"Love and Support"

I was honored to have my little sister pay me a visit for a couple of days a couple of weeks ago. We had a lot of fun with the kids. We decided to go to a comedy show to see a certain comedienne. She said something so poignant at the beginning of her long set.

She proceeded to speak to the ladies in the audience by relaying a telephone conversation that she had with her girlfriend one morning. She calls up her girlfriend:


Comedienne: "Girl, he woke up this morning talking about he wanted to be an astronaut."


Girlfriend: "So, what did you do when he told you that? Did you laugh at him?"


Comedienne: "Nah girl, I went on in there and sewed my man an astronaut uniform. He's leaving right now girl, look out your window."


Abundant laughter ensued!!!


"Love Iand Support."


I know I want "Love and Support" from the one that I "Love and Support." How about yo


Ladies, if your man wakes up and says that he wants to change career paths and be a "Plumber," then you need to go out and buy him a designer toolbelt from TJMaxx or Marshalls to give the haters a reason to hate, but more importantly because you "Love and Support" him.


"Love and Support."


Gentlemen, if your woman wakes up and decides that she wants to change career paths and be a "Nurse," then you need to go out and make sure that she has some monogram scrubs to give the haters a reason to hate, but more importantly because you "Love and Support" her.


"Love and Support."


If you have a man that Loves and does for YOUR child, if and when needed, up to and including randomly, even better than your baby's daddy, then you better "Love" that man and give him ALL of your "Support" because he damn sure "Loves and Supports" you!


"Love and Support."


Once an aspiring Hip-Hop Artist, my ex-wife made T-Shirts with my logo plastered on the front and/or the back with my website underneath to demonstrate her "Love and Support" for my goal. She negotiated my travel arrangements to and from another state so that I could record the last 3 songs of my Hip-Hop CD.


"Love and Support."


If your man writes from his heart and pours out his testimony in the form of Blogs and his upcoming book, then do not be the only person that does not comment. Demonstrate your "Love and Support" by SHOWING your "Love and Support."


"Love and Support."


"Love" will allow you to "Support" the one that you "Love."


Your "Support" for the one that you "Love" will demonstrate the fact that you "Support" them in the name of "Love."


For if you do not "Support," then you do not "Love," because if you truly "Love," then you will undoubtedly "Support."


Do you "Support" the person that you claim to "Love?" Will they agree with whatever your answer might be? If the answer is yes, then take a mental inventory of HOW you "Love and Support" the one that you "Love." Let there be zero ambiguity with respect to how you "Love and Support" them.


Let there be no question that the "Love and Support" that they provide you is no less than the "Love and Support" that you provide them. Otherwise, the "Love and Support" that you have grown accustomed to receiving will no longer be reserved to and for you. They might tender their "Letter of Resignation" (http://allthebestallthetime.blogspot.com/2010/01/letter-of-resignation.html).


Should my words fall on deaf ears, then re-read this Blog and look for the obvious "ex"ample contained within.


In order to receive the Blessing, sometimes you need to be the Blessing.


Be the same "Love and Support" as the "Love and Support" that you desire to receive.


Be that Blessing, so that you may in turn receive your Blessing.


Forever, "Love and Support."

:-) Great Advice. I always say you have to be your spouse's/boyfriend’s biggest cheerleader. Don't let anyone else praise him, encourage and love him better than you (even when he is not at his best)! Better get on his band wagon because someone else definitely will.

Hi Kimberly,

I absolutely, positively concur with you no less than 100%! Sometimes we only recognize "All the Best" in someone when we view them from afar, as they are holding hands with someone else, instead of "All the Time" with us.

WOW I totally get it :o). Some will NOT :o(. This is why we have such a high % of failed relationships and a even higher % of divorces.

Hi Lisa,

My contribution to those high percentages is demonstrative of the proof that is in the pudding. As Kimberly stated, "you better jump on the band wagon because someone else definitely will."

I'm glad that you get it! Prayerfully and one at a time, those percentages will dramatically begin to decrease.
