When Generic Isn't Covered....

Divorce used to be rare....Couples would tough it out....talk it out...make the best of bad situation. There were more than 2.5 kids...the cubbard was never bare...and kids were taught morals.  Those were the days that a "village" raised the kids...the kids were respectful to elders and each other...no internet, no cell phones...just a boom box and a tv that mostly collected dust.
But times are different.  Being in a relationship suddenly became work.  Single mothers and fathers are heads of the household. The children raise themselves. Not based on true role models, but random stars on tv that they "think" are worthy of duplication. 
No longer is it easy to find a man that recognizes that he is the head of the household..God fearing... makes the decisions...pays the bills...and is respectful to his mate. No longer is it easy to find a woman that supports her man....knows God and the power of prayer....takes care of household chores...and raises her children to depend on themselves and not something or someone....
So...we settle for generic. Knowing.....that particular person IS NOT for us.  We know that all the warning signs are there.  Still, we move forward. He's cute (but lazy)....She's fine (but nasty)....drives a nice car (but doesn't pay their bills).....that's ok....we can work through that.....
Well...Um....let me tell you my response to that.........HELL TO THE NO!
GENERICS AREN'T COVERED. When it comes to ur life, ur kids lives, ur destiny should not be compromised bc ur tired of waiting.  Don't you know GOD IS FAITHFUL? Don't you know that God is THE NAME BRAND of all times? Do u trust Him?
The next time u try and lower ur standards bc ur tired, remember that Generics aren't covered. Have more respect not only for self, but for ur destiny.
I rambled Mista....sorry....ur turn.


Hmmmm.. So RO, thinks "generics aren't covered" is that always or usually? ... It's very hard for us mere mortals to adequately understand the word, always. In today's culture we don't adequately understand this kind of commitment. When we say always, don't we usually mean sometimes.... or most of the time? But always really means eternal and everlasting......... Can anyone commit to always?..... ijs ..... Mista, soooo want his wife to be and children to honor him with the kind of love that..... always protects.... always trusts.... always hopes..... always perseveres... that kind of commitment allows .... Mista to be a man who is known for his word... "when Mista says something, you can take it to the bank."..........

Mista 13 cents advise, "Just do what you say you are going to do." Then as we become older and look back over life's journey, may be then we'll know that kind of love....... and what it encompasses.... is indeed the true values of life..... that with God's help, our mates and family... will know.... that you will always... love them.
