Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, my closing remarks today is a bit of encouragement
just about responsibility. I understand that responsibility can be daunting
at times, but have you.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
Ever thought about looking at it like this, How great.

Speaker 1 (00:20):
And how wonderful it has to be when the responsibilities
get a bit much that you still have the capability
of handling them. I know it's tough, but you were
equipped for it. You've survived it so many times. You

(00:40):
are wonderfully made. God has strengthened you and favored you,
and graced you and got you in this position. Sometimes,
you know, you're the one in the family that everybody
go to with all their problems, all they requests, And
I know it gets on your nerves, and I know
you want to go. Man, I wish they would call

(01:00):
somebody else. But let me ask you this though, Ain't
it better to be the one that's being called than
the one that has to call? I would rather be
the lender than the borrower. And I know it gets
on your nerves. I know you do, because many of
you all listening to others, the ones in your family
that climbed the corporate letter, that got the position down

(01:23):
at the post office, that worked to save your money,
that managed to put your retirement money up, that has
managed to go to work and accumulate some money. And
we all got them relatives, man, that just don't get it.
They just don't get it. That seemed like they ain't
trying to do no better. And every time they get

(01:44):
in a hole, here they come, hey, bruh, can you man?

Speaker 2 (01:50):
Can you help me out? Hey?

Speaker 1 (01:51):
Let me holler at you. I know you got it. Hey,
look man, I've been I just got into myself in
a little position over and over and over and over.
And you want to go, hey, man, when are you
gonna stop doing this to yourself? And it gets to
be a bit much. But man, think about it, y'all.

(02:14):
Ain't it a blessing to be the one that you
turned out to be. You may not be have reached
all your goals yet and gotten exactly where you want
to be, But man, ain't you better off than you were?
Ain't you better off than most? And I know I've
said this before that comparison is the biggest thief of joy.

(02:37):
Comparison is the biggest thief of joy, But it can
also be a reminder of how far you've come, how
well you've done how the sacrifices you've made have paid off.
I would rather be the loner than the bar and

(03:01):
as daunting as that can be, it's a really really
good position. And every now and there, man, I have
to remind myself that to whom much is given, much
is required. That's true of you, because it's all relative.
See quit talking about who rich and who ain't. It's
a lot of ways to be rich, rich in spirit,

(03:24):
rich in family, rich in health, rich and joy, rich
in peace, rich in just contentment. Man, it's so many
people just not content. That's a beautiful place to be in.
And you've made all the sacrifices to get yourself to

(03:44):
where you are, and be thankful for that. Man, you know,
we got to show compassion to those less fortunate than
I understand that. But being responsible for me has been
one of my greatest honors. I am grateful to God
Almighty that he made me responsible. I am grateful to

(04:07):
God Almighty that he put it all on me. I
accept the fact that I am the one that he chose.
I don't know why he picked me, but I'm so
glad he did. You may not know why he picked you,

(04:28):
but ain't you glad he did. You may not understand
how you made it this far looking back on all
you went through. But ain't you glad though? Ain't you
glad that God showed you this much grace and this
much favor. You Remember when they wrote you off, Remember
when everybody was talking about you. Remember when you was

(04:50):
the hot topic. Remember all that. Remember when you came
into work and they was laughing you. Remember when you
were sitting over there in your cubicle, just trying to
do your job and you could hear the mummering.

Speaker 2 (05:01):
But all look at you. Now. You got through it,
didn't you. That's because God is good. Man.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
God is full of favor, and I appreciate it. And
sometimes as daunting as being responsible gets, I'm so glad
He made me who I am because there ain't nobody
nobody I want to be other than me. Because I'm
gonna tell you something. Man, you might be looking at

(05:29):
somebody talking about man, I wish that was me. But
you really don't know what's behind that curtain. Man, It's
some ugly stuff behind the facades that some people putting on.
Learn how to be content with who you are. Be
thankful every day for the person you've turned out to
be and the person you're going to be, because it's

(05:49):
a process. If you do that, you'll enjoy your life
a little bit better. I was talking to myself today.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
I hope you got some out of those are my
clothes remarks. Hey, y'all talk to God today.
