Hello Sunday

Know that you are safe in God’s hands.

There is a certain calmness and peace that comes with knowing we are in God’s hands. Not saying we will never experience the random anxiety, worry, or fear. However, when we do, it never lasts long.

Y’all, somehow, God has a way of dispatching His angels to comfort us at the exact right moments. When I tell you there is nothing comparable to His love, mercy, and grace. Listen, there is none like it!

Right now I am hearing the song, “Safe in His Arms,” by Rev. Milton Brunson & The Thompson Community Singers.

Safe in His Arms
Lyrics:
Musixmatch

Because the Lord is my shepherd
I have everything I need
He lets me rest in the meadow’s grass
And He leads me besides the quiet stream

He restores my failing hands [health]
And helps me to do what honors
That’s why I’m safe

That’s why I’m safe
That’s why I’m safe
Safe in His arms

When the storm of life is raging
And the billows roll
So glad He shall hide me
Safe in His arms

So glad, He shall hide me
Safe in His arms

Wishing a blessed Sunday. Rest in God knowing you are safe in His arms.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

You Control The Pen

Y’all, why did I fall asleep early only to wake up thinking it was at least 4:00 AM? Laughing. Since it’s after midnight I might as well share a post. Will write my Hello Sunday later. Good Night!♥️ ~ Shaun

It’s your story and your life. No one knows you better than you know yourself. Be sure to control and PROTECT your narrative. And ALWAYS keep the pen!

P.S. It’s perfectly fine to edit and rewrite. Remember, it’s YOUR story and YOUR life!

Always, always, always keep the pen! Never let anyone else write your story.♥️

Blessed & Favored By God

So many will settle for God’s blessings. However, I do not want His blessings without His favor.

According to Cambridge Dictionary, favor is defined as the support or approval of something or someone.

Listen, I love God’s blessings, and He gives them graciously; however, His approval is what I am seeking. Can’t you hear the Clark Sisters singing, “Blessed and Highly Favored”? I definitely can. Wishing you a beautifully, blessed day!♥️ ~Shaun

“Don’t take it for granted that we are here today. Just know that we’re blessed and highly favored.”

My Aquarius Baby

Honestly, I did not know what I would share today. I guess I am in my feelings. Today is my daughter’s 29th birthday and she’s over 300 miles away. It’s not like we have never celebrated from a distance before. Last year she was in New York. The year before, Miami. This year is just different.

I thought about getting on the road and going to surprise her. However, it’s raining here and raining there. Had to think about safety. Plus, we actually celebrated before she left. So why is today different?

Anyhoo…

I am so proud of the woman she has become. She is everything I hoped and dreamed for and sooo much more. I admire her strength, I adore her passion, and I respect her honesty. I also love the way she loves me. I never imagined being loved and cared for so deeply. Y,all, it still blows my mind that I am a mother. I am so looking forward to getting to know the woman she is becoming. Smiling

My Aquarius Baby – Independent (from birth), loyal, creative, visionary, strong willed, and straightforward. Yep… she’s my heart.♥️

Thank You, Lord

Friday morning praise and worship:

Singing🎶

Thank You, Lord
Thank You, Lord
Thank You, Lord
I just want to thank
You, Lord

You’ve been so good
You’ve been so good
You’ve been so good
I just want to thank
You, Lord

Flashback to when the rain was gone and the sun was shining. Grateful for both, the sun and the rain. Both are necessary for growth. However, I really prefer the sunshine. Don’t we all?☺️

Blessed!♥️

Kobe

Today is the day the world lost a basketball phenomenon, Kobe Bryant. Kobe was king on and off the court. His love for the game, his family, and life was top tier. Not too many could live life like Kobe lived his. Excellence in all areas of life was his real game. He is truly missed.♥️

Facebook Memory: January 26, 2021 (a year afterwards)

When I heard Kobe had passed, I thought it was fake news. I just knew he had more time with us. He was so young. And baby Gianna.😢 As my dad said when my brother died, God doesn’t make mistakes. I just wish my heart understood.💔 Kobe was notorious for living every moment of his life to its fullest. I admired his love for the game AND his family. So many can’t balance both, or don’t make an effort to, but he did.❤️❤️❤️

Listen, we never know if today will be our last (I pray not) so I believe we should live it as if it were. Y’all, we can’t keep saying, “I’ll do it tomorrow,” “I’ll take that opportunity the next time it comes around,” “I’ll do what I love doing after XYZ.” Honestly, you may not get a second chance. So make things happen, TODAY! You don’t have to have it all figured out, just put an effort towards doing it. Doing something is better than doing nothing. I love y’all.🙏🏽❤️

Here are a few of the photos I shared. Back in the 90s I was a huge basketball fan and collected basketball cards. As you can see I still have some of the card collectors magazines. I loved my cards.

The song I’m currently hearing is Tim McGraw’s, “Live Like You Were Dying.” Believe me, it’s not as sad as it sounds. It just makes you think about how you’re living or not living. You know, what’s truly important and what’s not as important as you believe. It puts so many things into perspective. Makes you want to live life to its fullest.

That’s all for now. Please take care of yourselves. Love you!♥️
