Today's show is pre recorded. Y'all know what time. I don't know. Y'all have a sun giving them like a million bucks. Things in the stubs, not me, true good it together for stay, I don't join me. You gotta turn, You gotta turn to turn them out. Turn you lon't got to turn them out. Then turn the water the watery. Come come on your thing, huh. I show will a good morning everybody. You're listening to the voice, Come on dig me now, one and only Steve Harvey got a radio show, man o, man on man Wow. I think about all the things God has done for me is overwhelming at times. And I want everybody to have that feeling and to sharing that feeling of completion and satisfaction. And the only reason I got this, and it's the thousandth time I've said it, is because I formed a relationship with my creator. Period. That's it. That's it. That's it. I can't tell you as anything else else. You know, I've always had a strong work ethic. My father put that in me. My father's conversations with me growing up was always constantly about work hard, don't be lazy, be a man, do what you say You're gonna do YadA YadA, YadA, YadA YadA. Man. I was so tired of my father at times. I was going, Man, man, what is with this dude? Right here? Man? Every time we have a conversation, it's got to be about work. It's got to be about you know, man, doing your best, trying hard, you know, working, being honest, do what you say you're gonna do. But that was his mission. I can't tell you how much I appreciate that now. I can't even I can't even put it into words when I think about my old man and what he was to me, and I just saw, Man, I'm so grateful for that balance I had in my life. And then my father was a fighter. He fought on the weekends. You know. My father used to come home with his with his clothes toe off of him. He put a fresh shirt on and he go back. My mom used to talk about my father fighting all the times, Nick, why you are always fighting? You know a little bit of that rubbed off on me too, you know that that kind of got into me and I didn't understand that either, But then understand turned. My mother was a Sunday school teacher for forty years, so her conversation was never about fighting or anything. It was all about love and understanding and doing another that you would add him do unto you. My mom was a Sunday school teacher, so I learned about faith. I had to go to Sunday school, prayer meeting, Bible study, young people meeting, choire rehearsal. You know, I was a churchman so much I was actually looking that's got to be an alternative to this, you know. I want you know, And I was a little kid even I was thinking at one point maybe all to looking all because it's got to be something cooler than this going on every day. It got that crazy for me. But the balance between those two people created who I am today. And I want you to understand that the things that you are in your past have helped create who you are today. If you view it the right way, everything that has happened to you in your past has happened to you for a reason, and it's usually for the good if you view it that way. But if you, on the other hand, or a type of person who can't move forward because you are allowing your past to stop you from having your future, then you, my friend, are doing a disservice to your life. You are not honoring God's blessings. You are not taking advantage of the gain, knowledge, wisdom, and experience of your life. Example, if you are a woman and you are always talking about a former relationship, what he did to me. If he had not did this to me, I wouldn't be in this place today. I thought I had a man. Nah, I ain't got no man. A la la la la la. If you know he came along, I was doing just swell. He just came in and he just lied to me. He lied to me. Now that he did this to me, then he cheated, then he left. All of that that you're saying can very well be true. Have you thought that maybe maybe somewhere in God's infinite wisdom, that he knew that you had made a mistake in picking him anyway? Maybe he knew you had made a mistake in saying yes or I do to him anyway, or come on, move in? And so what he did was based on your decision now to say yes, I do, or come on, let's move in together. That was your decision. You ain't go to him about this one. You made this decision based on that decision. And all the negative things that started happening. He allowed you to get away from it. Now how you got away from it, It's always not the choice of ours. See you stuck on the fact that he left, that he walked out. But let me share this with you. When he was there, How good was he to you? How good was he for you? See? You got to you got to stare. You got to look at the blessing. The blessing is. Now you are on your own. Now you walk in your house. Ain't nobody in there with a disruptive spirit. Now you go home. You could take your clothes off and walk around like you want to. Now you go home, you can sit down and look at TV or catch your breath if you want to. Your kids don't have to see y'all arguing all the time. Have you looked at the blessing in it? But now, if you're gonna keep looking at the negative, then guess what. Now you can't move forward because you keep allowing your pass to keep you from moving forward. If God has bought you through it, why don't you move on from it? Look, you got through it. He gone, he ain't coming back. He got somebody else. So you're gonna sit there and just keep tripping costs. He gone and he got somebody else. Ain't pick yourself up. Thank God for the blessing. It didn't feel like a blessing. Why you was going through it, and all the pain of him leaving and the divorce and all that messed you up? Got it when you get through it, all of that. You ain't the first one being left. You ain't the first woman been divorced. You ain't the first woe been in a bad relationship. Pick yourself up, Thank God for the blessing, and move forward in your life, because maybe when you quit complaining, maybe you'll find out that God has something in store for you that he wants you to have, but he can't give it to you if you ain't grateful. So God gives you a blessing, but because you don't see it as a blessing, you ain't grateful for it. Now, guess what, You steady asking God to do something for you, but you ain't thanking him for what he's done for you, but you steady wanting him to do more. How does that work? How does that work? Man? That He should keep on giving you things when you ain't even working with the stuff he didn't gave you, And I don't know, and I'm just I'm just using that one example. It could go for me and too, vice versa, and so on and so far. I'm just using that as an example. Now why I laid on that one so long? You take that out with God? That's all just three. I ain't pointing fingers that nobody in nothing because I've been guilty on both sides of the coin. Who am I? But I'm just sharing with you what I had to do. I had to learn to stop allowing my past to interfere with my future. You're listening, ladies and gentlemen. We are here today, gathered for the radio show. This is not a game. This is a contest.

And seventy percent of workers say the thing they love most about the holiday time in the office is time off, followed by getting a bonus. Love those also in the survey workers say, right there, let's just address this one a time, because I see that there's some smiling going on amongst you. Yeah. See two things you can't do. What is get time off, get your same check, get some time off, and get a damn bonus too. And you need to make up your mind what you want the bonus. We need a bonus type effort. Okay, okay, check. So when we give you that, then the bonus is coming. When you give me what bush? When do we know we're working at bonus eeds? Well, first of all, let's just get this straight and understood. Okay, everybody in here get paid. Yeah yeah. Hostility though, thank you? Yeah, we don't need that. They never talk to you. What mold do you want outside? Joe chick? Okay? Can I ask a question, Shoka? The question is this. We are all working right right now, right now, we'll all work. Yes, we put in a good job. What level do we have to crank this up to to get bonus? That's why you have to crank it up to CEO level? What a minute? You are already to see that position is taken. You got one ceo? Yeah? Can we Well, do you understand what I'm saying? Get your bonus? Ceo? Every one, let me read on. I'll go in the survey workers say they look forward to the office holiday party. Yeah uh uh, although although they would give that up to get a bonus or more vacation. Back to that bonus. Yea, we stopped Christmas part why because of an incident at the party. I loud to see ol or the company to stand up and give us speech. He still have a made the statement that when he prayed, he prayed to himself. That stopped all Christmas parties. The room got quiet. And this, folks, is not a joke. This actually happened. He prayed a hoop to myself. That's why. That's why you shut that down. I'm scared because you didn't replace it with anything. Though we didn't get our bonus or or more vacation time. He actually cost you all your extra activities. Now did he did he give us a bonus before? Or did you give us one? I can't remember? Okay, na, see, okay, but some jobs, some jobs give you like turkeys, and we give out. We give all our turkeys away at Thanksgiving to the less fortunate, right right, which is a great which that makes us less fortunate than the CEO. Well, the reason you don't qualify for a bonus is because all of you have multiple supplemental income. You're causing me. You're not supposed to look at that who what? What do you think? He don't know that. I ain't posed to look I see one of y'all, I'm supposed to look at you now your concern sir, Yes it is. You see then everywhere I go, I see one of y'all. Every dog on.

Well, you don't want you don't want men getting your food, so you don't that one. And I would be happy to cook for you, okay, I would. We don't want to kill the CEO. So this is where we want to ask everyone does our office? Does the office? Does the CEO? And everyone? Do you think they do a good job of bringing holiday cheer to our workplace? No? Not this office. I'm sorry. This is why I jump off. I'm gonna say yeah, because I maybe doing way to ceo. Go WHI y'all not about to do one of my job this survey. Yeah, I'll tell you that much.

It is the Strawberry Letter. Oh lord, subject a father should never have to see that. Dear mister Harvey and miss Strawberry. I am a twenty two year old guy, and my girlfriend is twenty one. She still lives at home and she's a virgin, so we've been taking it slow in the sex department. I am falling in love with this girl, and I think she loves me. My birthday was two weeks ago and she treated me to dinner. As I was dropping her off at home, she told me to pull over before I got to her house so she could give me a surprise for my birthday. I pulled over a block away from her house. We started making out in the car, and then she leaned in and gave me a very special birthday present. It was something I had never received before, if you know what I mean. While this was happening, listen to this though. While this was happening, I wasn't paying attention to what was going on around me, and I certainly didn't notice that her dad had pulled up behind my card. Yes, yeah, yes, okay, I'll read it again, Okay, yeah, yeah, no, all right, So, like he said, he wasn't paying attention to what was going around going on around him, and he certainly didn't notice that her dad had pulled up behind the car. And at the worst possible moment. At the worst possible moment, her dad was right there looking through my car window. I screamed, I need a scream from you right here, Steve. Please, you can't scream too much. I love the way you scream. Come on, I screamed. My girlfriend screamed, and her dad yelled for her to get out of the car. He told me if he ever saw me again, he would put his boot in my white ass. Excuse me, but that's what he said. I'm a white guy and my girlfriend is black. So do you think he had a problem with the fact that I'm white? Or was he just mad about what his daughter was doing to me. I have been dating her for a few months and race has never been an issue. We have snucked to see each other once. Uh, we have snucked to see each other once since this happened. But I don't want to get hurt because my girl said her dad was very serious about what he said. She won't admit to her dad that it was her idea, and I don't blame her, but I don't want to look like the bad guy here. How can I fix things with her dad? Or should I just stay away from her? Please? Help well? You ask what is he mad about? Is he mad about the fact that you're white? Or was it what she was doing to you? And I say to you all of the above. He's mad at everything. He's mad at the fact that you were white. He's mad at the fact of what she was doing to you. You gotta put yourself in her dad's shoes if you can. You roll up on your daughter and she's pleasuring some guy okay, in her car. I guarantee you you would feel some kind of way to see your daughter in that way. But it just produces all kind of shock and hurt and disappointment from a parent that you can't even imagine. So I can't say that it's just one thing that her pops was upset about. Again, I think he's mad about every thing. The fact that you're white. I'm sure Adam shook and I'm not gonna lie to you about that because I'm sure that played a part. But again, all of this is just something. You know, you don't want to see your child doing this, Just like children say they don't ever want to see their parents getting busy, well, their parents certainly don't want to see it from their kid busting up in the dodey. Excuse me, I'm sorry, Okay, a little personal for you, didn't a nephew. I do suggest, I do suggest, though, young man, that you stay away, especially until things calm down, and I don't know that they ever will because of the lie that the daughter told the father that it was not her fault. So you know, her dad is just really angry and upset right now, and you're the last person he wants to see. So there's nothing you can do now. You know, there's a saying that says time heals all wounds. Maybe sometime in the future you can call if you really love her, because you said you love her, so you know, maybe you can call and talk to the father at some point. But right now, my suggestion, my advice to you, is to stay away from that situation because you will get hurt. Steve, oh boy, this is a boy. Boy, boy boy, we got daughters. Yeah, I understand everybody in this letter. I understand the boy, I understand the father. We have a situation. Yet the girl gave you a birthday surprise a block away from her house. Now y'all making out in Nicard, and she leaned in and get you a very special birthday pressent, and it was something I had never received before. You know what I mean. I'm going back in my mind right now, boy, I know exactly what you mean. While this was happening, I wasn't paying much attention to what's going on. Right You can't. You can't you focus this shus. The shot you guys are is open but to shut because you pure space in the back of your head. You're actually looking at your brain with your eyes and you ain't never seen that before, so you don't even realize it. But your eyes is wide open, but you can't see nothing but your damn braining. I knew you were gonna sing. Is happening? All right? Listen. We'll have part two of Steve's response coming up at twenty three after the hour. Subject up today's Strawberry letter. A father should never have to see that right after this. You're listening, all right, Steve, Come on, let's recap today's Strawberry Letters. Subject A father should never have to see that. This boy been dating this girl the two she twittered, was she a virgin? They've been taking it slow for sex, respectful, but he said falling in love with this girl things she falling in love with you. Your birthday was two weeks ago. She treated me to dinner. I was dropping off at home and she told me to pull over for I got to the house so she could give me a surprise from my birthday. I pulled over by block away from the crible me in a car. We started making out and here this way all hell, but she started uh leaned in and gave me a very special birthday press. You keep reading that over again, Very very very special because time and it was something that I had never received before. If you know what I mean, I know exactly exactly what you mean, because when it first happened, you don't know what to call sold. You was in here and it like you're being ravaged. It's like all your senses have been taken away. You have drifted off in two an abyss. The world doesn't stop turning for you. The car engine ain't o no more. You ain't in the car, You in heaven as the process continues. Your eyes, you say in the letter, when this was happening, I wasn't paying attention to what was going on around me. Boy boy, we know exactly what you do. You can't pay attention. You can't pay too much of nothing right now. You don't know where your hands are. You don't know why your teeth is gritting the way they are. You can't understand why your eyes is open but you can't see because your pupils are pointed the other way. You're looking at your brain and you've never seen it before. Uh. You just saying things that you speaking in a language similar to what church folk do back careful called the liberty good to all of this is going on? And then why you wasn't paying attention? You notice that her dad, You didn't notice that her dad had pulled up behind your car at the worst possible moment. Her dad was right down looking through my mind. What is the worst possible moment? Well, let me remind you, for those that have forgotten, the worst possible moment is to try to clamp the water holes. Yeah, why are you washing the car? But the first yeah, yeah, see you when you washing the car and you ain't got no niles alone it and you need to stop that stream of water from going on your car. You got to clamp it shut. Now you could run the risk of putting a hole in that hole. Really, it's what I'm saying about washing cars. So you are now at the wash the car moment, and her damn daddy is looking dead in the window. I would imagine at this point your head was facing the sealing. Your thoat was nothing but in Adam's apple. But the words that's coming out are these incoherent noises. Your dad, her daddy wants to bust that damn car winder. And then her dad was right there looking through my car winder. You notice it because it's somebody having a big black man looking at you. Why are you at the worst possible moment and all of a sudden you scream. The girl screamed, and her dad yelled her to get out. Cut told him if he ever saw me again, he gonna put his boot in my white ass. Now excuse me, that's what he's said, because I'm a white guy, my girlfriend black. Do you think he had a problem with the fact that I'm white? Yes, he had a problem with the fat you right then and now if you didn't know it before, you know it. Now ever can see you again, I'm gonna put my foot in your white ass because yes, he's got a problem with you being white. Right now, he didn't have to bring it up before, but now to you down here with his daughter, he didn't bought it up. I've been dating for a few months down race has never been an issue? What it is?

Going home for the holidays can be a nightmare for some people who dealing with bickering family can ruin anyone's holiday, but the real horror comes when it's time to go to sleep. Being forced to crash in either your childhood home or a relative place over Thanksgiving or Christmas, staying it can definitely get awkward, which is why it shouldn't surprise us that a new survey finds at fifty two percent of adults say they've made up some sort of excuse specifically to avoid uncomfortable sleeping arrangements over the holidays. Fifty two that's overhapp so you should. Yeah, if I can walk to my kitchen Friday, I have to thank you in my drag. There's a problem. Hey, listen to me. Why does holidays have to be for all family?

All right, coming up, it's Steve Harvey and his closing remarks. You don't want to miss it. At forty nine after the hour you're listening Steve Harvey Morning Show. All right, here we are our last break of the day. It's been a good Thursday. Huh good day. Yeah, yeah day, Yeah, good day. And the only thing that will make it better is you. Steve Harvey with some closing remarks, what do you have for us today? Well, you know, I kind of wanted to sh or something with you all that I was doing my meditation. I was reading this morning and it hit me because I've often said, you know, after the show or something, I was just you know, sometimes I just try to say something positive people. And one time I was talking after the show and I told people, I said, you know, there's a scripture that quotes something to this effect that God comes to give you life and give you life more abundantly. And so I said, that's what began. The process of me asking for my abundance was because of this scripture. And I just don't think this is just my walk with Him that as a Christian or believe or person or faith that you should have to struggle through everything. You're going to have challenges, You're going to have struggles, but in every aspect of your life, I mean, come on, something has to change for you. And so in this scripture was saying that He comes to give you life and give you life more abundantly. I always thought that the abundance that he was talking about was material things of financial blessings, you know, things of that nature. But I've learned recently through my studies that having that he comes to give you abundant life does not just mean things. It means peace of mind. It means awareness of all his goodness. It means not worrying about tomorrow or having regrets about the past, which issues out a lot of a lot of wasted energy. It means things like that that he's present in your life, that you are aware of all the good things, that your eyes are open to all he's done for you. And the big part of it is that he gives you your daily bread, that today is a very very special day, and because it's unlike any other day you've ever had, and he's giving you a new day. So when it comes to talking about an abundant life, I had to stop thinking that it was just talking about things or money objects, innate objects, that really he's talking about an abundant life through having a peace of mind, to having a realization that you have a companion who is not only your friend, but he's also your king. You know your sovereign Lord. That's what he means by abundant life, that you come to the realization that you're not alone in this matter. You come to the understanding that you have a very present help if you just invited me in that can help you deal, cope, handle, and understand anything that happens in your life. That's what I came to the conclusion that having a life and having life more abundantly stood for. And once I came to this realization, it opened up a whole another way of thinking for me, because it's just an amazing thing when you understand that you can have or say so in today and all you have to do is worry about today, I mean, concern yourself with today's matters and don't worry about tomorrow, and don't show no regrets for the past, and you can have a life of abundance because you will now be living in the moment, in the presence, and you'll have His presence because you vited to me in even closer. That's what I learned about the abundant life, that it doesn't just mean monetary or physical things, that it actually means peace of mind, presence, a very present help in the time of trouble or relationship, someone who gets it, who's always there. That's what that means. And that's what I wanted you all to think about today. So when you ask God to give you life, and he promised to give you life and give it to you more abundantly, think about what the whole abundant thing is really about. I wasted a lot of time thinking it was just a reference to find answers some money. You know, it's not. It's so much more. And today I had an abundant life because today I didn't worry about tomorrow and today, because that's burdening yourself with something you can't do nothing about. And I didn't worry. Have no regrets for my former life, Tada. I had an abundant day today, and it caused me to realize, really, man, you bless you got an abundant life. That's what I wanted to share with you. Those my closing remarks that I got a little time on the back end, but that's what I realized. I just wanted to share that with you. Thank you for that. Yeah, great, because when you do. When I first heard it, I thought the same thing too. I really did ye, I was convinced of what it was. But I was doing my meditation this morning and I was reading this section. Uh, that explains a lot of stuff, and I said, wait a minute, man, No, the abundant life is. He gives you peace of mind for today. He gives you awareness of His presence for today, and therefore it gives you a total and then it causes you to be grateful for what you have today, and it opens up your eyes to everything that's happening in your world right now. Because by worrying, Uh, I watched this Sherley Luke twelve and twenty five. By worrying, you cannot add one hour or two.
