It’s so hot outside! We can really feel the heat of summer season. I’m lucky that my workplace is fully air-conditioned and I don’t experience this terrible hot weather. However, I feel sad for my kids who are staying in the house right now. My son even complained that he cannot take a rest or nap in the afternoon because their room is located in the second floor and it’s too hot there. At the ground floor we have one room but it serves only as store room. It’s cooler and more comfortable in that room so I’m planning to rearrange the room so they could use it. But I still need to buy a new bed. Good thing, a friend told me where I could find cheap metal daybed frames and mattress. So on our next payday, we’ll visit the store and see if we could find and buy the bed that we need.

My cousin’s husband loves collecting plastic models. She said he adored building them and makes him happy and feel motivated. Building a model kit is a challenging activity to do, that gives a great feeling of satisfaction and excitement to a person once he accomplished it. And because of that, a person can become more inspired.

He is a television script writer and children’s book writer. Maybe his obsession has something to do with his type of job. Also I think building model cars, airplanes, ships, robots, etc. is his way to release tension and fatigue from writing.

For a writer, to be able to come up with a good story or script, he/she must be well motivated or inspired. And I think that explains why my cousin’s husband loves plastic models a lot.

This morning a friend called and asked if I would like to join her in her new found business and investment. It only requires small capital.

I admire my friend for her courage and wisdom in entering into any kind of business. She has invested in stock market, in gold and military coins, in putting up franchise business, etc. Some succeeded, some have failed but inspite of some failures still she remained positive and hopeful. Her determined character really pays because she has gone a long way. She already owned several properties and big savings.

I wish I can do the same. But I want to be successful not just for myself or for my family. I really would like to be a channel of blessing for others. To share the love and blessings God has poured out on me.

The word of God for me this morning inspires me more:

“When you spend your time loving me and others, you’re doing something that will last forever. When you love, you’re planting a tree in the soil of Heaven. That tree will bear fruit for all eternity.”
