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

 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.
