Thank You For Being A Friend

“Perfume and incense bring joy to the heart, and the pleasantness of a friend springs from their heartfelt advice.” Proverbs 27:9, NIV

When I think about friendships, they been few and in-between for me. However, over the years God has sent some of the most wonderful, warm, and caring people into my life. We don’t talk every day, but when we do, we just pick up where we left off. All I can say with a smile is “thank you, God, you really know how to pick’em.” To those whom I am blessed to call friend, thank you for bringing out the best in me.

Today I would like to dedicate this podcast to Kimberly Mays and Janice Bradford. We have been group chatting for more than 5 years. It’s just a thing we do, checking on each other and sharing the ends and outs of life.

To those who have been a friend,

Here are some flowers just to say thank you for being a friend. I appreciate your kindness and caring ways. Thank you for taking the time to pray for and with me. And I can’t forget about the loads of laughs and smiles you bring to my day. You do my heart and mind good. And yes, your hugs, both in person and phone airwaves are the stuff of legends. Thank you for lifting my spirits, with a friendly reminder, to trust God who will make everything alright. Thank you for being a friend. I am grateful God sent you, my way. “Thank you, God, you really know how to pick’em.” Amen.

Remember friends, we are each other’s keeper and the only time we should be looking down on someone is when we are helping them up.

What a Time!

“Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from him.” Psalm 127:3 NIV

Can you guess what I will be writing about today?  You guessed it, my visit to see my beautiful daughter Cherelle.

The chatter, the eating, the laughing, more eating, more chatter, more laughter, lots of great music as we drive to multiple locations, like these cool record shops, retro clothing stores, HEB grocery store which happens to be her favorite place to shop. It’s a big grocery store. We went on her live, talking about life, music, and the things that hold us together. She took the time to encourage others to check me out on my channels and to by my books. Let’s not forget we walked the dogs, and watching her superman show, Smallville. It is actually pretty good.

Before dozing off at the end of a fun mother/daughter day, I reflect on the fact that I didn’t do everything right; I made mistakes along the way; there wasn’t any how to be a mommy books around. But I thank God that he was around keeping us safe. And when I look into your eyes, I see all those possibilities come alive, living in and through you. And then I think to myself, not bad momma, not bad at all.

The scripture today is a reminder that our children are a reward from God. Sometimes you might not think so with those terrible twos and rambunctious teenage years. And then one day you look up, and your baby is all grown up, spreading their wings as they make the world. As parents we give thanks for the gifts of our children.

I know what my daughter does for me. She lifts me up, encourages me,  and reminds me I can do anything I put my mind too. We are each others cheerleader. She makes me smile in my heart, and I am so proud of all of her accomplishments. We share how are day is going and talk about what’s going on in the world. Yes you’re a homebody for now, but it won’t always be that way. Your knight in shining armor will come your way. But in the meantime beautiful daughter stay focus on your goals. Continue to protect your peace and love your Kingdom (those are her pets. Two dogs and a cat).

I can’t wait for the next visit, let’s start things off right with Friday, Saturday, and then I head back home after our Sunday brunch. Love Momma.

Remember friends, we are each other’s keeper and the only time we should be looking down on someone is when we are helping them up.

Survivor

“Is not my word like fire, declares the Lord, and like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces.” Jeremiah 23:29 ESV

Many song writers and musical artist have given us songs that speak to soul when it comes to survival. It inspires us to push forward even when it seems like the odds are against us. Songs like, Don’t stop believing, I’m still standing,  eye of the tiger, optimistic, war, He will make a way somehow,  pray on it, more than a conqueror, victory, Keep on moving, keep on pushing, wake up, let go, Thank you God, It is literally so many songs out there of survival and encouragement it is impossible to name them all. But there is one that comes to mind, that broke barriers in the 70’s and is still inspiring today. This iconic song, I will survive by glory Gaynor, hit number one in 1979. And it’s still surviving today. There are also shows about survival, like Survivor and the Amazing Race. these are just a few of the many television shows that showcase people pushing through obstacles.

The scripture I shared today, asserts that God’s word is a powerful force, and no matter what we are tackling it’s no match for our King Jesus. God’s Word is that fire and like a hammer it shatters the hardest of hearts, He is the way maker and the burden bear. That’s it friends, put yourself and whatever it is in His hands.

Remember friends, we are each other’s keeper and the only time we should be looking down on someone is when we are helping them up.
