Speaker 1 (00:01):
Ladies and gentlemen, it's here the Steve Harvey Morning Show
sits upon us. Another great day, another opportunity, another blessing. Man,
How good is it to be alive? How good is
it to be filled with another opportunity? To be given
so much grace? Whatever measure of health you may have,

(00:23):
you have it the ability to rhyme, reason or think,
Oh man, thank you Lord. I didn't take a lot
of time to say thank you this morning, so I'm
stopping with a humble heart to say thank you, Heavenly
Father for all the great gifts and blessings you bestowed
upon me. Man, I would be nothing without you. That's

(00:43):
a fact, man. That ain't radio. That's a fact. Steve
Harvey Morning Show, Charlie Strawberry, Colin Farrell, Math of the South,
Junior Government, name Kills, Faith and the Legend, Nephew Thomas Junior.
What's on your mind? Man, and just stay right there
talk about that your gratitude? Well, what are some of
the things that you thank God for that most people miss?

(01:06):
I don't know. I don't really know what most people miss.
I really don't. But it's the simplest things, man. It's
that sometimes we take for granted, like the ability to
wake up in the morning. I don't know if you
realize it, but you really don't have the ability to
wake up. Oh, you can set your alarm, but you
do understand that the alarm is just annoyed that goes

(01:27):
off at a specific time. Something. Somebody has to shake
you to hear it. Somebody has to give you the
health and measure to react to the sound. That you
set the time clock for something. And it ain't iPhone, people,
it ain't Apple. I can tell you that right now

(01:48):
that that gift of life and breath and wake it
up is only given by a heavenly fog. He's in
control of all of that. Now, you can circumvent that
if you want to. You can is short. You can
live a life of crime and hatred and go around
do what you want to do. You can cut your
life short. You can dishonor your mother and father. It's

(02:08):
a lot of things you can do to you know,
to cut your life short. But if you ain't shooting
for that, that's God. God gives you grace, man. So
I think one of the basic things man is just
the ability to wake up and have a measure of health.
But I go so far as I think I've gotten
to the point now, Junior, where I'm able to actually
thank God for my hardships and my troubles. Now that

(02:31):
took some learning. Oh man, that took some learning. But
what I have learned though, is during the trials and
tribulations and the hardships, all that is is God preparing
you for something you asked him for. I look at
my life and I look at it today and I realize.
I say to myself, well, God knew where I was

(02:53):
going in life. I had to be tough, so he
toughened me. He put me in situations that tough in me.
He knew I was gonna have to be strong, so
he put me in a lot of situations that I
had to be that strengthened. He knew I had to
be caring, so he put a lot of trouble people
in my path that I could understand and be soap

(03:13):
and show a sympathy for. He knew all of that.
He knew that I was gonna carry a heavy load,
so he made my back strong all that. Man, it
just makes sense. So now, man, when I get into hardships,
I said, Okay, he getting me ready. He finish, flip
a switch on me. I just need to ask the
test so I can get ready. You're listening Harvey Morning Show.
