Cater 2 U

Ladies, Ladies!

Remember the song by Destiny's Child called, "Cater 2 U"? I don't know about you, but that was my soooong. :) It was so, soooo sexy and I was always swaying my hips around the house while singing it to the top of my lungs! LOL! Can I get a witness? Anybody?? hahahah!

No doubt the fellas were feelin it too. Finally, a song that promoted a woman finding value in taking care of her man. And as ladies, we signed up for it...at least for the moment. But soon the song's popularity faded, another song became the next hit, and the fellas were left gettin their own do-rags and slippers.

Now I'm a modern day woman just like you. Working hard to build a career that I'm proud of, all while I tend to the needs of my family...and they are ever growing! :} It's no easy task. But I think some of us, in this modern society, no longer value taking care of our men. We call them lazy if they ask for a glass of water, horn balls if they wanna have sex often, and pathetic if things in their hustle go south. We let ourselves go and then badger them about how we look in "that" dress. We give our Pastors more respect than we do our men and then wonder why they have absolutely no interest in joining us at the Sunday service. Our men want our love, devotion and respect. Lest we give it to them, we both stand to suffer. They need what we have to offer: the gentleness of our femininity, our commitment to be whole and happy, and our respect for what they're trying to accomplish. So ladies, if you got a man that's doin his thing, hustlin to put all the pieces together so you can be happy...then perhaps you might wanna rethink meeting some of those small, basic, seemingly trivial needs. Chill and take another approach that will honor him. I'm positive that it will be a gift that keeps on giving... :)

Love,
