GOOD MORNING GOOD PEOPLE! OR SHOULD I SAY GREAT MORNING GREAT PEOPLE!
YESTERDAY WAS A WONDERFUL DAY FOR ME AS IS MOST DAYS GOOD OR BAD. IT WAS VERY PEACEFUL UNTIL MY BROTHER AND COUSIN RONNIE CAME OVER BUT WE WILL TALK ABOUT THAT LATER. THIS POOL IS MORE THAN A NOTION, SO I STARTED MY DAY AT MY NEW FAVORITE SPOT B&B POOL. I WENT PICKED UP CLOTHES FROM THE CLEANERS SAT WITH MOM AND MY SISTER FOR A MINUTE THEN ON MY WAY HOME I SEE THIS LADY TRYING TO FLAG A BUS THAT ZOOMED BY HER.
I WATCHED HER MOUTH THE WORDS OF FRUSTRATION. AS I SAT WAITING ON HER TO CROSS THE STREET (YOU COULD TELL SHE WAS HAVING ISSUES) I KNEW INSTANTLY THAT I WAS GOING TO PICK HER UP AND TAKE HER WHERE SHE NEEDED TO GO. I PULLED UP TO HER AND SAY WHERE YOU GOING GET IN. SHE SAYS I DON'T HAVE ANY MONEY (KINDA WITH AN ATTITUDE) I SAY I DID NOT ASK YOU FOR ANY MONEY I ASKED YOU WERE YOU WERE GOING. SHE IS GOING TO JOY ROAD, I SAY THAT IS EXACTLY WHERE I AM GOING. I NEEDED TO VISIT AN ELDERLY FRIEND IN A NURSING HOME ON JOY ROAD SO THIS WAS PERFECT.
SHE LIVED RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET. WE HAD REALLY GOOD CONVERSATION. SHE SHARED SHE HAD JUST WALKED FROM SCHAEFER VISITING HER BROTHER IN THE HOSPITAL (I PICKED HER UP AT GREENFIELD AND OUTER DRIVE) SHE JUST HAD KNEE REPLACEMENT SURGERY SO SHE WAS IN PAIN. WE THANKED AND PRAISED GOD ON OUR RIDE HOME. SHE WAS AMAZED AT MY TRUCK (SHE WAS LOOKING AT MY PICTURES ON THE SCREEN IN THE TRUCK). WE TALKED ABOUT HER SON, THE GOODNESS OF GOD AND HOW MUCH SHE APPRECIATED ME PICKING HER UP. HER MOM IS CARING FOR HER 98 YEAR OLD AUNT, AND SHE TALKED ABOUT HER MOTHER'S HEART.
THIS MORNING AS I WAS UP WATERING THE GRASS EARLY BEFORE ANYONE WAS OUT I THOUGHT OF CHERYL, AND WONDERED WHY WE DON'T TAKE THE TIME AND REALLY HELP PEOPLE ANYMORE. MANY PEOPLE ARE GOING THROUGH THINGS BUT THEY WON'T SHARE BECAUSE WE HAVE BECOME SO OPINIONATED. I LEFT CHERYL AND WENT TO THE NURSING HOME TO VISIT NOLLIE. WE HAD A GOOD TIME, SHE IS NOT THE NOLLIE I REMEMBER BUT THERE WERE MOMENTS THAT NOLLIE APPEARED LIKE WHEN SHE ASKED ME ....YOU WORK FROM HOME LIVE AROUND THE CORNER AND YOU JUST GETTING HERE? WE LAUGHED. OK NOLLIE, I PROMISE I WILL DO BETTER.
I TRY EVERYDAY TO BE THE BEST PERSON THAT I CAN. I TRY HARD TO BE A GOOD FRIEND, BEING THERE WHEN NEEDED. WHAT ARE YOU DOING TODAY? ARE YOU BEING THERE FOR SOMEONE OTHER THAN YOURSELF? THINK ON THESE THINGS TODAY.
WHO IS DEPENDING ON YOU AND YOU HAVE NOT COME THROUGH? WHAT COMMITMENT HAVE YOU MADE AND NEVER EVEN ATTEMPTED TO COMPLETE IT?
WOMEN EMPOWERED CROSS N PATHS IS NOT JUST A VISION TO ME. IT IS MY LIFE I LIVE IT EVERY DAY.
I THANK GOD THAT OUR PATHS CROSSED. I PRAY THAT YOU ARE BLESSED COMING IN AND BLESSED GOING OUT. I PRAY THAT GOD WRAPS HIS ARMS AROUND EACH OF YOU AND COVER YOU IN ALL AREAS OF YOUR LIFE. I HOPE HE OPENS YOUR EYES AND EARS OF UNDERSTANDING IN AREAS THAT YOU NEED TO IMPROVE. GOD WILL NOT TELL ANYBODY ANYTHING ABOUT YOU BEFORE HE TELLS YOU. WHAT IS HE SAYING TO YOU TODAY? ONE THING I KNOW ABOUT GOD IN MY LIFE.....HE'S GOT TO BE THERE!
WHO LOVES YA! WE DO
