Delayed Consequences

Think about how you treat people and your actions toward them. Take a look in the mirror and ask yourself  "what are my actions?" 

When a loved one transitions to the next level and they have trusted their all to someone other than you don't target that person negatively and blame them. The consequences of your actions may not be realized until that moment. Think about what you have done to contribute positively and negatively to their life. Just because you are blood does not entitle you to privilege. What entitles you to privilege is your relationship to that transitioned person.

So just when you think you have got by with your negative actions the truth can slap you in the face. What I have learned is to treat people with respect, care for those who show you favor, think about the consequences of your actions and you will reap accordingly. As long as you are within God's will you are safe.

Do the right thing because delayed consequences can be hard to swallow.

Friend or Acquaintance

I know it's been a minute since my last post but I have a life lesson that has taken me until yesterday to realize. I want you to think about how many people you have in your life who have had your back and show love by actions. Many of us know people but really have only a few friends. Really think about that. 

My best friend for many years has been my mate, Robert, and my family knows him well. He has shown me a strength through much affliction that amazes me. Imagine if you have critical illnesses and then you lose your ability to see. How would you face life? I have gained much wisdom and growth by his teachings. He has embraced my family as his and my son as his pride and joy.

I truly love my best friend. Robert transitioned from this life yesterday, June 3rd, and it's like a part of me is missing. I will miss him. 

So evaluate your relationships and hold dear those who are truly your friend. I am so blessed to have had him in my life for over 25 years.
