Men!

Jennifred Jones

Today we’re going to talk about the men!

Why? ‘You are a woman!’ (I am, a woman- the writer)

We need men! Men out there, we need you!! Every one of you!!!

Without men, there would be no women. (and without women there would be no men)

But today is about our men! Amen to that!

We are all strong and have good ideas and capabilities, but each of our two genders are unique. Men have a different physique, a different mindset, way of thinking, planning, doing. They have a determination to see things through to the finish at all costs – even their own lives if need be. They are the protectors of their family and community. They know how to lead, guide, fight, hold steady and gently encourage, or stand strong with an iron will. They are good at reasoning together and coming to workable solutions.

‘Lady, I don’t know these men! Do they exist? Could I be one?’ If you’re a man, then yes! And be a good one. No shame in being a man. We need you to stand unashamedly strong!

I said it and I meant it. I am a mature woman and grandmother with lots of brothers, uncles, sons, friends in my life and I happen to like men. They are funny, goofy at times, strong, loving, stern, handsome, direct, caring, sometimes quiet, but they are men! And I thank God for them!

None of us are perfect – men or women. But we are trying to aim at being better!

Let’s not degrade ourselves or others or let them degrade us.

Be the man God made you to be. He will bless you. He will help you. He will strengthen you. He will encourage you and help you move ahead in your life. He is for you!

And so am I!

God bless every one of you men reading this today. Be encouraged!

Antidote for People-Pain

Jennifred Jones

There is a cure, a genuine–yes it will work–cure for people-pain. It is not easy to take, but after you start taking it, it becomes easier and easier and you begin to feel better and better!!!….literally you will FEEL BETTER!

I don’t know how it works, but it does…actually it’s because we’re wired that way, by God Himself Who knows just what we need.

Who would have thought…it goes contrary to all popular opinion and human reason. Yet it will work.

What is it?

Do something good for somebody…anybody, it doesn’t matter if it’s the one who hurt you…sometimes that person is long gone, perhaps even died, but we can still do good to someone and watch how it transforms us and others.

If we can just remember that– it will save us a lot of sorrow, grief and wasted time!

Instead of returning evil for evil, bad for bad, trying to get even, we start a new trend to conquer the bad, by doing something good!

If you’ve had a lot of bad done to you, or even seen a lot of bad done, you can change the temperature in your world just by doing something good….a smile, holding the door open for someone…(ladies there is nothing wrong with us holding the door open for a man), letting another driver go in front of you in traffic, baking muffins for your neighbor, writing a letter of encouragement, calling grandmother, even pulling a weed out of your neighbors sidewalk!

Doing good overcomes bad. Doing good multiplies good. Doing good makes you feel good, and there is nothing wrong with feeling good about doing good.

We were not made to feel miserable, but to have joy, peace and happiness in our lives. It begins and continues by doing good.
