    People would kill to have a father like "Rickey Smiley"

      They should be so fortunate. Kids dont always appreciate nor realize the impact he has on their life! Some will be hell bent on being angry for him being so honest and will blame him for all that goes wrong in their life because they did not apply his lesson or refuse to embrace all the love life lessons he is extending.

      I understand your feelings but please overcome this blockage communicate. The Devine tells you to honor your mother and father. Pray for strength go with in spiritually nothing is gonna come to you if thats in your heart. I'm not saying to agree if you wholeheartedly dnt agree it may not be what you want to hear but that dont mean that's not the better road for you think with a higher conscious. You have the right to make your decision but communicate your thought are reason see why they feel they way the do and agree to disagree but dnt cutt yourself off from the respect you have or give your parents. Talking about God sacrifice. Yeah but your parents sacrifice and gave you life. You are apart of there DNA a replica of your father I'm sure you are great and deserve to be happy but a house cant stand if the foundation is not right

    Preach!!SMH!!....I moved away from Detroit 25years ago.my husband and I, he joined the military and retired and our kids are also military. My mother stop talking to me the day I got married. Aunts, cousins, nieces, etc....spread lies and rumors about me. But to this day when and if they need me I'm there....but I stopped allowing people to use me. My mom doesn't even know my kids , and don't call me unless she needs something. My dad is the same way.... but I'm never going to apologize for living the life jesus gave me!... if I wasn't for my heavenly father I don't know where I would be. God bless❤

    Dear Rickey Smiley. Please know that you didn't do anything wrong and you are a great father. I remember when your daughter was shot a year ago. I was both angry and sad... but I prayed. I remember thinking about the amount of losses that you have had in your family which unfortunately reminded me of me and I would often return back to the physical loss of my father 👨🏿. If it wasn't for you and The Morning Church Announcements, I am sure that I wouldn't have made it. As it relates to you I know you lost your grandmother 👵🏾 and grandfather and your uncle's which was hard for you. But I honestly thought that the worst thing that could happen to you would be to lose a child. The prayers of the righteous man availeth much! Prayers kept your daughter here! 🙏🏾 But NEVER in a million years would I think that you would lose your son. Our oldest children are the same age, 32. I thank God that I have never lost a child so I can't relate. But please know that my heart bleeds for you and I have never stopped praying for you. I will continue to keep you, Brandon's mom, siblings and your extended family including friends... in my prayers. In Jesus name, amen.🙇🏾‍♀️

      You are your son's best role model. Don't trust anyone with your son. Go watch Tasha K interview with Trevontae and Larry Ried. I'm a single mom of two boys, and i have and never trust anyone but their dad with them. And barley him lol. I've had preachers and football coaches try scoop them up naw naw naw I got this. Thanks but no thanks. My oldest just turned 18 and never even been on a sleep over. My youngest is 10. I refuse to even date until they both my son's are grown because I'm so scared of someone doing something file, vile, and wrong to them. So trust me Sis you got this.

    • @bernicebrooks3534

      It takes a real man. Women can bring a boy up but it take a man to raise a son from boy to manhood. Women she said she raised her sons in fear of men. This will make them fearful and less than in the world. In fear they will eventually get a gun for protection or seek protection from other men in gangs. Why do think so many of our “young males” killing and being killed??? Fear!!! Fear of real men because they can no longer run and hide under your skirt Mama! There are real strong honest Godly caring responsible heterosexual grown men who are willing to raise their sons and fatherless boys to be men! Problem is you are teaching them that to fear the very one who can help them. We have great black men out here longing for their children!!! But they can’t afford the cover charge that some of you women demand!!! You are too busy looking for a man that will pay your bills, support your personal lifestyle, buy your weave, follow behind you like a boy and sex them like a man. Get real. Take it from me. A grown sensible black woman who was a single mom of a boy, now happily married for over 40 years to the same grown man. When my boys turned 12 years old I stopped disciplining them and the decent respectable man that i married to usher them into the manhood that he had already been demonstrating for them. Get a responsible godly grown woman to mentor you so you can become a real woman mother desirable wife that a real man will treat like a queen. Look ladies. We have to look at ourselves and become better. Our children are dying be cause they simply have not been taught to respect their parents and elders, treat people the way they want to be treated and love and reverence God. Hate evil respect themselves and love their children. This Rev. Dr. Bernice A. Brooks

    • @BroCallMeCai
      @BroCallMeCai Рік тому +1

      Boys need to have at least one positive male role model; emphasis on positive. They need a blueprint for manhood. Someone that can teach them the laws and genuine ways of being a man. No one is saying to leave your kids alone with any man, but they do need to socialize with a man regularly. Mom does not have all the answers to the questions a boy has as he grows into being a man because she has never been a man. Just as a father will not have all of the answers for his daughter. He should get a positive female role model in her life. Does not have to be a girlfriend or a wife, just a woman he trust to be a positive influence in his daughter's life. It goes both ways. No, don't just trust your kids to anyone, but understand it still takes a village. Children miss out on life gems when they become TOO sheltered. Talk to your son and let him know the dangers. Make him understand to turn to you for anything. Ask him difficult questions. Even if nothing seems wrong, still ask, but allow him to enjoy his youth. God willing, we're going to be adults for a lot longer than we were kids. That time goes fast.

This conversation was sooo moving and incredible. I am a single mom to a 17yr old yng blk man, and we are struggling badly to communicate. Your wisdom is everything I’m desperate for him to know, but he won’t hear me for even 2 seconds these days. I will do whatever is necessary to raise my sons right. I want them to LIVE. They don’t have to stay stuck in the misery of generational curses and trauma. The world is at their fingertips. They need to hear all this wisdom from men they can relate to or see as examples & role models. Thank you so very much! I’m praying for you!

That's exactly the reason we all have parents and so on and so on. When momma was alive I loved to listen to her spit knowledge to us. Parents are the blessing to children enjoy it while you can. We go through life so we can teach life to them so it won't be as rough. 🙏💖💖👣

      They are all inside the church plotting and scheming on the community. When their spokesmen speak they come to support . Most of these comments are from a bunch of people who are a part of the devil's dirty lies schemes and plots

    A major BLESSING to have wisdom impart from a loving, God-fearing parent who genuinely cares! This is how a LEGACY is established. There are too many parents who want to be their child's friends instead of taking on the divine role of an elder. This is SO POWERFUL!! Bless you and yours Rickey Smiley....

    Sir, I wish you were my Father so that I could have these talks. My Dad never wanted me and treated me like crap, but I still made something of myself and everyone that meant something to me has passed on...
    I am young and I wish that I had someone like you that was REAL and cared enough to have REAL talks.
    I am listening and forever subscribed.
    Thank you Mr. Smiley

Impactful and on a level that most understand. “New level new devil”…It is indeed a test. But, my Lord! God continue to wrap your arm and keep Mr. Ricky Smiley and his family uplifted during this difficult time. RIP Mr. Brandon Smiley.

    I truly love how well spoken you are on some real ishh. So many videos you make I swear you are telling my life too. When you work so hard to get what you want in your life. The 1st hate comes from your family and friends. God showed me the ones to keep and the ones to leave. I am so happy with that. I asked him to remove all those who mean me no good. As a comedian yes some people try you when it's your Job. Yes do your show its 2am time to get back to my room and rest day well done then next city. May God bless you and you family keep up the positive speeches. I listen to the whole thing and I say thank you. I wish I could have a conversation with ya just like this.

    Rickey is speaking the 💯truth!! I wish I had someone to mentor me this way when I was a young lady. Young man please value what Rickey is saying. I tried to teach my kids these values it was in one ear out the other because of toxic ignorant uneducated family members. Family can be the worst distractions enablers in life!!!
