LOVE 2020: LOVE CARES

Good Evening …

I hope you had a good day today –

We have made it past the mid-point of the week,

And I pray that your week is going well

A couple of days ago, I wrote about the need to love living

It is so important –

However, I also realize how difficult that may be for some people;

They are not sure if they will ever love living again;

And it is not that they want to die – they just don’t want to go on living the way they are

Whether it is past regrets, a bad habit that cannot be shaken,

The intense sadness and loneliness of losing a loved one, health issue, financial reversals.

                Or a combination of all these things

It makes it exceedingly difficult to love living

And to all of those people [all of us people] I say,

Love cares … and love speaks cry

The LORD, who is love, cares for you – and everything that concerns you

He cares when you’re overwhelmed,

He cares when you are consumed with sadness,

He cares and is there every time you shed tears of sorrow – internally and externally

Psalm 56:8 captures the thoughts of a psalmist who may have been hurting –

                Just like the people I just described,

Yet he speaks from a place of quiet confidence,

‘You [LORD] keep track of my sorrows.

You have collected all of my tears in Your bottle

You have recorded each one in Your book.’

That is powerful that He takes account of every tear;

Because I lose count of the tear drops in just one crying session

Yet, He is present for every single one.

He speaks cry …

Several years back, I was watching a conference online –

The guest speaker was pastor and teacher, Sheryl Brady.

And as she was sharing her heart about the presence of God, she noted:

”He even understands what the tear meant that rolled down your face in the middle of the night across the bridge of your nose onto your pillow … He hears and He knows. He knows what you’re saying and He knows what you’re not saying…” 

It made me think back to when my children were small and the cries they would make:

There was a cry that meant ‘Change me’ and there was the cry that meant ‘Feed me’ and the cry that meant ‘Burp me, please … I am about to explode!’  There was the cry that said ‘I’m sleepy’ and, of course, there was the cry that simply meant, ‘Please hold me ... I just need to know you are near.’ 

I love them more than I could ever express,

And I wanted nothing more than to tend to every need.

Yet, even with all the love I had [and still have] as a parent – GOD’S LOVE IS GREATER

Our Heavenly Father loves us more than any parent ever could

And He, also familiar with our cries, hears our cries –

He knows the meaning of every tear, every sob, every sigh. And when we weep, shedding more tears than could ever be counted by us, crying what becomes a flowing stream or river, He sees each individual tear and can tell what each one represents. He knows what each one means without us speaking a word:

• §       He knows the cry that begs ‘Change me … I cannot change myself’
• §       He translates the cry which says ‘I am hungry for YOU … please feed me'
• §       He understands the cry that screams ‘I am about to explode!’
• §       He knows that one tear that says ‘I am so tired I don't know what to do’
• §       He comprehends the river of tears which whisper ‘I need You to hold me, to know that you are not only near, but here.'

He cares for that which concerns us (I Peter 5:7) and He loved us all so much that He sent Jesus to die for us (John 3:16). He cares for you.

He speaks every language under heaven and ...

He speaks, understands and responds to ‘cry’

Be encouraged dear friends and know I am praying with you and for you …

Have a Blessed Evening…

LOVE 2020: LOVE LIVING ...

Hello Friends!

I hope you had a good day today –

I am so glad to spend a few moments with you today –

Continuing our talk on LOVE,

And today I would like to share some thought on our need to love living

This post occurred to me when I was driving home from church yesterday

Something caught my eye –

to such a degree that I had to turn my car back to get a picture

And this was it –

Some delicate pink roses, growing in the midst of a mess

Twisted, dried up branches, dead leaves, you name it

But there were these roses – and mind you it is still winter for another month!

As I drove farther along, I came across these:

There was a press on my spirit:

BLOOM WHERE YOU ARE PLANTED

BLOSSOM WHEREVER YOU FIND YOURSELF – NO MATTER THE SITUATION

DEFY THE ODDS AND DO WHAT THE LORD HAS CREATED YOU TO DO

“For we are to God the pleasing aroma of Christ among those who are being saved,

                And those who are perishing” II Corinthians 2:15

But what does this have to do with ‘loving living’?

Life will not always be pleasant –

Indeed, you may go through some seasons where it seems like all is failing

But you must not let that discourage you or rob you of your joy

Even if you do not love your life circumstances at the moment,

                It is possible to love living …

There are some dark, tangled places –

     where only you have been appointed to bring beauty;

Places where the LORD has designated you

     to be a sweet fragrance and a shining light.

I know it is not pleasant – but is it is worth it

Several years back, the LORD asked me a question,

‘Will you stay in the fire long enough for someone else to see Jesus?’

It was a reference to the three Hebrew boys who were tossed in the flames

When you have a few moments, you should read it [Daniel, Chapter Three]

It is a compelling tale – not of how God kept His chosen servants from a fiery trial,

                But how He walked beside them through the flames,

                And the impact it had on all who were observing them

And this is what the LORD is speaking to us all:

‘When you pass through the waters,

     I will be with you;

And when you pass through rivers,

     they will not sweep over you.

When you walk through the fire,

     you will not be burned;

The flames will not set you ablaze.”

Isaiah 43:2

‘So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed for I am your God.

I will strengthen you  and help you; I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’

Isaiah 41:10

I put in a post just the other day,   

‘Thus far, you have survived 100% of the toughest moments life has thrown your way’

Even if you do not love everything about your life at this moment,

Love Living …

God is not through with you yet –

And He has good plans to prosper and not to harm you. [Jer. 29:11]

Have a Blessed Evening!

LOVE 2020: LOVE KEEPS ON GOING

Good Morning!

I trust you had a great Valentines’ Day yesterday –

I did … it was very relaxing and peaceful

The store was crazy yesterday!

People standing in line to get fresh chocolate-dipped strawberries

Flowers, chocolates and desserts were being purchased,

And, of course, all the fixings for dinner – lobster, shrimp, steaks

And now here we are –

The day after Valentine’s Day

The ‘specially packaged’ chocolates will be marked down 60%

The dozen roses which went for $25 yesterday – will be back down to $10

The cupcakes & cookies will be tagged at a discount

And the retailers will work to clear the shelves to set up or the next merchandising event

But what about the LOVE?

Do the feelings end? No …

Do the expressions of love cease? Certainly not!

Love keeps on going …

It goes back to something I said a couple of days ago:

Valentine’s is just an extra day to demonstrate love –

Love which we should be showing one another all year long

In fact, I would argue that some of the most meaningful expressions of love –

fall outside of Valentine’s Day

There is something about someone thinking of you –

                without all the expectations, obligation and reminders of a ‘formal holiday'

There are a thousand ways to show love and appreciation:

§  That short morning text message to say: I hope you have a great day;

§  A greeting sent – an actual physical card or note – to say I was thinking about you;

§  Getting the coffee that they like;

§  Taking the time to listen – truly listen to what they have to say;

§  Walking in grace and extending forgiveness when needed;

§  Being patient and honest …

These are just a few ways to make sure love keeps on going

And keep in mind …

“Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things’ 

I Corinthians 13:7 

Love never ends, it never fails … it never dies I Corinthians 13:8

Love keeps on going –

Keep celebrating love with those you love – every season, any reason

Have a Blessed Day!

LOVE 2020: HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

Good Morning &

       Happy Valentine’s Day!

It is finally here  –  Valentine’s Day!

I actually started celebrating with my sons yesterday

Again, Valentine’s Day is about all the people you love

There is nothing greater than LOVE!

“And now these three remain: faith, hope and love;

                But the greatest of these is love”

I Corinthians 13:13

That is pretty powerful –

Love is even greater than hope … and faith!

God’s words … not mine. Yet there is a solid explanation

We will talk about this verse in the coming days

But for today,

My prayer is simple,

That you will be able to spend some time with the one (or ones) you love

And, make room to show kindness to someone around you

You never know what someone is going through –

And you just might make their Valentine’s Day!

Have a Blessed Day & Happy Valentine’s Day!

LOVE 2020: IT'S ABOUT LOVE ...

Hello Friends

I do not normally do two posts in one day –

However, I had to run to the store this evening,

And, bless their hearts – the store was full of me,

Trying to find just the right Valentine’s Day gifts

The right card, sweets, flowers, balloons, chocolate-dipped strawberries

                You name and they were trying to grab it up

I felt bad for them … I mean, I could see the stress on their faces

One poor guy walked right away from the register and left his phone

SO – it made me feel a second post was warranted today

                One that reminds all of us that IT IS ABOUT LOVE!

NOW – I know I am probably the last one that should say it;

                What with all the fuss I make

HOWEVER – my fuss is always about the love associated with Valentine’s Day

                Not necessarily the commercialism

My heart was a little sad because I know some of those guys,

                Are still going to end up in an argument tomorrow,

                Because they bought flowers but didn’t send them to her job

                Because they bought chocolates but she’s on a diet

                Because they didn’t take her out for dinner

                Because they didn’t plan an evening in and cook dinner

THAT IS NOT WHAT IT IS ABOUT FOLKS –

And, since I am a lady, I would like to talk to the ladies for a moment.

This is not a contest with your girlfriends or co-workers,

                So you can brag on everything he did for Valentine’s Day

It is also not fair to get your feelings hurt …

especially if you did not take steps to make an equal fuss over him

Guess What? MEN LIKE LOVE, APPRECIATION and GIFTS TOO!

Just saying …

And, if you have not gotten him something,

spend the evening coming up with something.

There is a neat little company called Man Crates –

Now – it is too late to get anything for tomorrow;

However – you could make your own ‘Man Crate’, 

          filling it with his favorite beverages and snacks

Homemade coupons are always nice … get creative!

How about you cook him a meal – or the two of you cook a meal together and stay in?

Does he like golf? A gift certificate to a local golf course is a great idea!

Does he like firearms? A membership to a nice range is an excellent gift.

And these things do not have to be done tomorrow – because it’s Valentine’s Day

There are a thousand ways to show love and appreciation

Valentine’s is just an extra day to demonstrate the love –

The love we should be should be showing one another all year long

And, over the next couple of weeks 

     – YES THE POSTS WILL CONTINUE PAST VALENTINE’S DAY –

     We’ll be talking about some of those ideas – that do not involve purchasing anything

In the meantime …

Have a Blessed Evening &

Remember, It’s About Love!

LOVE 2020:SPECIAL & PRICELESS

Good Morning

I pray you had a fantastic day yesterday –

I have no complaints –

Well, let’s say I choose not to complain

I am trusting the LORD and He has been flooding my heart,

With an overwhelming sense of peace

So – a couple of days ago we talked about heart-break

However – today I would like to shift gears just a bit

Today – I would like to talk about a priceless love

You see, it is the hope for that special & priceless kind of love,

or the having found it and having lost it

which can be the source of so much pain.

And I get it – it is a wonder;

absolutely amazing, exciting, terrifying, strengthening and weakening,

                All at the same time

It fills you with such hope for the future –

                While at the same time causing a bit of anxiety that it could be lost

And understand, there are many counterfeits

All love is not that unique and special kind of love

I did not know … until I knew … until I truly experienced it

And even then, it was so overwhelming that I tried to deny it.

I would try to convince my friends that I was not enamored with him;

Their response?

‘No Zee, we’re not buying it … your entire being lights up every time you talk about him.’

They were right – I still smile every time I think about him

I’m smiling right now … listening to Frank Sinatra sing The Way You Look Tonight

And the beautiful thing about this special kind of love is,

It transcends all the ‘romantic’ notions of love

It is a kind of love where you find yourself praying for them –

                more than you pray for yourself

It is a kind of love where – when their birthday rolls around – you find yourself

                Praying to God and thanking Him for creating such an amazing being

It is a kind of love where their health and well-being is all you desire

It is a priceless kind of love

And, if you are ever blessed enough to experience it in this life –

Hold onto it with all you’ve got.

Tuesday – we talked about the heart-broken;

And among some of those who experience heart break at this time of year, are those who have been single for a long time; those who have yet to find their ‘special & priceless’ love

I know it is difficult. However, once you find it, you will agree it was so worth the wait:

That love, that person was so worth the wait – 

          and you will be glad you did not settle

Have a Blessed Day …

We’re Almost There!

LOVE 2020: BROKEN-HEARTED

Hello Friends,

I pray your day went well today –

I am still excited about Valentine’s Day and all things concerning LOVE;

However, I do realize that this is a challenging time of year for many people.

I believe, because I have focused on the multiple aspects of love,

that I do not find this time of year lonely – it invigorates me.

But, I know that is not the case for everyone

For those who find themselves alone at this time of year, it can be very painful;

Whether it be a temporary separation due to a deployment or work situation;

A more permanent situation due to a divorce or the loss of a loved-one;

Or the seemingly endless loneliness of always being single –

                Valentine’s week can be anything but romantic and joy-filled

My heart is heavy for those individuals tonight – all of them

There is nothing more painful than not being able to be with your loved-one

It is a heartbreak I would not wish on anyone

I have experienced first-hand the temporary pain of having a loved-one deployed;

I have had to deal with the sting of divorce;

I have experienced the sorrow of having someone I loved pass away suddenly;

I have endured the loneliness of being single – twice

and each no less than fifteen years in duration

I do not share that to minimize the pain someone is feeling;

Neither do I share it to say, ‘I know how you feel’ –

I could not possibly know how you feel – every situation is unique and personal

However, I can assure you that – no matter how bleak it feels – the grace of God is greater

The LORD has met me many times at the places where I have felt lonely, abandoned or sorrowful. And I have this comfort – and hope it will comfort you as well:

Thus far you have survived 100% of the worst moments that life has thrown your way;

                You are still here, breathing, living and full of purpose and possibilities

Do not be discouraged my friend –

Know that you are loved by a mighty GOD &

     He truly is working all things together for your good.

Dear LORD –

Father, I pray for all those whose hearts are heavy this evening;

I pray for all who might be missing a loved one,

Or who are feeling unloved because they have yet to find that special someone

Father, I pray that you would comfort them – this evening and all throughout this week

Let Your presence be tangible and let it bring peace and joy – and warmth

We know Your timing is perfect –

If there be any areas where growth is needed –

where preparation is required, for what You have prepared,

I pray Your Holy Spirit would lead and guide and instruct

Father, You said it is not good for man to be alone;

Guard every heart from the weight of loneliness tonight

I know the plans You have for us are good plans – to prosper and not to harm;

So we thank you in advance as pray all these things in the matchless name of Jesus - AMEN

Praying you all have a blessed evening …

LOVE 2020: ROMANCE

Hi There!

Let’s see if I can get this post up today – since it is almost tomorrow

I hope your Monday was fantastic

I have no complaints – and I have my eyes fixed on Valentine’s Week!

Yes – it is not just a day for me

And – in case you have not realized it yet;

I am a hopeless romantic!

I love everything about LOVE –

From the practical and general to the sky-high, give-you-butterflies kind of love

And, I love everything about ROMANCE

What is there not to love?

I would not attempt to define romance –

Especially since it holds such a highly individualized meaning for each person

However, for me, it some of the simpler things which scream romance

Sadly though, I believe true romance has died to an extent

In our hyper-sexualized world, some things have changed

The treasure of a fleeting glance has seemed to lost some of its allure

The sweet and simple [but still passionate] act of holding hands,

Seems to be diminished in value somehow

Yesterday we talked about the ‘little things’

And I have to say – the most romantic  moments I have experienced & witnessed,

                Have been those small but genuine gestures of affection

Telling someone to be careful when their driving;

It might seem like an inconsequential comment –

However, it speaks to someone who is genuinely concerned about another

That is romantic – at least to me

Being able to do ‘nothing’ with someone you care about –

                And having it feel like ‘everything in the world’

That is romantic …

Feeling comfortable enough to be yourself – to truly be yourself;

Sharing your most intriguing thoughts, deepest fears & wildest dreams,

That is romantic!

It is a connection – one that is not formed casually

It is a bonding and a ‘coming together’ intellectually

It is knowing someone and being know by them – and loving each other through it all

The ability to be ‘naked & unashamed’ emotionally – that is something amazing

Romance, Romance, Romance

I know – it is perhaps a bit too simplistic and naïve for some

However – it does something to my heart and I would not trade it for the world;

                Not during Valentine’s week … or ever

Have a Blessed Evening!

LOVE 2020: THE LITTLE THINGS

Hi There!

Sunday evening … already

Why does the work week go so slow and the weekend so quickly?

In any event – we are entering Valentine’s Week!

And, I already got my first present.

Or, I should say I already purchased my first Valentine’s Day present –

                An early present – some flowers for my Mom and she loved them!

She still gets as excited about flowers as she did when I was a teenager

                And that was many, many … many moons ago.

I used to buy her flowers every time I got my paycheck from my job

I think I have always been intent on letting the people I care about know it –

Whether it was buying flowers, writing a letter or placing a call;

I even recall one day going forty minutes in the opposite direction of home –

Taking a trolley and walking.

I wanted to hand-deliver a card for a dear friend of mine;

The funny thing is, I knew that this individual was not home yet.

However, I wanted that person to know, as soon as they arrived home,

that someone had been thinking of them that day

It made their day!

So, why share this tonight?

Because it is the small, consistent and genuine demonstrations of love that count

Over the past several days, I have spent a good deal of time –

                Talking about the love of God [our vertical relationship]

Now, we will talk about our love for and with people [our horizontal relationships]

And, there are so many cues on how to show love –

which can be taken from the God who is love

You see, our understanding of how to love others –

flows out of our understanding of God’s

Intentional, genuine, consistent, personal … demonstrations of love

In fact, there is a verse in Scripture which states:

‘Blessed be the LORD who daily loads us with benefits’ Psalm 68:19

And if we are to take our cues from this verse, it simply means:

There are daily opportunities to show love to those around us

It is the little things that often tend to make a world of difference!

SMALL GESTURES – GRAND EFFECTS

I am not saying that you should not get Valentine’s Day presents

What I am saying is that you should not wait until Valentine’s Day –

                to express your love and appreciation for someone.

Valentine’s Day should just be one more opportunity to show your love.

So why don’t you take some time this week to express & show your love –

                Even before Valentine’s Day even gets here

Have a Blessed Evening!

LOVE 2020: DEFENDING LOVE

Hi There – My Dear Friends,

I pray all is going well for you

Today’s post will be short – but powerful

At least to me …

And what is our topic this evening? DEFENDING LOVE

Several days ago, I wrote about LOVE THAT COVERS

Then we delved into the topic of UNFAILING LOVE

And for the past couple of days, we have discussed INTENTIONAL & AMAZING LOVE

Well – all of these aspects of love are essential when it comes to DEFENDING LOVE

I had something happen today – received some news

And, while I am not able to go into detail of ‘what’ it was,

I can share with you ‘who’ was responsible for what happened;

ONLY THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY

There is something powerful when you know that there is someone who loves you;

Someone who is willing to do everything in their power to defend you;

Someone who has made you their priority – who makes your business their business

Someone who cares about the things that concern you – One who cares about you

Because when you love someone,

You do what you are able to shield & protect them from harm – not expose them to it

‘See, I will defend your cause and avenge you’ Jeremiah 51:36

‘Behold, I will plead thy cause and take vengeance for thee’ Jeremiah 51:36

‘I will take up your cause and will make your enemies pay for what they did to you’ Jeremiah 51:36

‘So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’ Isaiah 41:10

And the coolest thing was – while I was still praying about the situation;

He had already taken care of it – Three days ago!

His awe-inspiring action had overtaken my prayerful pleading ;

And I was not even aware.

“And it shall come to pass, before they call I will answer;

And while they are yet speaking, I will hear.’ Isaiah 65:24

What an amazing, intentional and DEFENDING LOVE!

I am overwhelmed ...

Have a Blessed Evening!

LOVE 2020: AMAZING LOVE

Good Evening Friends …

I made it through the week!

Seems a bit melodramatic?

Perhaps, but I actually had my doubts this week

In any event –

The weekend is indeed here

And, I get to spend a few moments with you

Today – we will be discussing … what else but love?

AMAZING LOVE!!!

It could actually be a Part II to our talk yesterday;

You see, Intentional Love & Amazing Love are closely inter-twined

In the book of Hosea in the Bible,

The LORD instructs the prophet Hosea to take a wife –

And not just any wife – a woman named Gomer

a “promiscuous woman”, a “harlot”, a “whore”

NOW – we do not have time here to delve into all of the ‘WHYS’

SO – for the sake of time, we will focus on the ‘WHAT’

AND – the ‘WHAT’ in the book of Hosea is a depiction of AMAZING LOVE

               

The LORD was specific and intentional in His direction

And the prophet was obliging

In our current, modern day, it would be akin to accessing the sex-traffic trade

                to find a bride

Now a relationship can be difficult enough if you get blind-sided;

     where you realize later that the individual you have chosen has problems with fidelity.

It is another matter entirely, choosing someone with known challenges

YET –

This is exactly how God love us

‘God demonstrates His love for us in that: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.’ Romans 5:8

‘[in His love] He chose us in Christ [actually selected us for Himself as His own] before the foundation of the world’ Ephesians 1:4 AMP

THAT IS INTENTIONAL & AMAZING LOVE

Now – in the story of Hosea,

He marries Gomer, builds a life with her, has a family with her

                But she ultimately goes astray – back to what is familiar

Sometimes we get so damaged in life – that we do not know how to receive love

But, goes back for her again, searching for her diligently – INTENTIONALLY

And Hosea finally finds her – with another man,

adding “adulteress” to the ‘flowery’ list of adjectives used to describe her

And he buys her back – to bring her back home again

AMAZING, DELIBERATE, INTENTIONAL LOVE

This is how the LORD loves each and every one of us!

He bought us back at an amazing price – with the blood of His Son

When we were lost in our sin, He came to take us for Himself,

                To cleanse us and make us whole

And we, like Gomer, still go astray – even after we have been redeemed.

And He diligently and purposefully searches us out and says,

‘Return to Me .. I AM still here ... I love you with an everlasting love’

AMAZING, AMAZING, INTENTIONAL LOVE!

I was listening to a song on my way home this evening –

‘Love Moved First’ by Casting Crowns

And there is a section of the song which states:

‘You didn’t wait for me – to find my way to You;

I couldn’t cross that distance – even if I wanted to;

You came running after me –

When anybody else would have turned and left me at my worst;

Love moved first’

INDEED!

THAT IS AMAZING & INTENTIONAL LOVE

Have a great evening … 

God Bless & Much Love  

LOVE 2020: INTENTIONAL LOVE

Good Evening Friends …

It is almost the weekend – and I cannot wait

While this season of love is my favorite season,

There were several things that I was not loving today

It is rainy and yucky tonight –

In fact, as I sat at the light on my way home, it went from ‘just starting to rain’ …

to ‘full-on' downpour, wind gusts and zero visibility’ in about 30-seconds

But it is not just the weather –

Today was ONE OF THOSE DAYS

It was one of those days which causes me to draw upon everything I write here.

So – today I would like to 100% transparent – as we talk about INTENTIONAL LOVE

There will always be days when you do not like some of the things that people do;

                Or the people that do them

And on those days, you have to make a conscious decision to love people;

understanding that there are days when people don’t like you [or what you do] also

Most days I am able to handle it pretty well.

Even as a read a verse this past …

I felt that I could not co-sign the sentiments of the psalmist

The verse read ‘Cut off my enemies and destroy all those who afflict my soul’ Ps. 143:2

But – that is not my desire

Truly it is not … most days

Today was a different kind of day

Today was a “God, I want You to get them now” kind of day

But I know that was just my sinful flesh rising up

And something happened later this evening as I sat in my car, watching the rain fall

I had to stop and think –

I had to think about all the times He mercifully kept me;
     where He did not 'get me', but instead spared me

I also had to stop and think about the fact this attitude,
     my attitude, was not His will

It was not reflective of the character that He has been cultivating;
     it did demonstrate the spiritual development He was been crafting,
     through all of these challenging circumstances


He is developing in me peace; not strife
He is developing in me patience; not frustration
He is developing in me kindness; not bitterness and vengefulness
He is developing in me long-suffering; not short-temperedness

If you have any interactions with people at any point throughout your day –

                There will be occasions to be offended

In fact, Jesus [the LORD of all things possible] said,

‘It is impossible that no offenses will come ...’ Luke17:1

We are encouraged not to be easily offended [Col. 3:13]

And – as much is possible – our aim should be that we not be the cause of offense

INTENTIONAL LOVE

It is not an easy thing

But, it is a God-honoring thing

AFTER ALL –

“The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control” Galatians 5:22

AND –

I … I am still a work in progress

I had a dear friend, someone very special to me;

And when I would get frazzled and frustrated – going on a rant,

They would simply say, ‘Tomorrow is a new day…’

And with that, I will say, ‘Good Night…’

Praying you have a blessed day tomorrow

God Bless & Much Love
