Blame Myself, not someone else.

Going through life, obstacles come upon us, bad luck and wrong choices we have to get through.
How many times have I made a wrong decision or in sports I made a error, I traveled,
passed or threw to the wrong person. Many times in my 30 yrs. of sports.
Now looking back, how many of those times I made the mistake. I blamed it on someone else?
Taking responsibility is hard to do.
We'll the answer to that is probably majority of the times through the years.
Yes there were times that is was someone else that assisted me in the mistakes or the errors.
Now how many times around the house I have, misplaced something, spilled or broke or
even burnt something while cooking and blamed it on my Wife or Son?
Now yes, there was definitely times that items were moved from the area I like it in.
And times I have tripped over something that was not picked up that should have been.
But if I would blow my top, and then put the blame on both of them for every time something went wrong, that would be my fault.
It is very easy to be able to put the blame on the other person.
It is tough for me, and every other human to admit or say, " It was my fault or I was wrong"
Any one of us can look back during our school years, and blame my teachers, or parents,
for not learning as much as I needed to, to make it in life.
Or I can look back and say, I could have studied more. I could have asked the teacher or Parents for more help.
Sometimes there are some cases I might have needed some extra help, that I did not receive,
but if I did not feel I understood everything. During my High School years I could have taken extra classes in the summer.
I could dwell in the past, but I am living now. My favorite line is "Tough live with it. "
Why would I want to blame someone else, for my physical condition I might not be pleased with. It is not the fast food's fault, my wife's or my mother's. I did not have to eat as much as
I did. And it would be up to me to exercise the extra weight off.
Overall, being a full grown man, I need to come out and just take the responsibility of all my faults, without blaming others for my short comings.

5 marks of a pure heart

Since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water (Hebrews 10:21-22). To the pure all things are pure (Titus 1:15).
I shall next show you the signs of a pure heart.
1) A sincere heart is a pure heart: ‘In whose spirit there is no guile’ (Psalm 32:2). There are four characters of a sincere-hearted Christian.
(a) A sincere heart serves God with the whole heart.
(b) A sincere heart is willing to come under a trial. ‘Search me, O God, and try me’ (Psalm 139: 23).
(c) a man of sincere heart dares not act in the least against his conscience.
(d) a sincere heart is a suspicious heart. The hypocrite suspects others and has charitable thoughts of himself. The sincere Christian has charitable thoughts of others and suspects himself.
2) A pure heart breathes after purity. A gracious soul is so in love with purity that he prizes a pure heart above all blessings.
(a) Above riches.
(b) Above gifts.
3) A pure heart abhors all sin. A man may forbear and forsake sin, yet not have a pure heart.
(a) He may forbear sin as one may hold his breath while he dives under water, and then take breath again.
(b) He may forbear sin for fear of the penalty.
(c) He may forbear sin out of a design. He has a plot in hand and his sin might spoil his plot.
4) Again, a man may forsake sin yet not have a pure heart. Sin may be forsaken upon wrong principles.
(a) From morality: moral arguments may suppress sin.
(b) From policy: a man may forsake sin, not

A thought of having Alzheimer’s ?

This might sound astounding, but it could be a interesting way to go.
Here's my thought, -
I had a Grandfather pass away with this disease.
And I was around to see his life continue to increase with this disease, from the beginning until his passing.
But studying this problem developed in his life,
I saw ones feel sorry for him.
Maybe ones in the Family or his friends, had a little
more trouble coping with this situation he was living in.
And watching him as the disease continued to take over his life,
in the late years he seemed happy still.
I'm sure at the beginning as this disease started developing he struggled,
while it increased until it was in full control of his life he was happy.
Every time I was around him he seemed happy.
In most cases of ones with this illness, they might become violent.
I'm thankful this was not his problem.
But my thought was even during this duration, he was oblivious to all negativism of the problems around him in this world.
This will take place, " this will be my goal to see this fulfilled."
That ones would have this peace in their lives, as it was in my Grandfather's life until the end.
Our troubles and problems of life that is upon us, our lives will have a chance to live in peace.with the power of a higher source.
I know this sounds like it is impossible, but with faith one day it will be possible. This will be the aspect of this world.

Learning from Mistakes

Mistakes can and will create harmful wounds.
Mistakes are a part of being human. Appreciate your mistakes for what they are: precious life lessons that can only be learned the hard way. Unless it's a fatal mistake, which, at least, others can learn from.
Love will help all wounds of life. Healing deep wounds or cuts, cannot heal without treatment with an antidote and bandage.

Bandage= A strip of material such as gauze used to protect. Protection is an act of love and concern for others,
Love is like a antiseptic- ( (antiseptic, agent that kills or inhibits the growth) microorganisms on the surfaces of the body\ inhibits = to prohibit from doing something
And antiseptic is a antidote = A remedy or other agent used to neutralize or counteract the effects of a poison or infection.

Without antiseptic and a bandage open sores will bring on bacteria.
A key function of bacteria in the ecosystem is in decomposition of living matter. ecosystem = components of an environment of microorganisms.
microorganisms = A minute microorganism or germ can produce disease.

A person that will help someone that is hurt or wounded, has to have a heart of concern.
A concern shows someone that he has respect of his life and well being
for others.
In other words he is showing mercy for ones.
respect = the condition of being esteemed or honored
love = affectionate concern for the well-being of others: the love of one's neighbor.
mercy = a disposition to show kindness

And showing these actions upon others you are honoring other lives.
HONOR - High respect, as that shown for special merit; esteem:
Definition: That which rightfully attracts esteem, respect, or consideration

Virtually nothing comes out right the first time. Failures, repeated failures, are finger posts on the road to achievement. The only time you don't want to fail is the last time you try something.... One fails forward toward success.

When you make a mistake, don't look back at it long. Take the reason of the thing into your mind and then look forward. The greatest mistake you can make in life,
is to be continually fearing you will make one.
