Last night I had a great time with my my husband,
my 3 sons and one of my stepsons while out to dinner!
We laughed and laughed and laughed some more!
Make happy moments with family!

Be your best self today
even if you have to
SELF
EVAL-U-ATE
Stay in your lane, and no one else's!
Concern yourself with your life and not
interfere with other people's personal business.
If you're not being a blessing,
then that means that you're in the wrong lane
& that satan is using you to attempt to cause problems for others.
There's never a time to excuse or make sense out of your wrongs.
Search inside of your heart
& deal with what you know are evil works.
If you've manipulated,offended,insulted,
gossipped about another person(s)
that's NOT Godly! Repent!
"Are you being a blessing for the Lord, or
are you doing evil for the devil?"
Serving God and doing what is right
is not always at our convenience.
Food For Thought
GOD ALWAYS puts each of us
in a position to be a
blessing somehow ,some way,everyday!
Be a blessing & you'll get a blessing,
somehow,some way,one day!
If you're doing evil works to others,KARMA has a way
of teaching you a lesson that you'll never forget.
Get on GOD's side & STAY THERE!

Well, the end of the school has come around.
What will your kids do for the summer?
For some single parents it may not be easy to take summer vacations, or even to send your children to a summer camp or program.
Perhaps your place of worship may offer a place for kids to go & have some fun while you're working. Check with the Boys & Girls Club, the YMCA and just check around with family and friends.
What interests your child? What about hobbies? Maybe a "free" class is being offered in your community . If your teen is able to work,then that's good thing! Atleast part time. Just keep your eyes & ears open so you may find something for them to do. Kids don't need too much idle time.
You don't want to leave your kids feeling that they're alone & bored. Spend time with them after work. Whatever you do, your young children should not be left alone at home .As far as your teens go...this is a no-no. Why?
Too many teens get involved in
things that aren't productive.
You may trust your teen just I did...
& there were times that they had to stay at home while I worked.
However, I was blessed to have obedient sons.
(So because I had no choice...I knew it would be ok.)
They respected me and our home.
If you have no choice where your teen is concerned and you feel comfortable about it...then you just have to do what you have to to.
Unfortunately, some teens hang with the wrong crowds and their parents allow them to do whatever and never put their foot down.
This can lead to drinking alcohol, teen pregnancies , crime, gangs,etc.
PARENTS...put your foot down. This is LOVE!
Guide them in the right direction.
Obviously,this isn't always the parents fault...
yet sometimes it may be.
Whatever you do...make sure you're doing all you
can to be attentive to your young child or teen.
Know their friends & their parents.
My oldest son told me not long ago
that he used to think I was strict,
& says he is so grateful how I've raised him.
He stated that he sees how alot of the youth
have no respect and get involved in numerous things.
Remember that you are the PARENT...
& not their FRIEND.
Expect your young child or teen to get bothered
when you say no to hanging out with the wrong people.
They will get mad when you tell
them to be in the house before dark
or some other specific time.
Set curfews, stick to it!
Kids try to make parents feel guilty...
and yes it may work sometimes. lol
You cannot go back on your word & if you do...
it has to be a darn good reason! lol
Stand firm with your children OR
you may have sons & daughters
who will do as they please
and you may lose control.
Parents may have good kids,
but if they hang with the wrong crowd,
it could become a battle to turn them around.
1st Corinthians 15:33
Do not be deceived;
Bad company corrupts good morals.
Give them an opportunity to be great kids,
and become great adults.
It starts with us...the parents.
Food For Thought
"Do you know what your children are involved in?"
Make sure YOU are doing your job as a parent!
Crime doesn't pay & we need to teach this to the youth!
Special Message:
To my middle son, sorry that someone stole your speakers & your very expensive video/camera that you earned by working hard & being the responsible young man that I raised you to be. God will bless you with another one so that you may use when you attend Georgia State this fall!

1st Peter 3: 9-12
or with insult,but with blessing,
because to this you were called
so that you may inherit a blessing.
For whoever would love life
and see good days must keep his tongue from evil
and his lips from deceitful speech.
He must turn from evil and do good;
he must seek peace and pursue it.
For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous
and his ears are attentive to their prayer,
but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.
Food For Thought:
God got it! : )
