    The first song my grandmother ever played for me. She passed in 2007 at the ripe old age of 95. To God be the glory. Still missing you, Miss Carrie😢

    Yesterday I took a non-Christian friend of mine on a grocery shopping errand. We passed a beggar on the way in whom I ignored. However, my friend must have taken note since he bought some lunchables which he handed to the beggar on the way out. I feel ashamed of what I've thought at times & those in need I've ignored. Lord lead me to those in need.

    My grandpa was a pastor and I grew up listening to him sing this before he preached his sermon. He’s been passed away since 2012 but for some reason tonight, this song came into my spirit and I forgot some of the lyrics. I just had to look it up and this is the first time I’ve heard it dang by someone else other than my grandpa, but this has to be the version that he heard because he sang it just like this. My grandpa’s works, life, and service is most definitely still speaking for him. Praise God. 🙌🏽

    None of us came to this world to live forever, as Heb. 9:27 says: And‭ as‭‭ it is appointed‭‭ unto men‭ once‭ to die‭‭, but‭ after‭ this‭ the judgment‭:‭ If your life doesn't add up to the word of God, I employ you to repent, now! acknowledge your sins, and asks God to forgive you, in accordance with 1John 1:9. Repentance today beats spending eternity in torments.

    The bottom line is your intentions before you do anything..... I hope ours are good 👍🏿, sincere, and righteous..... That is what we all are going to be judged by.... I say "Just Do It Right"... One thing is certain, you cannot do nothing dead.... So while you are here, make a positive mark in life and get it done ✔️. Make your word bond and then "Show and Prove"..... Let your good reputation proceed you in this life and the hereafter..... One thing is sure, our transition awaits us all.....and it's the only sure thing in life.. In Fact, death is the first thing in life we all should prepare for and then be buried naturally with the earth 🌎 ✨️.... Now get your work done ✔️.... Respect!
