. I saw a chisel plow lifted up and down, and its wings were never 100 % tight afterward. Luckily, we had a few windows open in the house, or it could have taken one side out of the upstairs of our home. The tornado removed the open doors from the machine shed, caused tree and roof damage, and sucked in the sides of our old barn. We had it taken down after that. My Mother and I took cover under a heavy table. Pray to God without ceasing and have an excellent safety plan. God bless us and help us in nature’s storms in life.

Capturing A Moment In Time

Post author By Laura Weers

No Comments on Capturing A Moment In Time

A Picture Or A Precious Moment Captured

We take pictures on a trip to capture a particular moment’s scenery or experience. We may take photos of the beautiful meal if we eat a fine dinner. We may write about the trip we took and the sights we saw so we can tell others what to do and see if they take a trip to that area someday. We carry many babies and other pictures of our children as they grow. We want to remember how they looked at that particular age and what they were interested in at that time. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and I agree. We can take videos of people who are up to no good, and they stand up in a court of law to convict them of their crimes. Young people constantly post things on social media, and many have been convicted based on what they publish. Artists capture beautiful scenery on their canvas or portraits of people. When you write or do something, is that how you want people to view you as a person throughout eternity? For every action we do, there is a reaction, and let’s make sure it is a positive one that will please God and others.

God Captures All Of Our Moments 24/7

How do you want to present yourself to God every day? Will your actions be pleasing to God and others? I try my best every day to please God. I want my actions for the day to be positive, and I do not want to bring any negativity into the lives of others based on what I have done in my day. God watches what you do every day you live on earth. Do you want God to capture a good picture of your inner soul? Your answer should be yes. If you think something you want to do will hurt someone, get that feeling out of your head ASAP. Do not be a follow-the-leader type of person. Just because all of your friends or colleagues are doing something does not make a wrong right. If you know something is inherently evil, then it most definitely is. God is writing a journal about us constantly. How do we want his journal on what we have done and accomplished in our lives to be written? I hope mine would say I have helped and visited with many people and tried to bring a little more sunshine into their lives. We should pray to God without ceasing to guide us on the path that will be most useful to him and others. I try to be kind, compassionate, caring, loving, hopeful, peaceful, joyful, and considerate of other people’s feelings. I love animals and do my best to care for and protect them. Do your best in life, put your best foot forward, follow the Ten Commandments, and be one of God’s good shepherds to all you meet as you go through life’s daily travels or happenings. Be a humble and loving servant.
