Mother's Day Tribute Pt. 3

 
 
This tribute is for a wonderful person and truly a REAL MAMA, someone that has put the needs of others above her own knowing what she was trying to achieve. A mother who has remarkable strength and patience to endure all she's been through, even when she "fell" she knew not to stay down. She got up dusted herself off and came back stronger than ever. She has a son who was born challenges but that didn't stop her from going forward with her dreams and helping him I the process. There is nothing she won't do for her two wonderful kids and there is nothing she can't achieve when she set her mind to it. She has persevered through all obstacle and hard times to achieve her dream of becoming a published author, and now that that dream has came true she knows the sky is the limit.
 
 
SO MS. AUTHOR KOLENDRA JACKSON THIS TRIBUTE IS FOR YOU AND ALL THAT YOU DO AND WILL BECOME. I LOVE YOU SISSY!!
 
 
 
 
She is clothed with strength and dignity she can laugh at the days to come
She speaks with much wisdom
and faithful instructions are on her tongue.
 
Who can put a value on the work that this mother does for her child
Who will ever be able to repay her for her hard work and sacrifice.
 
 
 
 
Kolendra you are an awesome and amazing person and I am so grateful that God allowed our paths to cross. I pray that He will continue to bless you and your family beyond measure. You are a beautiful woman and mama inside and out, you don't sugar coat anything and your realness is just one of many things I admire about you.
 
MANY BLESSINGS TO YOU ON MOTHER'S DAY AND EVERYDAY!!
 
 
Josh, Kolendra, Josalyn

Tribute For Mother's Day Pt. 2

Today this tribute goes to Adrienne Head
 
 
 
I am taking this time to honor REAL MAMA'S. You see too me there is a difference between a Mama and a Mother.
Now Webster's definition of Mother is: A woman in relation to a child or children to whom she has given birth.
Definition of the word Mama to me is: Someone who takes the time to take care of a child or children that she has not given birth and loves them as her own.
 
This tribute is to some women that I have come to know in some way or another and I want to show them love for their hard work and dedication.
 
 
 
 
You're a dependable source of comfort;
You're their cushion when they fall.
You help them in times of trouble;
You support them when they call.
 
You are loved more than you will ever know;
You have my total respect
If I could go back in time and have my choice of Mama's
You'd be the one I'd select!!
 
Your arms are always open
when they need a hug
Your heart understands
when they need a friend
Your gentle eyes are stern
when they need a lesson
Your strength and love
guides them & gives them the wings
to help them soar.
 
Being a real Mama is a very hard job one that is looked over and underappreciated but I wanted to let you know that you are awesome in every aspect. You have done a very fine job with raising up your kids and I pray that God continues to bless you every the more.

MOTHERS DAY TRIBUTE PT. 1

 
Sometimes I often here people say "Oh your just a mom" to some women that are not working or has chose to stay home. When I hear that it bothers me because there is no such thing as "Just a Mom".
Being a mom is the most underrated and under paid job there every was and every will be. A mom doesn't get sick time, paid vacations and they're on call 24 hours a day 7days a week. A mom is a cook, maid, chauffeur, photographer, counselor, Hairdresser, ATM, personal assistance, referee, teacher among other things. A mom can be your best friend or if you get out of line your worse nightmare. A real mom will go to the ends of the Earth and back to protect what's hers, she will not allow anyone to bring harm too them and will battle satan himself if she has too. A mother will put herself in harms way and risk her own life to protect the life of her child/children. To a real mom providing for her kid/kids is the first priority over all things, nothing is more important to them than their kids happiness.
If your mom is still around and she has been a REAL mom show her love not just on Mother's Day but everyday because that day may come when your mom is no longer home!
 
 
 
I SALUTE ALL REAL MOMS AND THIS IS FOR YOU ALL....
 
 
 
It's that time of year where we celebrate the ones that are dear and close to our hearts
The ones who we know without them we never would of had a start .
The ones who are there when things are going bad,
The ones who always wipe our tears away when we're feeling just sad.
The ones who are here by our side when we go against the world
The ones who loves us no matter when they carried us if they wanted a boy or a girl.
The ones who loves us unconditionally
The ones who are always there for us emotionally.
 
The time has come where we celebrate REAL MOTHERS everywhere
Letting them know how much we love them and how much we care.
There is nothing greater than a  Mother's Love and for that we can thank the Man up above.
 
 
I pray that everyone who has a mom still here on Earth will show their mom much love like no other.
Many blessings to you all and to all of you who are moms
**HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY**

So Confused

 
OK I may need help on this one because for the life of me I can't seem to understand, so here goes....
 
So I just read that Lauryn Hill is going to prison for 3 months for not paying her back Taxes. So you mean to tell me it's better to have her in prison for non-payment of Taxes oppose to just allowing her to pay the money and be done with it. I mean not only are you prolonging getting paid back but you are also taking a mother away from her 6 kids. Now the reason this is so hard for me to understand is because you have Lindsay Lohan out here running a muck all over the dang place and out of all the crimes she's committed including but not limited to violation of probation and refusal to go and stay in court ordered rehab. I mean since when could you dictate if you would or would not go to a court ordered place. I want to know why rules and laws are enforced for some but not for all. She has no kids to take care of and to be frank she is really a hazard to herself and others. I can not figure out why her parents, lawyers and judges refuse to see this child for the train wreck that she is. I mean lets be real here how many of us could do half of what she's done and get away with it. I mean go to court and flip off a judge and I can guarantee you that you will be found in contempt and thrown in jail for a little while. So why is it that she continues to get these get out of jail free passes with no responsibilities but a person who has 6 kids depending on them to take care of them has to go to jail for 3 months for not paying all their back taxes. I mean I guess the nine hundred thousand wasn't enough to keep a mother at home with her kids but being a complete reckless idiot can keep you free from rehab and prison.
 
SMH.....and like I said I just never will understand it so if you all can help me please try but I doubt if you all can explain it either.
 
 
 
So please explain to me what the difference is?

Treat Others How You Want Too Be Treated......

 
 
Often times when I'm dealing with certain things or going through certain situations I try to figure out why people don't treat you how you treat them, the saying is "Treat others how you would want them to treat you." Well I'm kind of lost on that one because I know I treat people good, even those who have not did right by me.
I have went out of my way to try and help someone that needed help even putting off paying a bill or something just so I could make sure I could help them. Even if that meant driving for hours to helps someone get back and forth to work or even to church. Now I won't say in some shape form or fashion people have not been there for me because they have but as I look back on it them being there for me really was for their benefit and not for the benefit of helping me because I needed help.
I look at my situation sometimes and I can't help but to think and or know that I'm in the predicament I'm in because I helped people that needed help.
I often hear, "You stay too far", well if I'm not mistaken I was staying in the same place when I went out my way to help you, it wasn't too far then now was it.
Don't get me wrong I know what the word of God says and that is the only reason that I haven't exploded on people or had a complete meltdown. I thank God that He equipped me at the time to help those people but it still doesn't stop me from wishing that they would return the favor.
I know that I am not the only one who has ever felt this way and I know that there will be other people to feel this way and that I will feel this way again if I continue to help people who don't appreciate it or who refuse to acknowledge me when I need help or even a listening ear. You see there just comes a time when you have had all you can take. There comes a time when you have to just say enough if enough and I'm going to take it any more, but let me warn you that when you do that they are going to feel you're doing them wrong also let me tell you don't worry about what they say or think and just remind them you are doing exactly what they did too you. When you do this don't feel bad about it either just pick up the pieces and move on with you life and know that troubles don't last always, even though it may see like it, they don't.
Praise God for the many blessings He's bestowed upon you and ask Him to remove all leaches from your life, no matter who they may be. You may not see it in the beginning but in the end you will see it and you will know it was all worth it.
 
Bottom Line is this: If someone has helped you before and you may need their help again you may just want too follow that one Golden Rule:

Falling Is Easy....

I often sit and wonder why is it so easy to fall in love, but yet so hard to let go and move on when you know in your heart of hearts that person is not the right person for you, or when you know the relationship has ran it's course. We often try to figure out why is it so easy to love all the wrong people but so hard to love and care for all the right people, the ones who will love us back the way that we deserve to be loved. Why does it always seems like we meet the right person at the wrong time and then we meet the wrong person at the right time then you end up with an old person with new lies or go to a new person with old lies. After a while it starts to get a little bit confusing and you feel as though you just want to give up on love and say no more, but then you realize you will just end up lonely and miserable and since you've been there and done that you're not trying to do it again. There are times you want to say or feel things but you don't, so you end up thinking if it's right or wrong. But at times we forget feelings don't have boundaries unlike the norms of life made by us, we have to realize that sometimes it's best to just let those feelings flow. You see there is no time frame on falling in love or loving someone, but if it happens quicker than you thought it should have then you just may want to pump the brakes so you can slow down and assess the situation and or relationship, you may want to evaluate your feelings and make sure they are real and not just a strong lust attraction. 
See we as people make the mistake that when we are trying to get to know someone we tell them too much upfront instead of just taking our time and spacing out the information. You see people will sit and listen to you so they can better figure out how to get to you and they will play on those feelings they know you have for them. If allowed they will take full advantage of you based off the information that you provided them in the "get to know me stage".  We have to learn how to not give up so much information so that we won't end up being used and mistreated.
I promise you that if you pay attention to the other person and if they are not on the up and up there will be signs, you just have to take your blinders off so you will be able to see them. It's not easy to drive around in the dark if you have shades on. You should never be so blind and needy that you choose to ignore the signs, the same way they say crazy leave clues, well so does lies. All you have to do is be willing to pay attention and listen.
Love was never meant to be hard or hurtful, people make it that way when they feel as though the need or deserve more than one person at a time. They are only thinking about themselves and not the heartache and break that will be caused if everything comes out in the open. Remember this "What's done in the dark shall surly come to the light!" That saying will never get old and shall always remain true despite any nay-sayer's.
When most of us fall in love we intended on it to be forever but that forever will never come if the person you're with doesn't share the same feelings as you.
So like I said it's easy to fall in love, just make sure someone is there to catch you when you do.

Tragedy So Why The Negativity


 
A small community was rocked by a big tragedy Saturday, April 27, 2013
You would think after this tragedy more people would be able to come together and forget all their pettiness but that really hasn't been the case for everyone.

A mother and four small children lost their lives to a tragic house fire. There were many lives affected because the mother was not the only mother or parent to lose her kids. There were two other mothers who lost the baby girls, there was a father and husband who lost his kids and wife, you had a mother who lost her daughter and granddaughters and you had three young girls who not only lost their mother but their sisters also. This has not been easy on anyone, even if you weren't part of the family or didn't know them personally {which I am and did} you could not hear this story and not be touched by it. You had a mother give up her life trying to save the lives of four small girls ages 5, 3, 2, and 1, the only one she was able to save was her 11 year old daughter by getting her to go to a window where she was pulled out by some young men in the neighborhood.  

Now given the magnitude of this tragedy and all the lives that it touched why is there still so much division, why are there so many negatives things being spoke about a young 27 year old mother who gave up her life trying to save the lives of others? I feel that and we see that no matter what the outcome was people will forever have negative things to say. It's sad because people talk about you when you come into this world, they talk about you while you're in this world and they will continue to talk about you when you leave this world. I think people tend to forget they have no heaven or hell to put anyone in and when they leave this world while they are here busy judging others they shall surely be judged when they are gone. No matte what someone did when they were younger or even the day before doesn't matter to God so why should it matter to you? Every day that a person wakes up they have the opportunity to change their lives and at that point nothing else matters at all to God one way or the other. How can people bring their mouths to say half of the things they are saying and how can people bring their minds to even for a second entertain such foolishness. None of that matters the only thing that matters is that she gave up her life to try and save the life of others, why is that being overlooked and not talked about. I wouldn't care if she was standing in her back yard when all this happened the fact remains the same, she lost her life trying to save those babies.
It's just sad that at a time like this the things that people will do and say, the only thing we can do is pray for the lost, misguided, and ignorant people. We were never put here to judge anyone that is not our place or our job that is for God and God alone. Show me a person without sin and I'll show you a person who hasn't been born yet. There is no person walking the face of this earth without a past and the key word is past. We all have the God given right to change our lives around for the better and once we repent and give ourselves to God there is nothing anyone can say or do to change that. As long as we receive God's forgiveness, people's forgiveness no longer matters because they don't have a Heaven or a Hell to put you in.
A young mother risked her life to save not just her babies by birth but 2 other babies also. That alone speaks a lot for her character so all the other crap she did when she was younger or even the day before no longer mattered. People can say they would have did the same thing but I can't bet if put in that same situation the ones doing all the bad mouthing would have left those babies in there and saved themselves.
