Find your purpose and continue on that path

Red and yellow and brown and black and white. What color are you? How long did it take you to decide what color you would be? What were the reasons you decided on that color?
Are you satisfied today with your choice? If you are convinced you made a bad choice, what color would you choose?
Foolish questions? Of course they are. As far as I know, people have never had any part in deciding their race, nationality, sex or a number of other things. Why then do many take responsibility for the circumstances they found themselves in when they were born? Our God has given us life as a unique person with attributes to accomplish a certain purpose.
Our success depends upon our finding what God had in mind when he gave us life. Men and women of any color have lived their lives to accomplish God's purpose and have made these United States of America the envy of the rest of the world.
Men and woman of any color have lived and are living today who are trying to destroy this unusual and wonderful country. Which are you? Is your attitude to give or only to receive?
There are more than 3 million people in Iowa. There are more than 300 million people in the United States. There are more than 1.3 billion in China. We are living together!
