Today is Good Friday.
Thank you, Jesus for your amazing and unthinkable sacrifice. You died so that we would have life, and life in abundance.
โIt was nine in the morning when they crucified him. The written notice of the charge against him read: the king of the jews โฆ With a loud cry, Jesus breathed his last. The curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. And when the centurion, who stood there in front of Jesus, saw how he died, he said, โSurely this man was the Son of God!โโ
Mark 15
2021: I found out my uncle and aunt were divorced. They hadnโt told the family.
2022โ2024: They kept showing up to family events together like nothing had changed.
2024: My grandpa passed away.
2026: My uncle finally admitted theyโd been divorced all along and only hid it so it wouldnโt upset my grandpa.
Ironically, my grandpa was the one who told me back in 2021.
I went to a salon to barb last week and this pretty little girl came with her dad. While the dad was barbing she came to me and started a conversation.
"Uncle why do you have long hair like my mommy?"
Me: Because men too can have long hair.
Girl: Do you want to barb it?
Me: Yes!
Girl: No! Don't barb your long hair
Me: Do you like it?
Girl: Yes! (She left as her father looked at her. But a few seconds later she returned)
Girl: Uncle, can I see your power?
Me: I don't have power.
Girl: You have power (squeezing my arms)
Uncle can I plait your hair?
Me: Yes! (She twisted my locks until her dad was done. But she was not done so we negotiated with the dad to let her finish. The father waited.)
When she was done she asked me to pay her for the services. I was stunned. The father said I should not worry and I said no I had to pay the young woman for her services.
Only a daughter can make a grown man humble enough to be braided and keep 2 grown men patient enough for her to finish braiding without complaints.
Daughters bring this softness to a man's life that we can't explain, which is why I will also need a daughter.
