It’s amazing how much smoother your days go when you remain calm. I think of the saying don’t sweat the small stuff because everything is small stuff. I am so glad God has been so good to me. I really can’t even explain how many things he is working out in my life. I am just in prayer about so many things right now. I have actually started a list. I don’t want to leave things out. I want to be thorough in all that I do including my prayer. I have been staying positive in all aspects of my life. I think of that song. “It is well with my soul”. I can’t even be upset about anything because it is all happening to make me a better person. Yesterday when I went to pick my kids up from the daycare there was this girl standing outside of the daycare, it was sprinkling, and she had two little kids. She stopped me and was like let me ask you something, I was like cool, what’s up? She proceeded to ask me about the lady that runs the daycare and how she told her she couldn’t wait inside for her ride with her two little kids. She said she had to go. Well I initially told her forget that, go on back in there, I’ll go talk to her, I was running late and rushing so I really didn’t have time to deal with it, and then I thought, slow down and see what’s going on. She proceeded to tell me she was waiting on her ride because her car had broke down and she had to stand outside with her two kids and wait because they were acting mean to her. She then began to cry, I was like Oh Lord. Beans keep it together and talk to this girl; she was probably about 24 or so. She went on to say, it was too cold for them to walk or she would just walk, I started to hug her, but people don’t like for you to touch them so I was like, stop crying, I’ll take you home. She said you don’t know where I live, I told her come on, I don’t care where you live. I took her kids by the hand and led them to my van. I told her to fix her face and get herself together and I took them home. She didn’t live but like a mile away, but she had a bag because she was trying to go to school and two little kids that would have been a treacherous walk in the rain. When I got to her house I let her out and told her it would be ok, and anytime I was there and she needed a ride, let me know it was nothing. As she got out of the car, I began to cry, because I could feel her pain. Where she was at, I had been in that same exactly place. Trying to work and better myself three babies and no car, and I don’t know her name but I am praying for her. To think back, just a few years, that was me. So I know what it feels like when people kick you when you are down. The sad part about it is the lady that runs the daycare is supposed to be religious. How can you claim you love God, and mistreat other people? I have to look at her in a different light now. How can you testify of his goodness and them be mean and nasty? God is love. I am really praying on my next step in my ministry and I know yesterday was confirmation on what I want to do. There needs to be outreach. I can not run to church in my nice things and talk about the goodness of God. See people in distress and keep it moving. I wish saved people would step out of their own righteousness long enough to realize that they are where they are only due to grace and mercy. Nothing that you have done entitles you to anything, but God bestows blessings upon you and you should bless other people. Well I will end my sermon no, but think about, and challenge yourselves. Put your money where your mouth is. For the next week do something nice for someone. Don’t let the only way people know you are a Christian is because the see you carrying a nice crispy bible (lol), if it’s in too good of shape that will tell me something about you. Anywho, get out there and live the life you claim to live. I’m out, be blessed. I just put it out there and aint nobody mad but the devil.
so check yourself.
