I initially was going to get into6300:05:16.079 --> 00:05:20.879one of the topics that a coupleof listeners of our, well several listeners6400:05:20.879 --> 00:05:26.000of ours who are friends of theshow, wanted us to touch base all.6500:05:26.120 --> 00:05:28.680I'm not going to get into itwith this particular episode, but they6600:05:28.720 --> 00:05:33.680are coming up today we're just goingto be straight random. Tall you know,6700:05:34.360 --> 00:05:38.279a lot of stuff going on inthe world, a lot of stuff6800:05:38.319 --> 00:05:42.600going on around locally, but forthe most part, you know, I6900:05:42.639 --> 00:05:46.879just want to take an opportunity toencourage you all. I just want to7000:05:46.879 --> 00:05:54.120take opportunity to drop a bit ofpositive energy in your ears today going forward.7100:05:54.160 --> 00:05:58.000That if nobody told you that theylove you today, guess what,7200:05:59.279 --> 00:06:02.879your boy old love you. Ilove you, and I tell you that7300:06:02.920 --> 00:06:08.199I love you all the time,because I do love you. But I7400:06:08.439 --> 00:06:14.120something was brought to my tension andI paid attention to that and I wholeheartly7500:06:14.160 --> 00:06:18.319agree with it. We will allmade and built to love, but it's7600:06:18.360 --> 00:06:26.319a difference when you adding there tolike a person. So, even though7700:06:26.360 --> 00:06:30.399I do love you, I likeyou all also. So that's a huge7800:06:31.560 --> 00:06:36.800advance. Add on to that,and I thought about it. I'm like,7900:06:36.839 --> 00:06:43.240even in relationships, you can loveyour spouse, you can love that8000:06:43.279 --> 00:06:45.680person that you with, you canlove your friends, you can love your8100:06:45.720 --> 00:06:49.399siblings, your mom and everything,but it's a difference when you like them8200:06:49.879 --> 00:06:54.040because, see, when you likethe person, then you enjoy being around8300:06:54.160 --> 00:07:00.040them, you enjoy their company,you enjoy your interactions with them. You8400:07:00.160 --> 00:07:05.759enjoy whatever it is that you enjoyhearing from them, you enjoy of just8500:07:05.839 --> 00:07:11.000doing things, just being around.I'm just just just a small little thing8600:07:11.000 --> 00:07:14.720as you enjoy all of that,even if the two of you have a8700:07:14.759 --> 00:07:18.199sped or a disagreement of whatnot,guess what, it comes right back.8800:07:19.360 --> 00:07:26.639So I never thought about it,but that conversation we had it made me8900:07:26.680 --> 00:07:30.560take a deeper and better look atit that. Hey, we were made9000:07:30.600 --> 00:07:36.279and created to love. Loving iseasy. It's easy to grow to love9100:07:36.399 --> 00:07:46.480someone, but it's a complete differencewhen you like that person. Do you9200:07:46.519 --> 00:07:53.759like your spouse? Do you likeyour girlfriend or boyfriend? Do you like9300:07:53.879 --> 00:08:00.319your siblings? Do you like yourcoworkers? Do you like those that you9400:08:00.480 --> 00:08:07.000call friends? It's a valid questionand it's something I want you to think9500:08:07.040 --> 00:08:13.079about. You can love them,yeah, again, that's easy, but9600:08:13.199 --> 00:08:18.439do you like them? And Ithink that's something that we should all take9700:08:18.439 --> 00:08:28.319a look at in life to furthercultivating those relationships that we have. Like9800:08:28.360 --> 00:08:31.720I said, well, that's withoutloved ones, whether it's with a coworker,9900:08:31.799 --> 00:08:37.039whether it's with family, spouse,whatever the case may be, children,10000:08:37.360 --> 00:08:41.159whatever the case may be, it'stake a look at that, because10100:08:43.000 --> 00:08:50.639I think that if we can growin that particular area, we can definitely10200:08:50.639 --> 00:09:01.720continue to grow as people and againcultivate and those relationships to even higher standards.10300:09:01.759 --> 00:09:07.639Just my opinion, just my opinioneveryone, but I think you all10400:09:07.679 --> 00:09:11.759feel me on that. So takea look at that. You never know,10500:09:13.840 --> 00:09:22.360never know. I have a coupleof interviews coming up with US sit10600:09:22.440 --> 00:09:26.080down guests, that I'm really excitedabout, really looking forward to.

Something else is on mymind that I want to just put out13700:12:09.399 --> 00:12:20.320there. It doesn't cost anything tobe nice to someone. It doesn't cost13800:12:20.440 --> 00:12:31.679anything to share a positive word,it doesn't cost anything to give someone an13900:12:31.720 --> 00:12:41.320encouraging word, a smile or anything. We are ready dealing with enough negativity14000:12:41.440 --> 00:12:48.519in this world today. We areready to dealing with that. The last14100:12:48.519 --> 00:12:56.200thing that we need to do isbring more negativity among each other. That's14200:12:56.240 --> 00:13:05.559the last thing that we need todo people. So I want to encourage14300:13:05.600 --> 00:13:11.360you to take a moment, whetherit's a stranger, whether it's a loved14400:13:11.399 --> 00:13:18.120one or the someone you see inpassing, I want to encourage you to14500:13:18.200 --> 00:13:22.879take a time, take a momentto give that person an encouraging word,14600:13:22.440 --> 00:13:28.320to share a positive message, witha positive thought with them, just say14700:13:28.399 --> 00:13:33.039hi and give them a smile,whatever the case may be. Let's take14800:13:33.120 --> 00:13:37.559a moment to do that. Younever know what that person is going through14900:13:39.039 --> 00:13:48.039or what they're dealing with or howyou just doing that at that particular moment15000:13:48.159 --> 00:13:54.279will impact that life, not juston that particular day but going forward.15100:13:54.399 --> 00:14:00.919That's they may say. You knowwhat, somebody actually took the time out15200:14:00.919 --> 00:14:03.879of the day just to speak tome, just to say hello and just15300:14:03.919 --> 00:14:09.919to ask me, am I okay? You never know how that a pack15400:14:09.039 --> 00:14:18.000that person going forward, and that'ssomething that I think we all should strive15500:14:18.080 --> 00:14:22.000forth and doing. Now. I'mnot saying that something that you have to15600:14:22.039 --> 00:14:28.759do. I'm not trying to,you know, boguards you into doing anything15700:14:28.799 --> 00:14:33.840like that, by by no means. But I'm asking and I'm encouraging you15800:14:33.159 --> 00:14:41.200to do so because it costs nothingto do it. You know, I15900:14:41.360 --> 00:14:48.120see you, I'll definitely do thesame and it's something that I look forward16000:14:48.200 --> 00:14:54.480to doing daily. That something thatI strive to do. It's something that16100:14:54.559 --> 00:15:03.840I that's that's in my heart todo. It something because it it's it's16200:15:03.879 --> 00:15:07.200how I'm built. It's something thatI used to see my mother do also.16300:15:09.200 --> 00:15:13.120You know, when my mom gaveher life to God, my mom16400:15:13.200 --> 00:15:16.159was already a nice person anyway.You know, she had her ways,16500:15:16.200 --> 00:15:18.240and I don't give me wrong,now, my mom will cut you out16600:15:18.279 --> 00:15:22.879with the best of them.

Butwhen my mom gave her life to God,17000:15:39.600 --> 00:15:48.679then my Mama began to care moreabout her community, care more about17100:15:48.759 --> 00:15:52.919other folks. I mean she alreadydid anyway, but just begin to take17200:15:52.960 --> 00:15:56.200a moment to say, Hey,you know, are you okay?

My mom wantedto make sure that what there was a17800:16:22.919 --> 00:16:26.559stranger, where there was someone sheknew, whether it was a church member,17900:16:26.559 --> 00:16:30.159whether it was a family member orwhatnot, she wanted to make that18000:16:30.320 --> 00:16:33.559hey, they were okay and therewas anything that any type of positivity that18100:16:33.600 --> 00:16:41.720she could pour into them.
