Heart of choice

 Life can be like a river water. Drinking from a high point of pure snow cap mountains from the Rockies or Sequoias.

I have had pure water from both rivers of those high elevations. In a glass or from clean hands, I expect a flavor or taste.

When drinking out of a plastic bottle or faucet usually you have a after taste. My life can be like water, having an attitude of heart towards others with pure emotions and feelings, or a selfish harsh attitude towards others. It always comes down to the thought “How do I desire to be treated from others? With my heart filled with the “fruits of the Spirit” or an attitude of revenge and hate will always come down to my own choice or decision. 

A heart seeking

Times life is like playing tic tac toe, if you are playing with someone who has played before, usually there will be no winner, it will always come down down to a tie. If you are playing any card game many time having luck is a key factor.

In our daily life no one is never promised an easy day or a complete successful one. Besides a job where you are on the the clock, most of the times in life will be lead by choice and personal responsibilities and decisions. 

Occasionally your thoughts will be directed with judgments by drawing conclusions without full comprehension.

A friend or an individual that you may have ability to call them friend, is when you take the time to let ones feel the thought “they really have a heart with desire to help and having a concern for me.”

A life with a heart filled with charity and concern towards people searching for something they may not be able to understand each individual has an ability of a higher source to help guide and be there for ones seeking. 

That is the time you may have a chance to find that individual you can reach your hand out to help lift them up and guide them to that higher source, beginning by the love of God being expressed towards them through hearts with desire to help.    

Purifying our daily walk.

When the power of love and charity takes control over the love of power, peace will follow. Reaching out to help instead of always pulling towards ourselves, a merciful heart has prevailed. Strengthening the heart by understanding other perspectives may assist for greater knowledge.

Development is like a garden pulling the weeds out of a heart that continues to grow deep inside, will take continual turning over the hardened ground on top to become fresh within. A mind built on love and forgiveness will help reap a greater life as a new seed is planted to develop and take care of.

Reaching out to others.

Life is based on chemistry with mathematical formulas as the foundation.

And in my way of processing life, searching for root sources is one way I find success and then peace of mind. Take for instance financial investing, the need to study through logic and foresight

with reason why and what some businesses are searching for and going to do.

Just like today this particular time on the calendar there are a few of us I know of our journey of life were created through desire from parents that had a longing to add to their family.

The life I live in my career if a Barber provides a service for families that desire a different look and feel better. Of course another key reason to work is due to other businesses waiting with their hand out preparing payment for the service and assistance they help provide the necessities for our daily needs here at home and work.

Having my wife, family and friends with strength from God for support and enjoy life to it’s fullness is a help.

Starting with feelings filled with emotions to share each day with others. To assist my wife, family and our business cliental will take time and effort to fulfill their needs and desires they are searching for.

Trials with success.

In recent years I have had several family and friends pass away. Each time memories come back to us when we were young or adulthood, from current or 4 generations together. Recollection of thoughts come back to us, “only if I would have spent more time with them.’ The outcome of each day we do know the outcome. 

Occasionally something like music or pictures will spark connection of times you had with individuals sharing together. In a busy life we live time slips by to make effort to stay in touch with these friends.

I have been playing team sports since I was 12. I have been on several teams during these years, some with the same for years and current times with individuals I have just met or played on the same team.

No matter if you are able to be with them weekly or ones do not live close by, With technology now staying in touch or starting a fresh network or channel to reconnect the ties, and continue writing new chapters with lives you have enjoyed or new you can start a new future with. 

Friendships can be as strong as you desire with effort. A quick testimony why this has been strong and this train of thought has been read on my prior posts. With my past times since I was 12 to now I have had difficulty with epilepsy that had me back at times and situations, but since 2002 we were finally able to over achieve prior obstacles with help of surgical procedures and medicine. 

If it was not for that connection and network of family and friends my life would have been really been more complicated and difficult, especially with transpiration all who were my shaufers think you . But between God and all who were and are with me life has continue to be prosperous. Many of you who are reading these words have been the ones who helped create this testimony. So my heart is always appreciative to all from these I grew up with, played sports or went to church or school with you all have been a part to help through this testimony. Of course having a personal nurse for a wife has been the only way my mind has been at peace and secure having my best supporter for 40 yrs. Love is strength. Hope this may have help support ones who are going through trials and difficulties.

What is the common denominator between sports, politics, food and religion. -Opinions - many times there may not be complete answers or conclusions. Preferring others ideas and study, may help create an ability for mutual viewpoints and thoughts. Being a friend does not need proof when it is from the heart. Several occasions there is educating when looking from other perspectives.
In my life searching the past, severance has taken place on past conclusions, and times irrelevant or simple subjects not worthy for friendships to have ceased.
Forgiveness, charity and mercy will
assist and help prevent bitterness and hate to interfere with close ties and connections with others.
Strength within family, friends and God through the heart is a necessity
In our lives today.

Different perspectives towards agreement

Many times does life seems to be like an optical illusion, and your mind is not able to completely comprehend?  Perspectives or personalities can can be difficult to understand. But depending on what direction you start at, may be the problem or set back.

Usually disagreements will be the major cause of division or separation of minds and  hearts between family and friends. But several circumstances individual’s own trajectory is the “only way” causing the mind not to seek additional assistance or information of thoughts to what I may have missed, or can learn from.

Other opinions may be educational with an open mind. If each has a common goal of direction to achieve a greater destination to reach, it may prevail to listen. 

Presentation of new ideas beginning with a neutral direction with the same thought to gain and increase for further improvement, becomes a co-equal search that is beneficial for success.    

Checking my heart first

Taste comes through different soils providing fruits and vegetables with flavor.
Temperature changes from night to day combined with fresh moisture, assist to create a bitter or sweet aroma  and smell.
Just as the soil needs to be raked and turned over to help weeds from developing, a heart filled with charity, forgiveness and mercy will help keep a soul and  mind clean and fresh to help and share with others.
Effort and desire will help a garden and friendships to grow and evolve with different ones we run across. 
After the food is ripe and ready to harvest is what brings joy to be with others.
Being outside in the sunshine will brighten up only the area of the world that is facing it at that moment. The brightest of the love of God from your heart and life towards others, can lighten up the darkness in ones walk through life at any time of the 24 hr day. If your inside or outside in all darkness lives filled with the “fruits of the spirit” will still penetrate hearts through your voice and pure feelings of love through your heart and mind. No matter where you are with individuals around you or distance away, words that are written or the sound of your voice within your heart, pure emotion will still be heard or felt and can be understood.

Pure and clean.

Life is like water it can be calm as it moves, or with a powerful force it purifies while it is flowing. 

It forms to whatever it is gushing into an open channel, as it flows it becomes overwhelming to what may be holding it back that is not strong enough, and goes over or around or through it. When poured into a glass or pitcher it forms to what is holding or supporting it.

water can be purified through the speed of the current down from a mountain top of frozen atmospheres as it melts or thaws out.

When water stays stagnant impurity’s set in and becomes polluted and impure. 

Attitude of heart mind soul and spirit will be a guided towards destruction or peace.

Water is not physically able to be killed with a weapon, but without movement it will become poisoned or polluted.

Without a pure heart with charity and love life will not develop to share, but will destruct lives when the heart is not genuine towards others. Authentic true emotions will create development and growth with others.

Achieving the goals in accord.

On the average most start the new year preparing to achieve new expectations, goals in search for new horizons.
Others may be planning to exchange vows for the first time for their future, ones may be renewing past commitments and dreams for feelings of stronger bonds together. The thought towards obligations and financial freedom will bring a uplifting excitement. A vision of remodeling or recreating a new look in the family’s dwelling place. “I wish we would have, why did we, now we will” is always in the minds. Other objectives updating the inside and outward appearance of ones living quarters.
Of course health is a priority and the key objective. It seems to be easier for others, but a strong commitment with desire and patience is the path to take. It may not be simple or easy but with determination and dedication with endurance to feel great and enthused to continue on.
After starting the road with consistency and thrill for victory to reach that plateau, strength will bring more enjoyment to continue on in life. Reestablishing the old for that new look of the home as additions that may take place, checking the lines of water and electrical increase is a need for safety purposes. With our lives the most important priorities is the balance of the heart and mind towards others with God leading the way. His power he can fulfill in ones lives can help surmount all hurdles and stumbling that may happen without any foreknowledge. A life being lead by the “fruits of the spirit” will be the greatest way to compete with all challenges before us. Reconciliations will be achieved through putting others first, you would be amazed how life feels when find that original enjoyment that was once there, by a heart that is mutually filled with lives with forgiveness, love charity and patience to lead the way in all lives. But to reach any or all destinations current and future in life having the right mind and heart for God and others first will be the greatest goal to accomplish and maintain.

Times in life towards our family and friends it may at times sounds we are speaking in many perspectives. Just as languages and dialects there is diversity. When reading a same book many words will be pronounced differently due to locations we are raised in.

When family and friends live to help and be there for others there will always be different ideas and perspectives even when working or seeking towards the same goals to achieve. 

Arguments, divisions and separations come about as respect is not considered  from different perspectives and ideas. Having a heart with and open mind additional education may come about.

God's real goal in the garden was to follow his will and direction. His desire for Adam to eat from the tree of life would bring about the heart of God to lead us. Living by the "fruits of the spirit"

is to strengthen hearts and lives to grow and develop close lives with others, harmony and peace will be the best way to have family and friends grow and develop greater relationships. 

Listening to bands and orchestras the are reading from the same sheet music to be unified.  Each instrument has has different sounds, shapes and sizes. Different materials created will and make horns or other instruments sound different. When instruments are all tuned in together the notes different quality of sound comes forth but in harmony. Playing any type of music each instrument while playing the same song, ones will have different parts to play. When a song is played in one accord is comes forth as it was created to be. Life is easier and enjoyable as lives search towards the same options of choice will lead towards close relationships. 

A little effort is all it takes.

From family to friends true emotions are felt through hugs and hand shakes. Many occasions goods thoughts and words delivered to ones from the heart is just as strong of a connection as standing right next to them. “Reach out and touch someone” was at a time technology was not as far along asa today. But now staying in touch can is easier to be there for ones, occasionally that is all it takes is good words from the heart to others may be all they need to feel supported and lifted up. 

Close Relationships

Loyalty has a deep and detailed definition.

Most have an individual who you desire or have a close connection to ones who may help maintain and help keep up parts in your house utilities or your vehicles. Several have individuals you have a bond or just a preference towards your personal care or health provider. I know places you live around food providers or other need’s locations you shop or eat at satisfies your household items or taste buds more than others.

Many times feelings towards sports teams has a past to present connection you may have grown up with, keeping up with the teams there may be a history with family or friends you watched the sport together with. Until the end of my Father’s life we still talked about the past to present sports teams we shared time watching together. 

As you live and enjoy faithful relationships with deep devotion with family and friends there are different emotions that you feel and have a closer bond with.

For years the teams I enjoy keeping up with and watching will have bad luck or just not a complete team to win, but I have still pulled for the teams due to history and past fullness of prior success.

With individuals you have spent your life or many hours with there has been a reason and desired the time shared.

As times moves on and time and maturity has increased usually knowledge will increase. Diversity of ideas and perspectives of thoughts change. But good history between ones never will change. Times friends have built homes next to each other using the same builder, with a piece of land divided between ones for a little space between each other.

Ones may desire the same floor plan but the external landscape or color views is different. Even on the inside usually the furniture and appliances will be different. No matter the visual differences the foundations of homes from the ground to the concrete supplier the builder used should be the same.

If original desires and direction between ones from long term beginning of friendships, only growth within hearts and minds should continue to develop towards a closer relationship.  

We are not able to become what we need to be, remaining who are and what we are. Having faith with humbleness and determination will help carry ones farther, with hope and willingness of mind. A life filled with charity and a heart of forgiveness love will provide strength and motivation to reach out and hold on to others you once were or are connected together with, helps create a stronger heart and soul for success. Goals to achieve and desires to fulfill wither it will be with God, family and friends guidance by the following the path through the “fruits of the spirit” will lead with a Godly spiritual power that will bind you to any other destination or plateau that will not be found through other resources without feeling the spirit and presence of God helping and leading you. Choice is a beginning, opportunity takes action, learning from prior mistakes of your own is a guide how to lead toward advancement having  greater possibilities ahead. Development and growth within only comes through choice and diversity with increase of understanding, though desire and longing with continual effort seeking with a Godly life with the power he provides and is given to us, leads to happiness with a realization and triumph over past setbacks and sufferings.     

Connection is important

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OapWdclVqEY

 There are many that you may be or have been close to and are not connected through social media. Starting a new year re-connecting with family and friends may be the best way to restart and develop new bonds instead of just recalling or having good memories with them. Creating relationships with new and old family and friends could be what will make a greater year to come.

Reconnections with care.

Have you ever seen a tree that has been struck by lightening? You may think it is dead and recovery will not happen, but with a little care it can be restored naturally with a little work.

Usually if the damaged and harmed limbs are trimmed back and not just cut off it will start a recovery process. Many trees with strong deep roots will come back to continue the growth from the outside impact.

Affected connections and bonds with family and friends can survive and maintain a development process to not be broken, destroyed or cut off. Close ties with short or long term relationships having deep and strong roots within each heart with effort can heal. Just like trees a little pruning and trimming with care, with ones through effort, forgiveness, mercy and charity will help reconcile and begin the process of disagreements and distractions can and will take place to become stronger than before. Preferring others first will always help keep strength within each individual. Many times different perspectives and trajectories can develop and broaden views with additional and continued understandings. After the limbs are taken care and disposed and moving them away from the tree is the normal routine to look kept up. In relationships would be accepting and releasing the past through forgiveness in hearts and minds is the start.

Change that takes place without our choice or opinions.

Over the weekend is 1 change that is a routine that is preformed with setting our clocks forward.

The time of the season or day of the calendar is not an option in households but a historical regimen or procedure by others. An outcome of a ball game or a development of a city you live in, is not in my control if I maintain my place residence. In these conclusions we may not enjoy or like the outcome but that is out of my hands from my decisions or desire. In many cases in my daily life events happen without foreknowledge or capability of happening’s that occur. But my life with options or choice in my daily cycle towards my health, management of funds and attitude of my heart how I treat others is all part of my life. How I determine or conclude to help or treat others is my own call what is in my heart and mind to live within my own choice. But choosing to live a life walking by the  ‘fruits of the spirit” or my attitude to judge or assist others, will be the best guide to follow and live a Godly life with love, peace and joy to enjoy with God, family and friends, or whosoever may come my way.   

Uplifting Efforts

Nostalgia- feelings and emotions towards good times
with individuals.
Many times we recall locations,
weather or foods our taste buds will usually be remembered first.
Memories usually become more enlightened as we are with people when we experienced times of pure feelings with enjoyment and strong emotions. And the effort each one provided as we were being served and the satisfaction of our hearts were being filled.
As a child growing up with family, friends and locations we were at, and the food we had usually are all recollected.
Was it really the ingredients in the food that pleased our taste buds or beauty of the places, or who we were experiencing the good times with?
As we really study we may think of the great scene of the sunset, but when I was on the west coast before each or the Hawaiian shores looking at the same sun and body of water were the same, just different times and location.
Now on those occasions we always desire to go back in that time, but in many occasions we may still have some around of the ones we enjoyed those memories with.
Others may have passed and no longer able to enjoy together, but reaching back at the same times can still bring great feelings. But do you first think of the times you may have tripped while walking , or the wrinkled clothes you were wearing out to dinner one time? Or do you look back at the times the clouds may have covered the sunshine for a time, or is it the ones you were with at that moment on a vacation.
The one thing we can retrieve, repeat and share are the feelings and effort from our hearts we gave towards these at the time we enjoyed it, and now express our emotions with others and the ones that are still around.
Like remembering a ball game you do not think of the scores, but who was on your team or watched the game with. And not the errors made in the game, but the success of the outcome while being with the ones you were and desired to be and share your time with.
Gaining strength within friends can be gained like exercising with resistant bands, the farther the ends are apart with a stronger grip, the muscles are continually building and being developed.

Times shared

Do you have memories of restaurants that you enjoyed while you were with family and friends?
Some of those restaurants have closed or in other
locations you no longer live by.
Reminiscing times in those restaurants with friends and the food you enjoyed.
As ones usually talk about those restaurants usually not about the walls that may need to be touched up with paint or the booths that may have a little tear in them, most of the time the discussion is about memories of the food displayed on their menu.
Everyone has their own favorite foods at all locations, many times it is common everyone has tastebuds that are totally different than others.
Majority of the times the restaurants you have appreciated may update or add to the menu, but the food is still favorable with the original choices that are still provided.
Memories of being with family and friends are always enjoyed when recalling the good times you shared together. Even with additional spices you may add to your own food may taste different to others, but the food was still created by the same recipe.

Lives that Shine

Solar eclipse will be caused by the moon passing between the earth and the sun preventing light on the earth. Times we may keep a darkness of good exciting prior events that will block a bright future ahead. Lunar eclipse can be like keeping a light of past  anger or harsh feelings in the present walk with others. Living in shadows of history with others will always cause a continual darkness that does not help growth and development between ones. Lives filled with hearts full of love, charity, mercy and forgiveness with bring a brighter and closer bond between ones. Creating new bonds and compounding closeness and desire with past connections while helping new stay together and become stronger. Longing for a greater walk with God, family and friends will take place as we put others first while keeping hearts full of love and charity and not vengeance and hate.  Beginning of relationships the desire to be a help ones by putting the other first, brings forth a longing for hearts filled by giving your all for the other.Great memories while keeping new and fresh bonds are best examples for the next generation to show how a to enjoy lives with others through lives filled with the “fruits of the spirit” is the best education expressing Godly lives. Feud from bitterness and anger will be just a harmful as a meteoroid clashing against the earth.

The Path we Choose.

A good relaxing time watching the sunset the most powerful natural source, Sitting next to my best friend and favorite personal nurse who takes care of me like no other. 

While looking at the sun set the only difference from the sunrise is the direction we are looking at it  A heart that is filled with love, charity and forgiveness is the only way to keep your life shining. A life looking towards the  brightness of a life filled with God’s love within us, is greater than looking back at the darkness and shadows of the past that had setbacks and stumbling blocks. The best about the past is the education we learn what a greater path that is in front of us as we look how to avoid future obstacles that we already made, and through with the “fruits of the Spirit” to guide us along rough times as we allow God guide us.

Gaining in Knowledge

Building on mutual agreements than destruction from contrary ideas and self philosophies will help continue development with a greater future growth with others.

Like riding a bike keeping your legs with a mutual momentum is best to keep your balance.

Trying to peddle using one leg will cause instability leading to falling to one side. While riding in a vertical form will help keep you from falling over. But when leaning more over to far to one side, gravity will assist and pull you towards that direction. From a beginning of a common connection with ones you call friends, building and developing on the same desires will create a greater bond and stability.

Differences in perspectives can easily lead towards greater education with well rounded understandings. Multiplying numbers with other numbers will increase to a larger number, when multiplying a number with zero will take you back to zero. Greater education is when you study with additional understanding with new information creates more knowledge with a broader view and aspect.
