Less Is More

Good morning family. I've been MIA for a couple of days. It's crazy how we allow distractions to take us away from things we need to be doing. So, one week till Christmas. I have to say, I'm excited because I love seeing my grandkids reactions to what they receive. There's nothing like seeing happy children. I'm hoping everyone's holiday is filled with love and joy no matter what is received or given. The father of a young lady's children in our neighborhood was killed recently. Today would have been his 30th birthday. I met this young man twice but knew of him through my children and Facebook postings. The young man who took his life is 23 years old. Both African American. My heart breaks every time a story like this is played out. What our younger generation fails to realize is that money/material things/fame are temporary. None of this is worth taking a life or loosing a life. What's left behind is destruction and heart ache when acts of violence are committed. They're selfishly thinking that if they had more, things would be better. Guess what, more doesn't make it better especially if it's obtained illegally. My family has had it's fair share of tragedy but my family has also done their fair share of dirt. This morning I ask our Father in Heaven to touch the hearts of all those who are caught up in a world that brings pain to others and I also ask Him for healing. I ask God to be with our families, continue blessing us and allow us to bless others. Praying that we make informed choices, choices based on what God says and not based on what we want. "For what does it profits a man to gain the whole wide world and loose his soul?" Mark 8:36. TeamLessIsMore. Bblessedloveyou. Please say a special prayer for Keisha and her children.
