Where is the thanks???

Today is Thanksgiving and I can not help but wonder where the thank you is??? TV is filled with Black Friday specials and door busters. No one on TV has stopped to say thank you to the soliders. Oprah gave praise and thanks on her show but so far that is it. The talk is more troops, the couple who crashed the state dinner and how to prepare turkey. What about the folks who don't have anything to eat today! What about the family that is dealing with the loss of a love one! What about the lonely people who have no where to go today.

Today is about giving thanks for all that we have in our lives. The good and the bad. The more and the less. Give thanks for this moment, the past and the future. So stop and take the time before we all get caught up in the madness of the holiday (black Friday, door busters and Christmas gifts) and say thank you. Then a thank you to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Without his sacrifice all that we have or accomplish would not have been possible.

It feels good in my spirit: 25 years of service

Tonight I was talking to my cousin/sister. She wanted my take on Oprah's announcement regarding ending her show. I quoted a line from one of my favorite movies," a lady always knows when to leave" all jokes aside. Oprah came she saw she conquered! Oprah has transformed and enriched so many lives, and found herself in the process. In God we live move and have our being. Oprah has let the holy spirit lead her. She has served humanity and our God well. I'm sure our Lord is saying well done good and faithful servant! Indeed it feels good in her spirit! Peace and Blessing dearest Oprah!

For Precious Girls and Boys everywhere!!!

Now I understand what director Lee Daniels meant when he said people are thirsty for the truth! Precious tells the truth and shows us how to breakthrough from the hell of our realities!
The film Precious had everything incest,self hate, hopelessness, rape, illiterate,poverty, HIV, obesity, light skin/dark skin issues, cruelty and insecurity.
There is a scene in the film where MoNique is quick to correct Mariah Carey and say firmly " I did not allow drugs in my house" What the hell! Evil is evil! There is no such thing as one sin out trumps another. I have heard that same crazy philosophy from my own family members.
It also shows us that people who have authority over us for example mother, father, grandparents can destroy us if they have unresolved issues.
This was a cycle of hatred.
I pray that everyone goes to experience this truth. This is a call to action! If we are broken we must seek healing and break the cycle of pain. If we know of someone we must help. Break the silence and be the person that God desired you to be. Remember we are all Precious in his sight!
