Appointed Time For Blessing

Everyone has an appointed season for blessing. Just because someone gets blessed sooner doesn't mean your time isn't coming. 

Thanking God For The Good & Bad

Note: It’s difficult for me to thank God for the bad days, especially since they seem everlasting.🤷🏾‍♂️

Remember to thank God for the bad days as well as the great days. Don’t immediately forget about the good days when things go wrong. He has a reason why you’re going through a hard season in your life. Trust His will. Remember, there’s your plan and there’s His. 

Thursday Message: Raising A Disabled Child

Saturday Gospel: Why are some children born with disabilities and others are born healthy? That doesn't make sense because every child is entitled to a healthy life free of disabilities. It breaks my heart because there are people that have multiple disabilities. They must've been cursed with bad genetics to have multiple disabilities. That's why I say genetics can be a blessing & a curse because if a couple decides to have a child, they need to find out their family's health history; are there disabilities or other health conditions that are hereditary and if so, there needs to be a reluctancy on the part of one or both parents because raising a special needs child is tough. You have to have great patience and strength to love that child through the ups & downs. Life is hard enough but having a disability is 10x harder because disabled students are bullied disproportionately in schools, society is ignorant to the challenges disabled people face, employer discrimination, etc. I have no problem with a couple wanting children but if one or both people have a disability then it's risky bringing a child into this world because you don't want your child(ren) inheriting your condition. I'm very much aware of God's power because even though a disability may be hereditary, God can still flip the script to where that disability WON'T touch your child. Keep your child covered under God's blood and be thankful you are blessed with healthy children because there are couples out there that aren't so fortunate. Seeing these people take simple things for granted makes me mad because if they knew how less fortunate some people are, they would tighten up and appreciate what they have. I just think adoption would be a better choice for couples where one or both are disabled because at least with adoption, you can choose what kind of child you want: newborn, toddler, preteen or teen. Even with adoption, you still need to do your homework and find out any health conditions that exist and then decide if you are up to the challenge of raising a child with special needs. It's not easy by any means and those who say it is, are lying.

Rats

Rats are attracted to cheese. Folks start off as mice tattling about unnecessary things, then become rats when they're grown. I stay away from rats because if they'll tell on this and that person, they'll tell on you. 

Truth Be Told

Truth be told, nobody can judge anyone because we all have a past. Some of ours hasn’t been exposed.
