Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, here we are, guys, our last break of
the day on this Monday. It's been a good day.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Yeah, yes, really really really Yeah. Great. Kind of went
by kind of.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Quick though, it did, didn't it.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
I wasn't as snappy today as I wanted to be.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
I don't know what that.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
I just wasn't as snappy as I wanted to be. Better,
Get snappy because I'm about to take my butt to work.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
So again, shit off one job and go to another one.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Yeah, at least we got commercial breaks on this job.
You standing in front of that camera. I ain't no off,
so you know, let me let me say this in closing.
You know, I want to keep encouraging people to keep
to keep making an effort to make your dreams come true. Look,
(00:51):
I know that life can be tough at times, and
I know there are times when life seems like it's
completely unfair. But life this ain't really fair. But life
ain't really fair for anybody. And what I mean by
it is not fair, the unexpected always happens. I mean,
you know, as prepared as you may be, you can
be setting your plan for your day to go one
(01:13):
way or another way, and then something completely happens out
of the blue, and it seems unfair. Well, I just
want to remind you that that happens to everybody. That's
not just happening to you. Life happens to everybody, and
these sudden surprises they seem so unfair, but that's life.
(01:34):
The counter that you have for the unexpected is if
you are a believer, if you can work yourself up
to become a person of faith, if you can form
a relationship with your creator. The thing that will help
you get through all of that is the realization that
even though the unthinkable has happened, even though this unforeseen
(01:58):
circumstance has popped up, this unexplainable moment, just the fact
of knowing that God is with me no matter what happens.
He is a very present help for me in the
good times, in the bad times, when it's sunny, when
it's raining, when it's thunderstorming, when the waves is real high.
(02:23):
When your ship gets turned over, it can get righted again.
You know, I want you to understand, stop wanting everything
to be smooth for yourself.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
That's not realistic, y'all. That's not what life is.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
If life was smooth for us all the time, we
would have no level of appreciation, We would have no
need for faith, we would have no relationship with God.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
I promise you we wouldn't.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
If everything was level and smooth, that would be no
flow to life. You wouldn't even have real emotions. If
it stayed smooth all the time, you would have no
appreciation for sunny days because if the sun shine every day,
because we are human, all of us, we would just
(03:18):
get accustomed to it and we would just go about thinking, oh, well,
this is how it's supposed to go. But God treats
the weather just like life. It has its sunny days.
It has its partly cloudy days, it has its days
when there's thunderstorm it. It has its days where it's
(03:41):
windy outside. It has days where it's just great. Then
it has some days where it's just perfectly beautiful weather.
And then, just like life, the weather, it has seasons
to it. You have a season whereas it just seems
like for a period of time you're just out here
all and working, and then you seems like there's a
(04:03):
period of time where it might seem like all your
crops is dead, it ain't nothing coming out the ground.
And then you'll have seasons in your life where you're
just harvesting the fruit and the manner, and the crops
are coming all in. That's life, and God gives us
these examples of life, all through nature and everything. When
(04:24):
the leaves turn brown and orange, how beautiful they can be.
But if some people, if you don't see the beauty
of the orange and the scarlets and the red and
the oranges of the leaves, then.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
You miss the beauty of fall.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
If you just sitting there going, oh, whoa Lord, it's
finn to be winter now, you spend the whole beautiful
fall worried about when winter comes. When winter come and
that beautiful snow is coming out the sky and you're
able to go snowboarding and skiing and sliding and making
snow cream and making ice ice milk and making snow
men and making angels and stuff. You missed the beauty
(04:57):
of winter. Fix your mind, y'all. This is life. Life
has all these even flows, and we all wake and
alive to partake of all these even flows. And it's
a beautiful thing to be able to partake of life
with all its ups and downs. Sunny days, rainy days,
what you need rain for flowers to go.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
It's like God's word. It's just like the rain.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
God does not send rain and snow to earth without
it returning something.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
When the rain falls from the sky, it returns flowers.
When the rain falls from the sky, it returns greenery
in trees, it returns it supplies nourishment for seeds. That's
when rain go. When God gives his word. God don't
(05:49):
give you his word without a return. Open your mind
to God's word, man, it has a return value to it, y'all.
Get into a get into your face and understand what
God is saying to you. Don't let nobody fool you
with all this Illuminati conversation and all this foolishness. Right here.
God is real, man, God is very very real. He's
(06:12):
the truth of the matter. Sit up here and let
these people talk you into some oakie dope that ain't real.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
God is real, man.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
That Bible been around system, you don't even know what
it wasn't around.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Every word in it.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Check it, truth, check it because it's truth.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Get into your faith, y'all. God loves you, man, it'd
be the best thing for you. Talk to God. He
loved hear for me. If you don't have faith, ask
God for son. Do that today, have a good.
