All my life ive seen the people in my family, and the families around me struggle for that dollar bill. My grandparents used to tell me in spanish," the only friend you have is the dollar in your pocket." All these strong mothers busting their butt, doing their job plus the mans job to feed their kids and keep the bare neccessities.. Women going to school , going to work, just trying to make it. Ive seen it my whole life, poverty becomes a way of life, and it sucks. The kid at school with the ripped shoes,and dirty shirt. Fortunately my mom and grandma never let it get to that but we had heatless nights, nights i saw my mom eat less so me and my brother could eat more. Sometimes our men are doing what they have to to provide but it aint enough! Women still gota show face. Poverty is such an ugly thing....and still what some of us would call poverty , someone else would call rich. Lord help us.
Patience, i refuse to ask the lord to give me patience lol. Its not something he just waves down to you from heaven. If you ask, oh he gives. Thats when you gota deal with that persons harsh words, persecution, thats when you have to take that deep breath and walk away cause somebody said sum so stupid you could just slap em. ive learned to be patient with many many times of "ima bout to snap and lose it!!" But its still a work in progress. Thank you lord for grace cause some times i just miss the mark.
Not sure why these things came up but hey....it was nice to blog. love yall
Gp
