Yes, It’s Still Love Month

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning☀️

Yes, I am still talking about love! Smile

I’ve shared the same image below since 2022. To continue with the “love” theme, I’m sharing it again today, along with two of my previous captions—the first is included in the screenshot.

Keep it simple. Don’t overcomplicate it.

Here’s the second caption, which was shared last year.

Feeling a bit nostalgic this morning. Taking it back to when times seemed simpler. When love seemed simpler. But what would I know? I was only around four or five when “When Somebody Loves You Back,” was released.🤭 Let’s just say I felt the love Teddy was singing about. It was between this song and L.T.D.’s “Love Ballad.” I’m a 70’s baby, of course I love “LOVE.”☺️

When I shared last year’s post as an Instagram story, I included Teddy Pendergrass’ “When Somebody Loves You Back.” As you can see, I was torn between it and another 70’s favorite, L.T.D.’s “Love Ballad.” I remember my granddaddy playing L.T.D.’s eight track while driving his midnight blue L.T.D. I was so intrigued by the fact that they were both L.T.D.s that I never forgot either—not even the color of his car. Great memories.☺️

As I said in my caption from last year, “I’m a 70’s baby, of course I love “LOVE.”☺️” It’s who I am, and this year I’m embracing it. I am a lover and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with it. As Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said—

“Hatred paralyzes life; love releases it. Hatred confuses life; love harmonizes it. Hatred darkens life; love illuminates it.”

Let’s light up the world with LOVE!♥️

I love you,

Shaun

God’s BEST

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning☀️

This morning, I asked God how I would know what His BEST was for me, and He assured me that I would know. He gave me an example of how I asked for something very specific—not asked in a prayer, just a random ask (nothing intentional)—and it happened. He said that’s how I will recognize the BEST. It’s not something I will have to seek, second guess, or question if it’s the BEST, I will just know.

I will know.

Deep, huh? Smile

That’s all for now. Praying you a wonderful day and blessed week!♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Stop Running

Shaun Bradford

Here’s a snippet of a message I shared on March 8, 2023, a few months before my 50th birthday—

The message is the same today as back then—it’s time to stop running!

God has placed a unique gift inside you that’s part of your purpose and calling. Whatever He’s called you to do—which will always be attached to serving others—Do it! As I have mentioned in past posts, things don’t have to be perfect or ideal for you to get started; however, it is important that you start and start now. Someone needs you, today!♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Stay Focused: One Decision Can Change Your Life

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning☀️

Since Facebook grouped these two stories together, I decided to share the Facebook memories from each one.

🙏🏽

Simple message, yet it is often difficult to do until all noise is blocked—both externally and internally.

All it takes is ONE decision for our entire life to change. What may seem like a small decision today could actually be one of the greatest decisions of our lifetime.

Message—

We must stay focused so when it’s time to make those life-changing decisions, we won’t hesitate to make them.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

You Lack Nothing

Shaun Bradford

You lack nothing. You already have everything you need to accomplish whatever you need to at this moment. No need to keep waiting. Use what you have.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

God Chose You: Chosen (Designs)

Shaun Bradford

For a few years I shared the same message—“God chose you.” Last year, I reshared my post from 2023, not realizing I was following the changes in the designs.

Unfortunately, I failed to create a design for last year (2024). However, I did find a version of the message that was created a couple of months later, and I’m also including a version I’ve already created this year. So, I guess you can say this is more about the design than the message, but do make note of the message. Smile

2022 and 2023

As you can see, my style has changed over the years, and I love it! Hopefully, I won’t forget to create one for next year’s post. Maybe I’ll put it on my calendar.☺️

Anyhow…

Remember, God chose YOU for this specific time and season to do what only YOU can do. YOU are His chosen vessel.♥️

Love you,

Shaun
