Happy Sunday to you and your family. Enjoy and be safe.
Life is given to us by God, but the arrogance
in humans, makes him believe that he has the right to live and others don’t. He
kills without respect for life. Man is playing God.

We are hated because of the color of our
skin. Yet some people lie in the sun for hours or go into an oven and bake
themselves to get our color. They stick a needle into their lips to make them
luscious like ours but they hate us.
If you want to change yourself then you hate
yourself first. Your hatred then flows to the person you want to be. As my
father used to say, “Jealousy is ah hell of ah thing.”
My grandfather Leounce Valentine, had taste
and he was smart. He married an African woman.

There is always one person in your daily life
who is pleasant to you.
Value yourself because there is a reason why
God woke you up to see another day. Do not complain about anything because there
is someone out there, in a worst position than you. God opened your eyes to see
today so enjoy the happy moments and the kindness.

Have a nice day. Enjoy and be safe.
Every day I wake up and I turn on my TV on
Reflections and it is the most beautiful serene moment to start my day. After
the tranquil moment I watch the news and all I can say about that is, “Madness!
What’s next? Another outrageous mindboggling heartbreaking moment from man?”

Enjoy your day and be safe.
I saw a post on one of my friend’s wall about
a transgender woman reading to children in a library. The question was what do
you think?
My comment was, ‘She is a person who is not
harming the children so it is fine with me”.
You cannot be of God when you are filled with
hatred and judgement.
Some people say and do bad things to gays, transgender etc.,
people. I am sometimes flawed and scared for the victim, when I hear the anger
and dislike that is spilled out of the mouth, of these sanctimonious people.
What did this person do to you? You are not God you are not
perfect. They are human beings and they need to live their lives. I always
wonder what is the judger’s story? Are they kind, truthful and warmhearted?

A wonderful blessed Monday to you and your family.
I
believe if I do something wrong to anyone that sin is going to fall on my
children so I always try my best to be kind to others.
Nothing
anybody does surprises me. I am seeing and hearing some things that people I
know very well are doing. All I can say is that deceitfulness is rooted in their
heart, their mind and their soul. I pray that goodness and mercy will flow from
them.

Secrets are a heavy burden to carry.
Secrets
are a heavy burden to carry.
I
am so fed up of people saying they only telling me their secret when they tell
it to others. When the story comes out they blame me and I know in my heart I did
not tell anyone. So, from the moment someone say to me, “I am telling you
something and don’t tell anyone.” I say, “Don’t tell me because I am not
holding anyone’s burden. If the story comes out just remember you have been
warned.” Most cases they shut their trap and I feel good because I really did
not want to hear their story.

I hope today is a better day for you. Enjoy and be safe.
Some
people pray to the devil. Some people dance with the devil, but when they need
help they cry out, “Oh Jesus, Oh God help me!”

Mothers,
Fathers and caregivers, please have a conversation with your child/children
about crossing the street. This morning while Harold was on his way to work, his
driver was driving on Flatbush Avenue, a child ran across the street in front of
the car. He said that his driver was able to stop the car to avoid hitting the child.
The child got to the other side and kept running. He said that he was shaking. He arrived at the job still upset so he sat down
for a moment.
PARENTS
SERIOUSLY TALK TO YOUR CHILD/CHILDREN ABOUT THE RIGHT WAY TO CROSS THE STREET.

I
cannot stop talking about humans. As my father used to say, “Some people just
can’t leave well alone!” To me that is a true statement. The earth is beautiful
yet man spend his days doing things to desecrate the land. There are times I
cringe when I see the devastation. I remember in 2011 when I was in Trinbago,
there were lots of birds in a tree in our next-door neighbor’s yard. When I
asked why there are so many birds, I was told that many trees were cut down in
the grassy forest area of Point Fortin, so some of the birds came to nest
there. It was a sad sight to see so many trees and grassy areas cut down. Human
have yet they want more. Nothing will suffice their greed. Cane walks the earth
and his seed follows. “LORD put ah hand!”

Another day another story. I hope all is well with you and your family. Enjoy your day and be safe.
Fear not! Stand
your ground and you will see the victory the LORD will win for you today. The
LORD himself will fight for you, you only have to keep still. Ex. 14:13-14

Since
I was a child to an adult I have heard statements made by my parents and many
people. My cousin-in-law was upset about something and in her angry words she
said that someone was a brute beast. I started to laugh because I never heard
that statement before, and her Barbadian accent made it sound humorous. One day I was reading
my bible and I came upon 2Peter 2:12. But these, as natural brute beasts, made to
be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and
shall utterly perish in their own corruption; Ecclesiastes 1:9. What has been will be again, what has been done will be done
again; there is nothing new under the sun.

Maybe
I am old fashion, but it annoys me to see a business letter written haphazardly. Personal letter for example letters to
relatives, friends can be written informally. Letters written for business
purposes should be written in the proper manner. I received a business letter
and I wondered if this is the latest style of writing a business letter.
The
name of the company was at the top, and the company’s address was at the end of
the page about three spaces down from the sender’s signature. The body of the
letter and the closing statement were one paragraph. I started pointing out
mistakes in the letter. Paul and Sarah said that there are many changes made in
the English Language and also to writing letters.
I
said that is real BS. When I used to be a secretary. My letters had to be done
professionally. So, I don’t agree with this shit. I am contacting the company
about this because they need to correct it. I hope this letter is not the
making of the new business letter.
The
new world order. Damn!!

Trinbagonians you will know what a goodnight
Irene is.
Harold woke up about one this morning and
Paul came out of his room and they ran into each other. Harold raised his had
and said, “Oh gosh boy ah nearly hit yuh ah good night Irene, oui.
Paul said, “I want to know what the hell did
Irene do so bad that everyone wants to knock her out?”

Happy Friday to you and yours. I hope you
have a wonderful safe day.
If you don’t take good care of yourself. Life
will throw you down.
On a personal note; When I came home from the
hospital I could not walk. My left leg was stiff. It used to be wobbly and it threw
my balance off so I had to hold on to someone or something, and I could not
stand very long.
I must say thanks to Harold. He told Paul to
check on line for a therapist. Paul found a couple and Harold called the numbers.
He found a therapist… Dr. Dave.
Dr. Dave has been working with me once a week
and today, two months later, I can lift my left leg and walk with a walker. I
am no longer off balance and I know if I keep at it I would be walking without
the walker. Dr. Dave knows his job.
Thanks be to God

I told my children when someone say hateful
things about them, it means that they are important to a hater.
Every day you wake up there is something of
importance set for you to do. Some people ignore what they need to do for
themselves and put their energy into being hurtful to others. They make that
person more important than they are. Do not respond to the hateful comments.
Ignoring it makes the hater unimportant to you. If you respond you are making
them as important to you as you are to them. Not everyone is going to like you
and you are not going to like everyone so that brings balance to life.
Live your life and enjoy it too.

A wonderful Sunday to you and yours.
In every family there is a horrible person. A
greedy, insulting hurtful and distasteful relative. Vile hurtful disgusting things
flow from their mouth. Everyone in the family would talk about this person
behind their back. They would say how horrible he or she is, yet when they meet
with them, they would smile happily at the evil monster as they greet him or
her warmly. I hate that because I know it is sinful to be deceitful. I am not
going to pretend that I like a horrible person because they are my relative.
