    FRANKLY SPEAKING

    By W. Franl Wilson

    In the midst of your plight you have the additional burden of dealing with the plot of those who are envious and who lack understanding of God’s will

    I’m fortunate to have a loving family around me but quite often family prepares you for dealing with the other haters in the world

    Y’all know the story of Joseph and his brothers?

    There’s nothing like family or church hurt.

    Hurt people hurt people and often it’s intentional and then there’s the other side:  folk just not knowing

    I am uniquely blessed to have adult children, adult nieces and nephews, adult grandchildren and cousins who show care and support;

    They call, visit, even cashapp support during  trying times.

    Offering to come stay with me after surgery, I am truly blessed and thankful for this unusual gathering of family

    There are those on the outer edges of participation and care but to borrow a line from the song, Too few to mention!

    The concern is if I will be able to make the family reunion in Fort Lauderdale in July.

    I have not missed one since I began Wilson Mitchell reunions in 1995, and it’s high on my 2024 calendar.

    I keep reminding all of you: God ain’t  ready for me and the Devil don’t want me!

    Favor ain’t always Fair!
