Lord please grant us your loving grace and mercy as we try to deal with the things we cannot control in this life.

As we all get older some people are complaining that life has not been fair to them. I on the other hand, thank God for allowing me and my siblings to see another day. Life is becoming more challenging by the day for all of us. The high inflation cost, the pandemic that won't go away and etc. For the Martin's, everything in our lives have not been as rosy as others, but we as a family are still close. I'm very happy to report that, our overall health is not the best, but we are still checking on each other. This is the way our mother raised us up to be like. We have had our disagreements like in other families have gone through. However, thanks to our God-fearing mother, who said we are each other's keepers, we plan to continue using that practice. I hope that you are doing the same in your family relationships. I have learned from my many years of growing older that your family is the only people who will cover your back in an emergency.

In these challenging times, where inflation is on the rise, some people have not returned back to work, some companies are refusing to give their employees wage increases and etc. In this situation, it is imperative that you and your FAMILY stay in touch. The definition of FAMILY is more important than it has been in the past. So, kindly reach out and touch somebody as you never know how it may help bring enjoyment into their lives. My mother, MOTHER MARTIN, taught all of her 13 children that this is the best way to live our lives.

As you grow older in life, if you have family members who grow older as well, you will have to encounter a period when you may lose a loved one. When this occurs, you can't do anything about it but grieve. If I told you that you will get over it, I'm lying. We have recently loss a dear uncle of ours and it hurts. I'm glad that I took the time to tell him how much I loved him many times, and he told me he loved us as well. The lesson that I learned is that you can never tell someone you love them enough. So, if you have cousins, aunts, uncles, brothers and sisters, and etc. showing them love as many ways as you can, please do so. When you show some love to someone, they will feel it. However, if you choose to show love only when it is convent to you, the people on the other side will feel that as well. Be for real in showing your feelings and do your best, because I'm rooting for you.

With sadness in my heart, we just lost our last uncle from my mother's side, Paul Ervin and it hurts terribly. As I have grown older, I now realize more than ever how important it is to be close to your family. The old saying is that you can't pick your family as we all know the truth in that process. However, love for your family should never waver as you will feel the pain when they are no longer here. I loved spending time with my uncle as he was fantastic to me and my brothers and sisters. As you know by now, it was 13 of us in the Martin household and we needed financial help on many days. This uncle came through for us when so many others just walked away. As I grew up, I tried my best to do the same by giving as much as I could to the family members who was less fortunate than I. Hence, God has been good to me and my family. I believe it is because of me showing love like my uncle Paul whenever you can to the people you love, you can sleep at night. Meanwhile, kindly pray for me and the Martin's as we get through this difficult time of grief.

As the new year approaches, 2022, I hope that each of you make a commitment to do something special for a loved one of yours. I have already warned you from previous articles not to take these irreplaceable individuals for granted as that would be major mistake. In my life, I have not long along lost my youngest brother and that hurt like hell. No one expects life's journey to send us this twist and turns but that is how life is. No one has all the right answers. However, what you can do about it is show some love whenever you can, because when you show real love, the other person on the other side will feel it. This is my wisdom tip for all of you who elect to read this post. Happy New Years !!!!!

As the thanksgiving holidays wind down, I hope that each of you who are reading this post have had a spectacular time enjoying your holiday dinner. In reading the news clips noted on TV and also online, there are so many people still without food in this country and that is ashamed. There are also plenty of families that are unable to get together this year due to the pandemic still thriving, As I was eating my food at the table this year, I reminded my children and grandchildren that we are blessed to have food while so many others are starving. Plus, no matter how old we get, we should never forget to thank God for our good blessings. I believe that if we thank God as we live our daily lives, hopefully he would shower us with his grace and mercy. My grandmother and mother told my brothers and sisters that we must think of others during these holidays and should do for others whatever we can. If we can successfully follow this teaching in our lives, our family lives will be richer and more rewarding. I believe that your parents have told many of you the same, if you choose to share kindness you will never be broke or hungry.

Over the weekend, unfortunately we lost a member of our family Henry Lewis Martin 11. Whenever a lost occurs, it brings must pain and sorrow to the family so if you are reading this note, kindly send us your prayers. During the time of grief, I have found that well wishes and love goes a long way in helping any one to deal with this difficult part of life. Thank God our mother told us some time ago that this situation will eventually cross our path. And when it does, it is imperative that we have a relationship with God. In having this relationship with God, when this unavoidable part of life crosses your door it helps to soothe the pain. At the end of the day, it still hurts and will be painful, but the sorrow will become a little more tolerable as God's love will see you through this process. To Martin family members every where, my prayer is that GOD will help us get through this difficult emotional period. Additionally, the immediate family members will be encouraged that when God takes a member of our family it is best even though we don't understand his purpose. I believe that God's love will pull us all through this together but it will take some time. Thank you for your prayers and well wishes.

The books and records of event planning show that there has been significant slow down in families hosting family reunions. Some of the professionals believe that this important tradition, especially in the black community, is primarily because of the pandemic. I believe there is some truth to that but don't let love and kindness of your family be put on the back burner. We must learn how to introduce a new form of communicating to each other so that our family tides do not fall apart. Using the zoom platform process is what we have been using and although it isn't the same as having the physical touch, it is better than nothing. These crazy times that we are going through will not go away any time soon. So, don't let that stop any of you from doing your part of reaching out to your family members , as for the older family members, they need contact more than you realize. Much love to all family members.

I have just had my booster shot and I feel so relieved that this is over. There are just too many people acting like they are doctors and are giving out advice on what you should do concerning the vaccine shots. I recall our mother telling us that when the outcome of anything is uncertain we are to pray and ask God for guidance and move ahead. Everything else is somebody telling you their opinion and that is often a 50/50 chance of success. If God is driving your car I believe that you will get to your destination.
