Topic: If I had just listen to momma and daddy……..
After watching that video I saw myself in that video as a teen. I remember wanting to experience the world on my own. I remember my mother saying, “Son I just don’t want you to experience the pain I have experienced.” I would say mom that’s the only way I can learn. I remember when I experienced my first heart break. The first person I called was my mother. I didn’t realize how painful life was. I remember a song that was hit in my day. It was my mommas favorite song. It was called mamma used to say by an artist named Junior. Listen to the lyrics Mama used to say, Take your time, young man, Mama used to say, Don't you rush to get old,Mama used to say, Take it in your stride,Mama used to say, Live your life. I see it was your momma favorite song also.
Youth Has there been a time in your life where you had found yourself in so bad that you wished you had never gotten yourself into? It was a situation that you could have’s avoided altogether because it was a situation that you had no business involved in the first place. It was a situation that had all the warning signs and all the red flags waving before your very eyes, but you chose to ignore the warning signs and the red flags as warnings. And at the end of the situation, you found yourself saying these words to yourself:
“If I had just listen to momma…..”
“If I had just paid attention to what my parents were trying to tell me back then……”
“If I had just did what daddy had told me to do…..”
Now let me talk to the adults have you ever found yourself saying…
“If I had just listen, I would not be in this trouble, I would not be broke and homeless, I would not have dropped out of high school or college, I would not been pregnant out of wedlock, I would not been expelled out of school, I would not have been fired from my job……… If I had just listen to my momma or if I had just listened to my daddy………
