Diversity

We are a diverse nation, bringing something different to the table. We have different backgrounds and abilities, which blend well together. We have other jobs so that we can help one another effectively. We all like different things which add to the spice of life. Variety is essential, so you don’t stagnate and keep learning and discovering new things.

Diverse Skills

By being a diverse nation, are skills are very different, and we can blend the skills to discover cures for diseases and keep the electronic age moving full steam ahead. Thank goodness we do not all like the same things. If we all thought alike, we would be doing the same thing and driving the same brand and color car. Life would be dull, and we would not advance or move forward with time.

Vast Variety Is Good

We have many items for sale in the World that can benefit many people. We plant many vegetables, flowers, trees, and more that supply food, shade, and protect animals. The different styles of architecture add beauty to the land. We have bred different colors and sizes of dogs and other animals that add to nature’s beauty. Animals are bred to produce more milk, eggs, lean meat, and more. The different breeds of dogs help with many various tasks.

A Diverse Nation Can Benefit The Masses

Diversity is what makes a country strong. We have had many different and exciting experiences by learning from people in other nations. All of us want the same basic necessitates out of life. We can bring different methods of learning valuable things if we collaborate and work together toward a common goal. We have other jobs, abilities, skills, values, personality traits, and attitudes that, when blended, accomplish so much to improve the World. Be glad that we are a diverse nation that can benefit the masses.

If You Think You Won't Succeed In Life You Probably Won't

If You Think You Won’t Succeed In Life You Probably Won’t

Success begins with your attitude toward life in general. If you don’t like yourself, others will not like you. You are very wrong if you think it is easy to advance in life; it takes a lot of blood, sweat, and tears to make it to the top of your A-game. Life is full of ups and downs; sometimes, there seem to be more downs than ups. Remember, there will be blue skies ahead.

Listen To Sound Advice

Success becomes more manageable when you have people cheering you on in life. Friends can motivate each other to achieve beyond their wildest dreams. Ask people for advice in life, and remember to take their advice. When you are bullheaded and won’t listen to positive advice, you will sink and not swim. A great achiever listens to sound advice and runs to the finish line with it.

Move On Quickly

Successful people move on quickly when something does not pan out, and they do not cry over spilled milk. When plan A fails, move on to plan B and never look back. A successful hobby can turn into a full-time business. Put your heart and soul into everything you set out to do.

Consistency

If you have a business that is not doing well, ask your friends for advice and help in turning things around positively. Think of things you might be doing that would turn people away. Keep consistent hours and have an inviting store that is well-lit and not overcrowded with merchandise for sale. Keep your store clean and play relaxing music that sets people at ease.

Keep Learning

If you have not finished college, you should before you get overburdened with other time-consuming things in your life. People with a college education make more money than those without a college education today. The computer age moves on quickly, and you will soon be left behind without that knowledge. Electronics have become obsolete in two years nowadays.

Keep A Positive Attitude And Stay Motivated

Keep a positive attitude, listen to sound advice, keep up with the times, stay motivated, and remember you are on the road to success. Never give up on yourself; remember, if you think you are beaten, you are.

Singing Praises To God And More

Post author By Laura Weers

No Comments on Singing Praises To God And More

We praise God to show him how much we love and adore him. God loves it when his flock sings joyful songs that praise his Holy name. Christmas is the time of year when many songs are sung that tell about the birth of Jesus. Songs tell a story in a way that people can easily remember the story that is being told. Christ the Savior is born at Christmas. Think of your life if Jesus had not been returned to a manager years ago. The World would not be like it is now, and our souls would be lost forever. Sing praises to God every day.

Songs can tell about actual life experiences. Loves songs tell of the great love that endures forever. Love songs also tell about heartache and pain when their marriage ends in divorce. Songs tell a story about bad experiences that people have had to endure.

We can take comfort in songs that remind us of days of old. I can remember the lyrics to most of the songs I heard on the radio or the record player and cassette tapes in the late 70s and 80s. Music awakens us and brings our memories back again.

Music can be very uplifting and stimulating. I listen to music while I am on my treadmill. I like to listen to fast-paced music while on the treadmill, as I want to keep up with the song’s rhythm. Music can relax a person and put them at ease, and some music can set your nerves on edge.

Next time you listen to a piece of music, try to listen to the story they want to tell you about themselves or someone or something in their life. Music unlocks some levels that may never have been said unless they were written in the music. Keep singing and telling stories that need to be said. Sing praises to God with Joy, Love, Hope, and Peace, and be grateful that God is always by your side.

Psalms

47:6 Sing Praises To God, sing praises: sing praises unto our King.

51:14-15 Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud with thy righteousness.

O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise.

Be Considerate To Other People

No Comments on Be Considerate To Other People

What I witnessed at the post office the other day was very inconsiderate to all concerned. A woman came in to mail a package and said she wanted to send it first class. The postmaster had it stamped and ready for her. She told him she decided on a second class instead. He removed the old postage and placed the new stamps on the package for her. She then had the nerve to say that she had decided on the third class. The postmaster removed the old postage once more for her. She turned around to see if people were waiting in line. She had held up ten people with her one package to mail. Kudos to the postmaster. He never once got mad at her. Her actions spoke volumes about her personality. She was very demanding and inconsiderate of the needs of others and the poor postmaster that went way beyond the call of duty.

Put yourself in the other person’s predicament. Think to yourself, this how would you want to be treated before you talk or react to a situation incorrectly? If you see someone struggling with a heavy package, help them carry it if you can. The word pops out of your mouth; it has been said and remembered for many years. If someone is driving slowly on the road, do not be rude and inconsiderate, as they may have car trouble or be hauling something that may break if they would go faster.

If someone comes into an event late, ask them why they were late before you overreact. You do not know how another person feels or what they have been through. Never tell someone I know how it is because you don’t see it. Be considerate to man and beast, and always be kind.

I am all grateful for all the kind and considerate people that have blessed me throughout the years. Count your many blessings in life, and always remember to thank God daily. Be thankful for what you have been blessed with, such as good friends, health, family, a house, and much more.

As we approach the holidays, I reflect on how I was blessed to have excellent and caring parents, friends, and family. I have been blessed with many wonderful pets in my lifetime. Pets are very loving and are a tremendous blessing indeed. Be considerate to your pets and always give them the best care possible. I am very thankful for all that I have been blessed to receive. You are blessed with God, family, and friends by your side every day. Thank your family, friends, and God in your prayers as you sit down and eat together this Holiday season—blessings to you and your pet family. Be considerate of the needs of others every day.

Life Adventure

Life Is A Continuous Adventure

2 Comments on Life Is A Continuous Adventure

Life keeps moving along and waits for no one. Make life an adventure you can grow from and learn and experience something new daily. Taking on the challenge and keep moving forward can be challenging. Life is what you make of it to some degree. If you always look at the glass half full, it will remain half full no matter what. You can make the glass complete and overflowing if you allow it.

Your Time on Earth is a Valuable Gift

View your time on Earth as a valuable gift. Help others see how their life has impacted others to achieve things they never thought they could. Be a cheerleader for people and thank them for everything they do daily that helps the lives of so many.

Be Adventurous

Adventures don’t just come to you. You have to set goals in your life and try your very best to get the goal accomplished in a time frame that works for you. If you want to further your education, find a college that works for you. You may want to take online classes as that will work better with your current job.

Embrace Your Illness and Still be Adventuresome

Health problems will slow you down on your goals and adventures. Seek adventures that will work with your current health problems. Getting to where you want to be may take longer, but you will get there. Remember to embrace your illness, so it does not empower you. Do tasks and adventures that are not taxing on your health.

Traveling is Relaxing

Travel can be very relaxing if you stay in the exact location for several days. I like to shop at different stores and eat the various foods the countries offer. I enjoy looking at the scenery and the architecture of the other buildings. I love to hear the tour guide talk about the country’s history and our travel area.

Never Miss Out on a New Adventure

Never miss out on a new adventure in life. Life is too short, so live life to its fullest potential. Discover and learn something new that you are blessed to be here on Earth daily. Be kind, caring, and compassionate to your fellow man. Get out there and enjoy the great outdoors and all it offers. Don’t wait for the perfect moment, for that time may never come. Go while you can, for time waits for no man.

Carrying The Basket

Some of us carry a heavy basket. If you see someone burdened with a heavy load, help them take it. We have no idea what kind of load a person has to carry on their shoulders daily. Some people seem to get by having the other person always carrying their basket for them, or are they? God notices if you try to sneak by not taking your basket. People often see minor flaws in others but do not see their significant weaknesses.

If one person in a group does all of the work all of the time, it is not fair to them. Everyone must put effort into accomplishing the job so much more can be achieved. Harry Truman said: it is incredible how much can get done if no one cares who gets the credit.

When working with others, ensure everyone has a job to work on to better the task at hand. We all have different talents, so let people put forth their best effort with their particular skills. Remember to always praise people for a job well done. Never criticize the work of anyone that has done the best that they can do.

Do not keep passing the basket down the line. An empty basket benefits no one. How do we carry the basket and pass it along to others? We have a common purpose or cause that others want to support. We want to help the less fortunate, the homeless, missions, our church, and anyone that needs support and understanding; carry the basket with as many people as possible, and many people will benefit from the love and support that has gone into that one basket filled with love and support from God and his good stewards.

Pardon Me

We beg your pardon if we have not heard a speaker and wish him to repeat what he has just said so we understand what he said initially. To say pardon me is a common courtesy when we have inconvenienced someone.

If we step before someone by mistake, we say pardon me. When someone pardon’s us, they forgive us for our offense. If we have been discourteous, we should say pardon me. We should be more courteous to the needs of others.

If a Judge pardons you, he has released you from your punishment or infraction of the law. Many prisoners have been granted a last-minute pardon over the years, saving their lives. Some prisoners have been awarded a full pardon that gives them back their initial rights.

We ask God to Pardon us when we ask him for forgiveness for a terrible transgression. All of us have sinned and fallen short of God’s glory. God forgives us for our sins as we forgive those who have sinned against us. We should learn from our sins of the past and never repeat them.

We should pardon people for their mistakes. All of us have made plenty of mistakes in our lifetime. We should admit our mistakes and learn from them. Do not make a mistake, and try to place the blame on someone else. Own your flaws and mistakes and try each day to improve.

If you inconvenience someone, make it up to them. Be courteous, kind, loving, caring, joyful compassionate toward your fellow man. Hold doors open for people. Spread God’s good works every day and bring sunshine into the lives of others. Put a smile on someone’s face today. Remember to say pardon me for your discourtesy or if you have inconvenienced someone. Try each day to be a better you.

Trust

Trust means that we have confidence in someone. Suppose we confide in someone; we trust them with private, personal, or financial information. Faith is not given quickly, as it takes time to win someone’s trust. If confidence is broken, the trust between the two parties is also broken. It takes a very long time to earn someone’s trust back.

To have faith in a person, we also trust that person. God believes that we will strive to do the right things in life. God has given us the ten commandments about how he wants us to live. As God’s children, we trust in God as he has always been by our side.

Hope is a form of trust. We hope for good health, weather, friends, and more. Without hope for a bright tomorrow, you are lost. We trust that the sun will appear in the morning and set at night. Our trust in God and his trust in us is a beautiful gift of love and hope that keeps us going and doing good things with our lives while we are on earth.

The old lyrics ” trust and obey for there’s no other way To be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.” To be happy in any relationship, there has to be trust. Without trust, you cannot form lifelong ties with someone. Blessed be the tie that binds is a Christian fellowship or shared belief. Trust is essential to a link between God and fellow Christians. United, we stood, and divided, we fell. Christians must unite for a common cause and worship and praise God together for all the blessings and great joys he has given to us. In God, we trust today and into eternity.

Why Envy People

We should be glad for people that have achieved their lifelong dream. We do not know what they have been through to get where they are today. We should never be resentful of another’s good fortune or achievement.

If you feel pain at seeing another’s good fortune or achievement, you are not happy for them. As good Christians, we should be satisfied with everyone’s good luck. Achievements do not just get handed to one on a silver platter. People work hard for their accomplishments.

Envy is destructive when you are not satisfied with your friend’s accomplishments. Jealousy is good if you long for something and work hard to earn the item you desire. Praise people for their achievements and do not resent them.

If you want another person’s possessions, think twice about that. Maybe their possessions have weighed them down and consumed their whole life. Owning something does not make you happy. Friends and family make you happy. Controls wear out and get sold.

If someone you know has a desirable attribute, consider how to become more like them and not resent them. Strive to be the kind of person that God wants you to be. Be helpful, kind, compassionate, caring, loving, peaceful, hopeful, joyful, faithful, and a good steward of God for every chance you give.

I am happy when I see someone achieve their lifelong dream. Reach for the stars in the heavens, as they will bring you to new heights. Share your good fortunes with others. Use your achievement to benefit humanity.

God is faithful, forgiving, and kind to all of humanity. God is overjoyed at all of our accomplishments and achievements in life. God wants his flock to do well on earth and share our achievements with others for the benefit of all. Do not be boastful. Give and never expect anything in return. Be gracious and thankful for all of the blessings in your life and pass them along to others.

The Man Who Worshiped Money So Much he left Everything Else Behind

The Man Who Worshiped Money So Much He Left Everything Else Behind

Post author By Laura Weers
Post date October 11, 2019
No Comments on The Man Who Worshiped Money So Much He Left Everything Else Behind

There was a man so obsessed with making money that he ignored that his family was falling apart. His children had many problems that an excellent, caring Father could have helped them with if he was only there for them. He was humble and did not put on Aires, but his money came before everything or anybody else.

He did not spend quality time with his wife or family. He walked by a man wanting food when he came out of a restaurant with a to-go box full of leftovers. He ignored the needs of his church family and what God wanted him to do with his life. He never traveled, and he never took time to relax. He hardly ever talked to people unless it was his financial adviser.

Time kept marching on, and he still made no changes. His children now had their children. He did not spend time with his Grandchildren. He was obsessed that he might not have enough money for a rest home in his old age. He worked and toiled away endlessly. One day his body gave out, and he finally turned to God for help. He began to see the errors of his ways. He realized he had ignored the cries of the needy, his family, friends, church family, and God.

He began to see what he had been missing out on in life. He was missing out on being loved and adored by his family. He had missed out on the beauty of nature and what God was calling upon him to do with his life that would help others.

The man who had worshiped money now worshiped God and family and friends. He now gave freely to the cries of the needy. He found out it is better to give than to receive. Money did not buy him happiness. It almost robbed him of everything essential in life.

It takes a disaster or a near-death experience to wake some people up to what is truly important in life. Life is meaningless without love from family, friends, and God. Money does not buy happiness or friends. Money can be the root of all evil if you worship it before you worship God. Do not let money consume or devour your life. Give freely to worthwhile charities and help as many people as possible while on earth. God bless a joyful giver.
