From a very wise momma

A Sunday morning message for those who tend to judge and those that tend to feel judged….

This morning we had a self declared express yourself Sunday. The only real rule was Sunday attire. So it was a “yes” for the more questionable attire. If it worked for them and they felt good it was a go. We may not have a thematic color scheme or look like the poster advertisement for going to church.

And. That. Is. Okay.

The kids are going to church.
They are happy.
There are ready to learn about Jesus.
They will be too loud.
They will crawl on pews.
They may raise their hand in worship.

They have what it takes to be bold. Not fit the mold. Stand up for Jesus. Church isn’t a checkbox. Living for Jesus is a lifestyle.

So take your kids today.
Take them loud.
Take them with the Elsa dress and sandals at 50 degrees.
Take them tired.
Take them with all the excuses in the world not to.

It matters💛

Soooo.... I have had a few small businesses in my years. From working in my mom’s salon when I was 12 to getting my apprenticeship at 15.. working on clients with early dismissal until 10 pm. To owning a salon or two or three, to buying a mini mall with my hard earned money.. adding tanning, fitness to the salon. Rental units for other small businesses. Opening a coffee shop & restaurant in vacant sections of our mini mall.. employing sometime 24 people . Opening opportunities for work and on the job college credits. Me going back to school ( I paid for it) getting my educator license , teaching, teaching on platform for manufacturers. Online classes for photography ( I paid for them) getting paid for my photo work. Retired and now working part time still in cosmetology… while taking on line classes to learn how to raise cattle. Receiving my Master Beef Producers certification .. and enjoying the fruits of that labor in four new calves. I have never in almost 60 years charged someone for work they did not want. Now, let's discuss student loan forgiveness. I chose not to go to a 4 year college. Although both are just about used up, my common sense and body have served me well. The current administration of our great country wants to take my tax dollars to pay off college loans for people in order to buy their vote for a man who is in the process of ruining our economy and turning America into a 3rd world country. I didn't ask anyone to pay for any of the equipment , education, or online courses I needed for the above mentioned businesses and I never charged anyone for anything they didn't want. I DON'T WANT TO PAY OFF YOUR LOAN!!!! Thank you, have a great day
