Hello everyone, thanks for stopping by. As black history month comes to a close I would like to reflect on an eye witness to history. Mr. Dosh Jackson is 103 years old. What a blessed and lengthy life he has lived. Born Feb. 22, 1911, in Macon, GA, Jackson is the father of four children and has six grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren. Jackson has lived through the civil rights movement until the election of a black President. He has surely seen a lot in his lifetime. What is significant about your life? What have you contributed to the world in your time here on this earth? It is not how long you live but what you do with the time you live that matters. Jesus died at 33 and did much more than any of us could hope to achieve. Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King died at 39 and accomplished so much in his short time here. So remember that while it is a blessing to live a long life it is more of a blessing to leave your mark on the world. Dare to make a difference. Be extraordinary and make the life that you live one that has meaning. Don't waste your days doing idle things that serve no purpose or have no value. Embark on endeavors that will create a place in history that leads people to sing your praise and that will have others remember you in the years to come. Who are you in this world? You are a child of the almighty God and he has many expectations of you. Do the impossible, live your dreams, contribute something worthwhile to the world in the time you have left. Be a blessing to someone if you can. God will reward you tenfold. The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be. –Ralph Waldo Emerson. As always be blessed and prosperous and always keep God first in your life.
