Hello! How are you doing? Praying you are absolutely loving life, and if you are not, I can give you something to consider.
But first, did you accept my challenge in the last post, The Purpose of Life? If so, great job! I am so very proud of you!

Recently, I've discovered that there are four kinds of people in the world. In my experience, I always thought there were three kinds of people: person A, above average; person B, below average; and person C, the common. These categories referred to attitude, confidence, and understanding life and the self.
As I read Matthew Chapter 13 in the New Testament, Jesus teaches that, in the parable of the sower, there are, in fact, four kinds of people.
"When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.
But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;
Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.
He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.
But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty."
~Matthew 13:19-23, New Testament, Holy Bible, KJV
I want to be the kind of person who receives the seed, the word of God, in the good ground so that I may understand. God, Jesus Christ, and the scriptures teach us success in this life and the next.
Learning is the most important thing so that we may understand life. It is my never-ending goal to learn about God because God is life, and God is the reason for life. It's all for God, and I must know about Him so I know about life. Something to consider, wouldn't you agree?
Which person are you? Which person do you want to be?
It is my prayer that I help you with considerations and contemplation if you are having a hard time in life. I'm just a simple soul deepening my relationship with God because that is what life is all about.
Praying you find God's comfort, courage, peace, and strength.
That's all I got!
Adios for now!
I love you! Because that's who I am.
