What Is Your Purpose In Life

You will find your life has many purposes for many people to be impacted by what you do with your life. Take care of what you do and pursue in life. What you do with your life will be seen by many and will affect many people. God has a given purpose for each one of us. If we do not listen and observe, we might not find the true purpose for our lives. God wants us to help spread the good news and be excellent stewards that see and recognize the needs of others. It would be best if you did not have to be paid to help older adults as it should be given to help them out of faith and humanity toward others. God allows all of us 24/7, and he asks for nothing in return except that we accept him as our Father in heaven. As a good steward, you help people in dire need or going through difficult times. If everyone has to be paid to be a good steward, we are genuinely in a bad state regarding our relationship with God and everyone in this World. We are doomed if we no longer reach out to others with Christian love and fellowship.

Your Occupation

Does your occupation genuinely help others, or are you in it just for the money? Money is the root of all evil as it will not keep you company or buy true friends. Money does not care about your well-being or comfort you in sickness and health. You are doomed to failure if money consumes your every waking loss. Remember, it is truly better to give than to receive. I hope your occupation helps enrich the lives of others. If you own a store, pretend you are a customer in your store now and then. You will probably make a few changes after you have put the shoe on the other foot. Be friendly and kind to all that enter your door and thank them when they leave your store. A store without a friendly and knowledgeable staff will be doomed to failure. Know all of your merchandise and stand behind what you sell. Teach others what you have learned, and do not l, et your skills or gifts be buried with you.

Finding Your True Purpose In Life May Take Awhile

It may take a near-death experience for you to find your true purpose in life. One grows closer to God when one goes through a near-death experience. You want to spread God’s good works more than ever. God has saved you from death so you may distribute the good results and let everyone know what God has done for you. You will become more vocal and kind, and it will be easy to talk to others when you know God is always by your side 24/7. Go out and live a purposeful life with God by your side.

Stay Anchored To Your Beliefs

No Comments on Stay Anchored To Your Beliefs

Stay True To Your Beliefs

Do not let someone sway you to do something that contradicts your beliefs. Stay with what works for you, and do not try to copy someone else’s methods or what works for them, as it will likely not be a proper fit for you. Continue with a job you like, and do not keep moving to other jobs constantly. You can move on to a career that stands for what you want to do in your life that will better you and help others.

Throw Out Your Anchor

Never let anyone try to take away what anchors you in your life. God, family, friends, neighbors, jobs, and pets should be positive anchors in your life. Never pull up your anchor without considering it, as your ship may drift away and sink deep onto the ocean floor. Your anchor is like your roots in life. The origins of the tree nourish it and refresh it day after day. Stay nourished and rejuvenated, and then you can help yourself and others you meet on life’s journey.

Your Home Can Be An Anchor In Your Life

We grow very attached to the home that we grew up in. Home is where the heart is. We are familiar with all the sounds that our homes make in the winter months with the temperature changes. We remember family gatherings over the years and happy times growing up. We can see our Grandparents, parents, and children as they were while living in the house. There is no place like home, as the home is a solid anchor.

God Is My Anchor

Without God as my anchor in life, I would drift away into uncharted waters that would be choppy and scary with every current move. God shows us love and mercy and carries us when we cannot walk alone. God has gotten me through every storm that I have encountered in my life. Gods give me an excellent outlook on life even when times are difficult. Make sure you stay anchored to God, and you will never drift into uncharted shark-infested waters. Some people will try to cut off your anchor in life. Stay clear from false prophets and people who promise you the moon, the wind, and the stars, as you know they cannot deliver on their trumped promises. God fulfills every one of his promises to you. Stay anchored, my friends.

Muck And Mire

Do You Find Yourself Stuck In The Mire?

Mire is like sinking sand in your life. If you keep trudging along in the mire, you will be trapped in quicksand up to your neck. You may even succumb to the sharp sand and be buried alive. Some people never seem to learn and keep trudging in the mire their entire lives. It would be best to clean yourself from the mud in your life. Clean up your attitude in life. Do things that nourish your soul. Become a respectable person in society.

Muck In your Life

Forget things that happened years ago that bring you down, and you will become much happier. If you do not let go of the past, the past tries to keep the muck stuck to your inner being. History should be like spilled milk as you clean it up and move on to better and worthwhile pursuits. Some of us seem to always step in the manure in the farm yard instead of watching our steps and changing direction in our life. We must never forget to forgive ourselves for all we have been embarrassed by and made mistakes. No one in this World is without sin. Ask God for forgiveness, and do not make the same mistake again. Pray to God for guidance in your life often.

People That Bring Muck Into Your Life

If someone puts you down all the time and never praises you for the good things you have done, get rid of them as they are muck in your life. Find people that are your cheerleaders, as they will encourage you and lead you onto a better, more fulfilled life. If you enable people to bring muck into your life, they will. If you have a muddy relationship, get out of it ASAP. If you do not respect yourself, other people will not respect you either. Pray to God for help removing all the muck in your life.

Mire Holding You Back

Sometimes we keep in the mire by trying to buck the wind and the weather as we have storms in our lives. When you have batteries in your life, forget about the storm and think about what you can learn from the storm. All of us will have illness or sickness in our lives. We must learn to embrace the disease and not let it empower us. Think of all the things you can do to help others with the time you are given on earth. Do not have a pity party. Pray to God for the path that is the right path for you to use with your illness to help others, and always remember there is always someone that is in worse shape than you are. Never give up the race in life, ev; even a turtle will eventually cross the finish line. An illness can be a great gift from God that will enrich your life considerably, along with the lives of others. Thank you, God, for my ongoing journey in life, for I still have much to learn and much to offer others.

Precious Gifts

Family And Friends

Family and friends are indeed precious gifts. Family is there for you through thick and thin. Family and friends are a cheerleader for one another. We respect and admire our family and friends. Our family and friends know our faults and good points, and they accept us for who we are. Family and friends try to uplift you in troubling times. Our families are an extension of ourselves. When everything falls apart, your family is there for you. Time spent with family and friends is enriching; they lift your soul or inner being. A life without family and friends would be the downfall of any man. We are meant to be around people who deeply love and care for us.

God

God gave us the gift of the Bible; if we abide by the teachings in the Bible, we will be kind, caring, loving, peaceful, hopeful, joyful, faithful, graceful, and compassionate. We have the gift of the ten commandments, which tells how to act and behave to live in harmony with God’s teachings. God wants us to love our fellow human beings as we love ourselves. We should help the oppressed, the poor, and anyone suffering. God gave us the gift of Jesus, his son, who died on the cross for our sins so that we can have everlasting life in heaven.

The Gift Of Time

God has given us the gift of life and time on Earth. We can accomplish much with our time on Earth. We don’t know how much time we will have on Earth. Our mission on Earth is to make the World a better place for us, having been here. We can try to keep our planet clean, help protect endangered species of animals and be good Samaritans to all who cross our path in life. Time is precious, so do not waste it on trivial matters. Time does not stand still for any man, so if you want to do something, do it today and do not put it off for another day or a better one, which may not present itself when someone gives you a gift of their time, that is the greatest gift they can provide, as they will never be able to recapture their time.

The Most Precious Gifts You Can Give Loved Ones

You can give your parents the gift of love and always care for and respect them. Unconditional love is the greatest gift you can ever give, as it makes us feel safe. Disagreements, stress, or dissatisfaction cannot shake unconditional love. Unconditional love does not leave when things get tough. You love someone despite their flaws, but you also love them because of their weaknesses. You will never regret the time spent with your parents and all of the fond memories and love you shared growing up in a home that was heaven on Earth. You never will regret the time spent with friends and family and your love and concern for each other. God has unconditional love for us. We love because he loved us. He gives us the ability to love others as he loves. Sing praises to God every day.

Choose Your Path In Life Carefully

Post author By Laura Weers

No Comments on Choose Your Path In Life Carefully

The Road To Destruction

If you follow others down the wrong path, your life will be in turmoil. Do not follow others just to be famous or liked by that group. The wrong group of people in your life will lead you down into a dark hole that you will find very hard to escape. If you go out with people who get into trouble and cause trouble for others, you will quickly become like them. Be who you are and stand up for who you are. Think about what God would think about the path you are on in your life.

Taking The Right Path

Sometimes the less traveled path will lead you very far in life. If you follow a herd of wild animals running full speed ahead, they will not see the edge of the path they are about to run over to their ruin. People with blazed trails ahead of you have not always blazed the right track. Some early pioneers tried to find a short path to their final destination without realizing all of the delays and the impending winter storms that would be coming. The short course was not short after all; all of them starved to death except for two. When traveling and lost, it is wise to ask for directions or a Star to take us to our destination. There is no need to waste valuable time and our life on the wrong path.

Plan For The Future Ahead Of Time

All of us are growing older with each passing day. We do not like to think about it, but it is wise to have a will and have your funeral prepaid. Think about your home and how it will be to live in once you are old. It won’t be good for you if all of your bedrooms and toilet are upstairs and you can no longer climb the steps. It would be best to add a bedroom and bathroom downstairs to your house. You should also have a ramp on your home if you have steps for easy access into and out of your home.

Surround Yourself With Like-Minded People

Surround yourself with people who make you feel secure and inspire you daily. Seek out people that you have a common interest with. Join a club that stands for what you believe in. Go to church, get to know your members, and visit and become friends with them. If you are a writer or a blogger, join that club, and you can be a cheerleader for each other.

God Has A Path For All Of Us

Ask God for guidance if you find yourself drifting off the right path. God will help you get back on the way that will help you and others the most. Proverbs 3: 5 – 6 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thine ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

Jumping To The Wrong Conclusions

Post author By Laura Weers
Post date January 4, 2021
No Comments on Jumping To The Wrong Conclusions

Make Sure You Have All Of The Facts

Make sure you have all of your facts straight before you conclude. Jumping to the wrong decision can gravely damage your reputation and the accused person. Being accused of something you did not do is devastating and demeaning. The guilty party will get off Scot-free when you accuse someone falsely.

The Wrong Place At The Wrong Time

If you happened to be walking by a store when it was just robbed, you might be accused of the crime because you were in the wrong place at the wrong time. If kids do something naughty in the classroom, the kids causing the ruckus will run off, leaving one kid behind to get punished unfairly. My older cats and the Christmas tree. My most senior cat knocked over the Christmas tree, thinking I would accuse the youngest cat, which I did initially. The oldest cat tried it again when I watched around the corner, and the jig was up this time. My youngest cat got extra cat treats that night.

Sentencing The Wrong Person To Prison

People have been sent to prison just because they resemble the perpetrator. If you look at someone in a police lineup, make sure you are 100 percent sure that he is the person who stole your money. No one would want to be in prison most of their life for a crime they did not commit. If you put the wrong person in prison, you have robbed him of what he has done with his life on earth.

Teachers Judging Students Unfairly

If a child has had a grave illness in kindergarten, the teacher should not laugh and make fun of the student. A horrible disease while trying to learn is complex for a young child. She jumped to the wrong conclusion, thinking this child almost dying was stupid. This teacher would laugh at the student whenever they did not know the answer to a question, and the rest of the class would join in. She made kindergarten a living hell for this student. She told this child to stay after school and clean the clock. The student told her she could not because she rode the school bus. The student told a friend to tell the bus driver to wait for her. The bus driver came into the classroom to get the student. The teacher told the bus driver that the student was so dumb they did not know they rode the bus. This teacher would make this student sit in the corner with a dunce hat on whenever it fit her fancy. This student, to this day, does not like people her age and sometimes has difficulty relating to other women. Never pick on a sick student or someone you think is easy prey, as they will have forever-lasting scars they will carry with them forever.

Never Be Unfair To Others

You have no idea what people have been through or are going through today to get to the point they are at in their lives. Sickness, pain, suffering, and all kinds of trials and tribulations come to all of us eventually. Do not jump to the wrong conclusions about anyone.

Life With Purpose

Your Job

Does your job fulfill your purpose in life? I hope your job helps others as well as yourself. If you go to work with a job that does not meet you and others, try to find another job that will. Some people work in the same position all their life, and there is no place for advancement. Do not work at a dead-end job that works you literally to death. Your job should make you feel good about yourself and help others.

God’s Purpose For Us

God has given us all unique talents and abilities to help us complete our purpose in life. Some of us help save other people’s lives. Some of us teach others the skills they will need in life. Some of us spread God’s good works often. When we help others and are compassionate for their plight, and bri, ng hope, joy, peace, and love into their lives, we are one of God’s good and caring shepherds. God has a purpose for us from each moment we are born into the world. We must be observant and not miss out on our true purpose in life with God. God is your compass and anchor in life. Follow God on your journey through life.

Family

Our families give us a sense of purpose. We love our families and want the very best for them. We want our children to have a better or easier life than we had. We want our children to have every opportunity that may be open for them to fulfill their dreams in life. We want our children to want nothing in life. Our family is an extension of us. Our heavenly FGod’sr dramatically loves us, our God’s children, and us.

Everything Has A Purpose

We have hammers for hammering nails down tight. And saws for sawing down trees or cutting lumber. We have cats for catching and killing mice. We have house cats because they are an excellent company and make wonderful pets. Rain helps things grow, and it adds to our water supply. There is nothing on earth that does not have a purpose. Some tools get used more than others, but we need them all to complete our tasks effectively and efficiently. Some people do more than others, but we need them all to achieve the mission. God gives us people with vast, diverse abilities to finish our callings from God. It takes a village to get the job done right. Thank you, God, for all the talented people you bring to life.

Helpful Hands

Helping Hands

All of us need helping hands in our lives. We may need help mowing our lawns or shoveling our snow. If we did not have to help hands, we would have long grass and weeds in our yards or our steps and sidewalks covered in snow. We are God’ss helping hands when we help those who can no longer help themselves due to health or other problems. Helping others gives one a wonderful feeling. If we were not God’s stewards, many weeds would be growing on our path in life.

Giving Hands

Give, and it will be given unto you – Luke 6 – 38. When you treat people right, they will generally treat you right. When you give to the less fortunate, you are helping a child of God. You may be on the receiving end of someone offering to you someday. When you give something to someone, think that what I am giving them represents God or how you want to be defined. Give others something that you like and not something cheap or worn out. Make sure your giving hands always represent the best in you. How you act and what you give others says volumes about your giving hands.

Faithful Hands

I hope everyone has faithful hands. When you lose faith, you have lost everything good in your life. Ask other people for support when you are struggling with your faith. Pray to God to help you get your confidence back. Without faith in your life, your task seems worthless. You must always think that the plane you are on will safely land and not crash, as that is faith. Keep your faith, as things will get better eventually.

Teaching Hands

Our parents teach us many things that will help and take us far. Everyone that teaches and enriches our lives is someone to be admired. We learn a great deal from books that have been written by someone’s hand. The hand of God is referred to as sitting on the right side of God and is a special honor. God is the most outstanding teacher. The Lord of Heaven’s armies is an excellent teacher who gives the farmer great wisdom. Isaiah 28: 29. Our teachers we have in our lives teach us many things that we will use in our daily living throughout our entire lives. We are never too old to learn as we have better time management skills, are more disciplined, and have technology on our side.

Joyful, Kind, Loving, Caring, and Hopeful Hands

Doctors and nurses help us while we are sick by caring for us and helping us feel like our old selves again. Food bank workers prepare food for those that are less fortunate with their hands. Spouses love each other and care deeply for each other well being. God loves all of his children deeply. Kind people help you when you feel downtrodden by listening to your concerns and helping you overcome hurdles safely. Be joyful in life and hopeful, and let your light shine in the storms of someone’s life so they can see the sunshine after the storm.

Transitions

Transitions Are The Continuous Process Of Change

We start living with our parents, attending school, and making friends. Our parents may have to relocate, and we must go to a new home, make new friends, and get used to our new surroundings. We continue to grow and learn and become more mature acting human beings. We know from others daily that we are alive on Earth, and hopefully, we will put our talents to good use.

Going To College

Leaving home for the first time is a big transition in any young person’s life. If you decide to live in the dorm, you will have to get used to living with a roommate or two. You will feel homesick until you start to make some friends in college. You will have to cook, clean up after yourself, and conduct yourself as a young adult. You will have to manage your time wisely, study for tests, and get your assignments in on time. Hopefully, you will have a fulfilling job that will take you far in life and help better the lives of others.

Getting Married

You have dated the love of your life for one year and decided to set the wedding date. Getting married is a big responsibility; you must learn to give and take to make your marriage work. You will get into arguments occasionally and have to agree on compromises.

Buying Your First Home

Do not spend more than what you can afford on a home. A big mortgage will drown you in debt for the rest of your life. You can find a reasonably priced and well-maintained older home as a suitable starter home. Older homes are constructed of much better materials, and most of them have beautiful woodwork compared to newer homes, and they have more character and charm about them.

Having A Baby

Before you have a baby, ensure you are financially sound, as raising a child into adulthood takes a lot of money. You should send your children to college if you want them to be successful and support themselves in life. Each parent should help raise a child and contribute equally to the child’s life.

Changing Jobs

The average person has 11.7 jobs in their lifetime. New jobs should offer a step up for advancement, or you might as well keep your old job. Relocating because of a new job can be very costly. You must think my spouse will also be able to get a job if we move. If you have children, you might not want to move until the end of the school year.

Going To Assisted Living

If you need help with things and do not think you can do what you want in your home, you may want to consider assisted living. You may have health problems or are not steady on your feet anymore. None of us ever want to leave our homes, but that time will come for all of us eventually.

God And Transitions

Life is full of transitions. Some of them are joyful, and others are painful. We let go of the familiar things in our energy and venture into the unknown. If you are going through a transition, ask God for help and praise and thank him, for God will amaze you with his presence in your life. We will have many changes in our lives, and God will help keep us on the right path that will help everyone the most.

Scriptures:

Deuteronomy 31: 6

Be strong and of good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them, for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee, he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

Philippians 4: 6 – 7

Be careful with nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your request be known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Joy

Hope, Joy, Peace And Love

Post author By Laura Weers

No Comments on Hope, Joy, Peace And Love

Hope

We all hope for good health for our family and us. We hope for a positive outcome when we get tested at the hospital. Hope is essential to our well-being, as we must be optimistic about the future. We need to harness hope that things will improve for us in times of trials and tribulations. How do you give someone hope? You can help them, stay connected, accept them, and help them find something that completes them and makes them feel good about themselves. We put our hope in God as he is our security. God is the anchor for our souls.

Joy

Going on a trip with a friend or family is a great joy. Being healthy and in a reasonable frame of mind is a great joy. Buying a first home brings joy as you have worked very hard to have your own home. Eating a piece of your favorite dessert positively alters your mind and body. Dark chocolate and milk chocolate bring joy to adults and children. Joy is a feeling of great pleasure and happiness. I like to relax in a hammock, read a book on a nice sunny day, and sway back and forth in the gentle breeze. We feel joy when we are at our favorite sporting event. The joy of the Lord is your strength.

Peace

All of us want peace and harmony in our lives. We want to be free of conflicts and the fear of violence from groups and people. God brings peace into our lives every day. We do not wish to war, as there is no peace at war with other nations. When we are at peace, we have harmony and tranquility and are not anxious about things. Relax and unwind and slow down to find peace in your life. To have peace with God and others, not seek revenge, obey God’s commandments, and help people grow their faith in God.

Love

Everyone wants to and needs to be loved by someone. We have God, friends, and family that love us. Love is a deep feeling of affection toward someone or something. Sometimes one will say I love pumpkin pie or I love to go on a vacation as these are some of their favorite life things. Love is a deep romantic attachment to someone you have grown close to. I love my cats as they bring happiness and joy into my life. Love of God is associated with worship and devotion toward God. Love bears all things, and love never ends. God so loved the world that he gave him only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him shall not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16 The basic meaning of love is more than liking someone. Love means you are deeply committed or connected to someone or something. Love is patient; love is kind; it does not envy; it does not boast; it is not proud. 1 Corinthians 13: 4 – 8
