Today's Thought: I Hate Tough Times

 

Nobody likes tough times, but we get stronger in the tough times as God exposes what’s inside of us that shouldn’t be there.

The 3 Categories Of Storms

 Storms are inevitable in life. No matter who you are, all of us fit into one of the above 3 categories of storms. No one goes through life storm free, and they're lying if they tell you otherwise.

Today’s Thought: Knowing The Least, Saying The Most

Repost by Andrea Williams (FB friend)

The people who know the least about you, always have the most to say. 

What they say is usually inaccurate, so let the jokers keep your name in their mouth. Those who know the real, know the lip wrestlers are all hot air. Think of it as free promotion: The more folks talk about you, the more famous you become. Eat it ⬆️ & keep moving, you’re on a mission.

Most people are cool with you, until you pose a threat to them. 

Repost: Pet Loss

“Pets, it turns out, also have last wishes before they die, but only known by veterinarians who put old and sick animals to sleep. Twitter user Jesse Dietrich asked a vet what was the most difficult part of his job. 

The specialist answered without hesitation that it was the hardest for him to see how old or sick animals look for their owners with the eyes of their owners before going to sleep. The fact is that 90 % of owners don't want to be in a room with a dying animal. People leave so that they don't see their pet leave. But they don't realize that it's in these last moments of life that their pet needs them most. 

Veterinarians ask the owners to be close to the animals until the very end. ′′It's inevitable that they die before you. Don't forget that you were the center of their life. Maybe they were just a part of you. But they are also your family. No matter how hard it is, don't leave them. 

Dont let them die in a room with a stranger in a place they dont like. It is very painful for veterinarians to see how pets cannot find their owner during the last minutes of their life. They dont understand why the owner left them. After all, they needed their owner’s consolation. 

Veterinarians do everything possible to ensure that animals are not so scared, but they are completely strangers to them. Don't be a coward because it's too painful for you. Think about the pet. Endure this pain for the sake of their sake. Be with them until the end.”

Powerful. No matter how painful this experience may be, I'm going to man up & be there for my pets until their last breath. They were there for me, so it's my job to be there for them. I know it's tough losing a pet, but think of the good times y'all had: Trips to the park, car rides, the walks, playing outside in the front yard. If you've given your dog(s) a good life, you shouldn't have trouble being there for them until the end. I don't want to lose a pet, but I know they'll go before me, so that's why I work hard to give them a good life so when they cross over, I'll have no regrets because I know I did right by my dogs. Will it be hard losing a dog? Yes, but again...the memories will carry me through. 

This Texas School Shooting Is Very Suspicious LIVE 2 STRONG

What stood out to me about this broadcast is how an hour & 15 minutes passed before authorities took action. You mean to tell me that police did nothing for an hour & 15 minutes, basically letting the shooter have free reign? Miss me with that. 19 students & 2 teachers died on THEIR (the cops) watch. I pray for the families of the slain students because their children will never make their mark on the world as a result of negligence. Corey & Marlon were fired up & rightfully so because the damage could've been minimized, or neutralized if the cops had some balls to take down the shooter before the first shot. I don't have children, but best believe...if I'm there, I'm saving lives at all costs.

Manhood In 2022

Repost by Andrew Forbes

 The American view of men is troubling. Either he's too much of a man and being demanding if he shares his views and acts as he sees needs to be, or what he does isn't enough (I know you did this, but can you do this too), or only do what is asked of him because what he chooses to do is not right, needed, and appreciated, or he's weak if he appears to care, or not sensitive if he appears not to. Men are a dying breed because society wants males, not Men.

My view: He’s not lying. Manhood has been attacked for a while now, and the attack isn’t letting up. Women are attempting to redefine manhood by saying what real men do/don’t do, men are becoming effeminate, etc. Some women support the emasculation of men because many of them don’t want thorough men, they want someone that will pander to them at his expense. Men are waking up and what happens? The term toxic masculinity is born. Masculinity is toxic if a man doesn’t do what a woman wants? Miss me with that. Just like men can’t define womanhood, women can’t define manhood.
