Question Of The Day: Horrible Spouse, Good Parent

If you're a good husband/wife, by default you should make a great parent. As with most things in life, the below tweet shows how some things in life make no sense.

How can someone be a horrible husband/wife, but make a great parent? Makes no sense.

Today's Thought

Post Of The Day

Dug this one out of the archives. It was from a good FB friend of mine, and she's on point. You can't call yourself a believer when you support what Satan stands for.

Christianity: Conversion or Leaving The Faith

I read an article about Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau converting to Islam from Christianity. The following tweet sums up my thoughts. I question the relationship one had with God if they left the faith. It leads me to believe they never had a true relationship with Christ from the start.

Whenever I read about Christians converting to Islam or leaving the faith altogether, my first reaction is they were never Christians to start. If you have a true relationship with Christ, you would never want to leave him.

Rejection

Rejection doesn't play favorites, anyone can get it. Sometimes, rejection can be a blessing because God may be protecting you from something down the line & other times, God could be redirecting you to something better.

Someone's inability to see your value is not your problem.

Something To Think About

Do As I Say, Not As I Do

Parents: Do as I say, not as I do holds no weight anymore. Kids see what you say and do and are going to mimic your every move. You have no right to get upset when your kids do exactly what you do. Be a better example.

Running Mouth=Flood

God says talking too much is foolish, so talking less is considered wise to him (Proverbs 29:11). Some people pride themselves on speaking their minds, which is good to a degree because you know where they stand. Some people better be glad I've mastered the art of selective speaking, because if I really said what I thought, people would be shocked and in trouble. You don't always have to say what's on your mind because sometimes, it can get you in trouble.

Contentment: Philippians 4:10-12

Phil 4:10 CEV—The Lord has made me very grateful that at last you have thought about me once… https://t.co/ThwKNo8T0C via @biblegateway

Philippians 4:10-12 deals with contentment. Contentment is another word for satisfaction. If I asked people about their contentment level, I would get different answers. Some people would be content at their current level, others would say they're constantly striving for better. I think for me, contentment would come after I've accomplished all God has for me because then there's nothing left for me to do. I've already done what God's called me to do, so what else do I have to prove? Nothing. At the same time, this verse is helping me learn contentment, whether I have little or much. 

What's On My Mind?

Scenario: You Can't Bless Everyone

Response: He was good enough to use to improve herself, but he's not good enough for a relationship. FYI, truckers make excellent money so I'm sure she wouldn't be hurting for money. Nothing wrong with wanting someone in her own class. What's wrong is that she used him for a come-up. He got her where she's at, so she should pay him back every dollar spent on her law school education. He was everything she needed at one point, and now she doesn't need him because she's "made it." This is a good example of why you can't help everyone because you subject yourself to being used, and I'm not for it.

Who's Next?

If someone fell out with another person, who’s to say they won’t fall out with you? It’s best not to make friends with people like this because you could be next.

Doing God's Will

God's Way

Pretty self-explanatory to me.

God has a way of fixing and healing what needs to be fixed. He hears the prayers of his children.

Prayer Changes Things: Steve Harvey

Not one lie was told. Prayer DEFINITELY changed many things for me. Sometimes, I don't want nothing from God but just to talk to him.

Don't forget to pray, don't be ashamed to pray, and don't be too proud to pray. Prayer changes things. I don't care how dark things look to you. I don't care what anyone has said to you. I don't care what the verdict is, I don't care what the haters say. Don't forget to pray. pic.twitter.com/3fja5gtxQW

You learn more when you notice, instead of speaking.

Say little, notice all.

Are Men A Dying Breed?

Not one lie was told with this post. I look at the state of manhood today, and manhood is not how it used to be when I was coming up.
