Family Relationships: THERE WAS A TIME

I have had some recent disappointments from certain relatives.  They made me believe/hope that they would come through on their word. Nope!

There was a time I would have set myself on fire, to keep others warm.

There was a time I would have crossed oceans to reach people who wouldn’t cross a stream for me.

There was a time I would try, too hard, to be seen by those, who would simply never see me.

There was a time I felt unworthy of a person, who could actually never be worthy of me.

But not anymore.

You see my friend, there are many ways to spend your time on this earth 

but wasting it on those who are not appreciative of your attention, is a crying shame.


Use your time wisely.

Save your best efforts for those who care. 

For those who would return the favour or at least appreciate your attention. 

Those who truly value you.


And the rest? 

If they do not see you now, they never will.

And they are missing out.

Make this the time that you realize your time is precious and should only be bestowed on those who bring you comfort, positivity, support, love, or joy.

Or all of the above.

Remember, you are the main act, not a warm-up, 

and this, my friend, is no dress rehearsal.

This is it.

The curtain is well and truly up.

Shine on.

No More Car Loans for Us!

 Slowly, but surely, we are being unshackled from the burden of debt.  We praise the Lord Jesus Christ, first and foremost. 

This will be our last car-loan debt payment in our married life, God willing. Payments in cash 💲only;  and rice-and-beans meals is what we are willing to do in order to reach our financial goals. I know -- easy to say, but hard to do. God help us!
