Monday Thought

 It amazes me that people are quick to believe accusations without considering that the person could be lying. Not everyone tells the truth, some do, but not all.

Sunday Message: What Being A Provider Entails

Sunday Gospel: At times, it's impossible to balance family and work due to conflicting demands. Either your family will demand more of your time or your job will; you cannot have it both ways. One is bound to suffer. If you put your family first, your job will suffer and vice versa. The key is finding a supportive spouse that understands your rationale for putting in extra hours on the job so you can make sure they're straight. A man's job is to provide for his family and part of provision means you have to take advantage of overtime opportunities or extra income opportunities. After all, he's doing it for the family. Women need to stop running guilt trips on their man because if the money wasn't coming in, she would be upset about that but when the money coming in, she doesn't say anything (by right she shouldn't). At least he has a job because most men don't work. If a man works too much, his woman gets pissed and wants him home more; If he's not making enough, she wants him to step his finance game up. Damned if you do and don't with some women. Did it ever occur to some women that the reason why their man may spend more time at work than with her is because she NAGS too much? *Crickets* No man wants to come home to a motormouth. I said all that to say this: You can't always balance work & family because one is bound to suffer. That Part. 

Blessed By God vs. Blessed By Satan

Satan's "blessings" come at a cost. When God blesses, there's no strings attached. 

 

Friday Thought

Some folks are so thirsty for friendships, they'll befriend anyone even if it's not in their best interest. 

Hard Truth

Repost (Shun Dennis Strickland)

Hard truth:

Sometimes families stop gathering because once Big Mama is gone there is no reason to put up with the toxic behavior that went on for generations. 

Ya'll were never close, you just all loved her. 

Blood doesn't make us family, just related. 

Post of the year. The younger generation sees the 💩 the older generation put up with for the sake of family, and wants no part of that.🤷🏾‍♂️Family is important, but not important enough for constant drama. There comes a time in one’s life where you must remove yourself from toxic environments. Another reason is that many of the elders in the family have passed, and family reunions just aren’t the same without Big Mama, Grandaddy, etc.

Shanquella Robinson

 I send my condolences to Shanquella Robinson’s family; their loved one died at the hands of her frenemies. The death of Shanquella Robinson by her so-called “friends” should serve as a wake-up call to watch those you’re cool with. Some people will continue kekeing with everybody who shows them love.🤷🏾‍♂️I see why some people stay to themselves because you don’t know who’s legit anymore. Some people get close to you and pull mess like this, so it’s almost not worth it to befriend people.

Today’s Thought

I appreciate a concerned woman just like every man does, but some women should understand one thing: If she asks her man what's on his mind and he doesn't tell her, it means 2 things: 1. He doesn't want her to know, and 2. He could be going through something major and doesn't want to burden her. Men are solvers by nature, and sometimes men aren't going to tell their woman what's wrong because he's focused on fixing the problem.
