Life is Tempory Part 1
Our Earthly existence is about how we lived and loved those whom God placed upon our pathway!
All we see here upon the earth is temporary!
Life is limited, and only a brief period, it is all about how you live it!
It does not matter what we have nor how we look to others here on earth because it is all about what we did in this lifetime!
It will all be gone in a flash once we leave this earthly existence!

Thank you - Kim!
Have you ever thought about the fact our bodies are just a vessel and have nothing to do with our identity, our soul, or really who we are as a person?
I was just thinking about it and thinking about how we ride places in a car or live in a house but when things break down in our car or house, we don't take that on as part of our identity or really even let it affect us as far as our personality or attitude toward other things in life.
Our bodies are much the same as our homes and cars, only we are in them all the time. When our bodies are sick, it is just the vessel that is sick, not my soul and when we have arthritis or other issues or can't walk nor see nor hear, it's just the body that's broken not our soul. When we die, it's just our body that dies.
Our soul moves on to another place, Heaven if we belong to the Lord. One day our body and soul will be completely separate because we will need the temporary vessel no more. I was just thinking about and praying for a friend of mine who is battling cancer and thinking how she's had some pretty tough days as far as pain and sickness in her body but how she has been so amazing through the grace of God about not letting it affect her spirit, and it got me to thinking about this: how separate our bodies are from our spirit and soul...from who we really are.
She hasn't let what is going on with her body affect who she is. We have to put up with their shortcomings while we're in them (just like a car) and we have to take care of them too (same as with a car), but I think if we can just grasp how separate they are from who we really are (they are just a vessel), maybe we wouldn't let them hold us back so much or interfere with the confidence and faith or even the work that our soul and spirit has. I know I'm probably weird, but that's what was on my mind.

** {Actually we are Spirit, Soul, and body! While the Spirit never dies, it is connected to God - our body dies, yet will be resurrected in the final judgment! Our Soul or "Will or decision-making abilities" is where we actually lived in this life (Good or Bad)!}
Will post more on this relationship in later Blogs!
> I greatly disagree with the " popular " term today as to " What's Trending? "
Because really - Who cares?
Being Popular does not make it right or good!
I was not sent here on earth to follow or make others happy!
A significant problem in the world today, especially with the modern fad generation within the massive public media system, is people who just follow without thinking! Anything and everything goes!
Why? Because many have made little use of their God-given intelligence nor do they fully understand why they have foolishly followed popular trends or people!
It is sad to only be a tag along in life!
Most of the people's lives are based upon who, what or where, or when they spent their time. While there is a need to use our God Given Intelligence and our moral compass in the pathway we chart in this life - it is still temporary and fleeting at best!
Who would want to be the best person in Hell?
When you reach the final Judgment - what will you reply to the question as to "whom did you follow?"
As for me, I follow the Lord God Almighty!
Not the temporary stuff of the trending world!
Amen!
