Speaker 7: dig me now, one and only Steeve Harvey got a
Speaker 7: radio show, man o man or man something going on
Speaker 7: real good today.
Speaker 8: You ought to feel blessed today. The fact that God
Speaker 8: woke you up and gave you another opportunity. You know,
Speaker 8: every day you wake up, it's another chance. It's a
Speaker 8: chance for all of us to get better, to get
Speaker 8: it right, to get on the right path, to stop
Speaker 8: heading the wrong way. Every day you wake up, that's
Speaker 8: your opportunity. See, because he's gonna keep waking you up
Speaker 8: because he has a plan for you. You know, I
Speaker 8: don't know, uh you know, I don't.
Speaker 2: I don't.
Speaker 8: I don't know when he makes his call and you
Speaker 8: know who gets called home when I can't explain it,
Speaker 8: I don't have that answer. I'm not him, I'm not God.
Speaker 8: I don't claim to be.
Speaker 2: I don't.
Speaker 8: I don't understand it all sometimes, but God has an
Speaker 8: amazing way. But as long as he's waking you up.
Speaker 2: I do know this.
Speaker 8: God ain't through with you yet. God has a plan
Speaker 8: for you. Your job is to identify identify the plan.
Speaker 8: You know, that's clearly what I need for you to do.
Speaker 8: You know, oftentimes the thing that you're looking for, it's
Speaker 8: right there inside of you.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 8: I can't tell you how many people I meet mister Harvey,
Speaker 8: Mister Harvey, can't speak to you for many Yeah, Man,
Speaker 8: what's up with you?
Speaker 2: Man? I was just wondering.
Speaker 8: Man, I've been trying to and I want to know, Man,
Speaker 8: can you give me a good agent? Can you give
Speaker 8: me a good lawyer? Can you give me a good Now? Look,
Speaker 8: if you got some legal problems, I understand you're gonna
Speaker 8: need some help right there. But the majority of questions
Speaker 8: I get asked is about their future, about their place
Speaker 8: in this world, about their mission, about what they're trying
Speaker 8: to do, how they trying to figure out and then
Speaker 8: the how to go about doing it. But the answer
Speaker 8: I must remind all of you is always within yourself.
Speaker 8: It starts right there. See a lot of people burn
Speaker 8: up a lot of time looking around trying to find someone.
Speaker 8: If I could just meet them, if I could just
Speaker 8: get on her show. Man, if all, if I could
Speaker 8: just get to his show, I beat and made it.
Speaker 8: That's not necessarily the case. Because See, just like every
Speaker 8: time you put your put your faith in a person
Speaker 8: or an event or currence or some type of thing
Speaker 8: that you imagine yourself being in there and that'll do
Speaker 8: it for you. Imagine of all the people who've made
Speaker 8: it without you know, I look at everybody. Tell me, Man,
Speaker 8: if I could get on so and so show, that'll
Speaker 8: do it for me. Man, somebody else got on that
Speaker 8: show and they blew up. Man, if I could just
Speaker 8: make it to that show, do you know how many
Speaker 8: people have made it without that? So see, when you
Speaker 8: start focusing in on what your idea of how to
Speaker 8: make it is, and your idea of how to make
Speaker 8: it does not include your relationship with God, you spinning
Speaker 8: your wheels. Man, It's a vicious cycle you in now,
Speaker 8: and I'm asking everybody to get out of that cycle.
Speaker 8: Get out of looking for someone and something. The answer
Speaker 8: is within you. God resides in you. That burning thing
Speaker 8: that you have that you just can't get out your head.
Speaker 8: That's a seed. God plant that there. That's a seed.
Speaker 2: It needs watering, nurturing, fertilizing, and that's what it needs.
Speaker 2: It didn't it. Don't ever say, man, I need that
Speaker 2: other person right there now.
Speaker 8: There are people you will meet that will compliment you,
Speaker 8: and I can assure you that God will put you
Speaker 8: in the right place at the right time. I'm almost
Speaker 8: certain that God will introduce you to everybody you need
Speaker 8: to be introduced to to make it to wherever it is.
Speaker 8: You all are trying to get to him talking about
Speaker 8: you and God now, But the moment you take it
Speaker 8: into your own hands and you make the decision as
Speaker 8: to who you got to get to, You've just cloudy
Speaker 8: and muddy the waters. See God's plan for you don't
Speaker 8: really need your help. Oh, it needs your attention, it
Speaker 8: needs your focus, it needs your faith, and it needs
Speaker 8: your hard work. But He needs you to listen. He
Speaker 8: needs you to listen more than anything. Listen, keep the faith,
Speaker 8: and be willing to work your tail off. I don't
Speaker 8: know how you think it can happen any other way,
Speaker 8: But then again I do because I try to make
Speaker 8: it another way. So I had to come to the conclusion,
Speaker 8: Hey man, listen here, dog just ain't working for you.
Speaker 8: You got to get some more God here, man, listen
Speaker 8: to me.
Speaker 2: The answer was.
Speaker 8: Always within me, the moment I sat down with myself
Speaker 8: and told myself the truth that aint partner. You ain't
Speaker 8: really all that. He ain't partner, regardless as to what
Speaker 8: people are seeing and stuff. You ain't happy, Hey Pardner,
Speaker 8: this really ain't about you. Hey Pardner, you really ain't
Speaker 8: all that good at this. God is keeping you for
Speaker 8: a reason. Okay, hold up, Steve, quit tripping.
Speaker 2: What I need to do.
Speaker 8: I just started talking to myself and then I heard
Speaker 8: Bishop Jakes say a couple of things.
Speaker 2: Then I was watching TV. I heard Joel Oldstein.
Speaker 8: Say a couple of things and I went, wow, man, okay, cool,
Speaker 8: that's pretty slick.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna try that. And when I did it, it
Speaker 2: changed my life.
Speaker 8: I am telling you, man, it has been God this
Speaker 8: whole time, and the God has been residing inside of me,
Speaker 8: just like the God resides on the inside of you.
Speaker 2: That's him talking to you, telling you, man, you ought
Speaker 2: to get it together. Man making you feel bad.
Speaker 8: It's sending you on guilt trips, you knowing you wrong,
Speaker 8: and you out there wrong and something telling you you
Speaker 8: are not do it.
Speaker 2: Here's how you know. It's God.
Speaker 8: And Bishop Alma taught me this in his book He's
Speaker 8: Got I can't think the name of it right now,
Speaker 8: but it's a really good book.
Speaker 2: But it says in that man.
Speaker 8: Bishop Olmo was talking in this book and he was saying,
Speaker 8: the way you know is not God's voice is if
Speaker 8: it ain't no sin in it. See how many times
Speaker 8: have you made up in your mind, I'm gonna show
Speaker 8: this person or I'm gonna show that person, or I'm
Speaker 8: gonna get this person back. You hurt me, I'm gonna
Speaker 8: hurt you. You know the Lord don't like ugly. I'll
Speaker 8: show you well, the Lord don't like ugly. But no
Speaker 8: way in that does it's safe for you to go
Speaker 8: show them. It doesn't say that. See, so when you
Speaker 8: strike out on that mission, you know the God knows
Speaker 8: in my heart I loved you, but I got to
Speaker 8: do this because you did me. Who wah, whoa whoah,
Speaker 8: ain't got nothing to do? With God right there, you
Speaker 8: can take him out of it. If it's God, has
Speaker 8: no sin in it. So anytime somebody come to me
Speaker 8: talking about the Lord told me to do this to you,
Speaker 8: and that's the only reason I'm doing. You need to
Speaker 8: get yourself right with God. I had all them threats
Speaker 8: right there. That ain't God talking to me through you.
Speaker 8: What are you crazy? If it's God, it has no
Speaker 8: sin in it. So you got to be careful man,
Speaker 8: when you talking to people. If we're gonna go down
Speaker 8: here and we're gonna do this because this is the
Speaker 8: right thing to do. If it has something wrong going on,
Speaker 8: then it can't be the right thing to do. It
Speaker 8: took me a minute to learn that one. But please
Speaker 8: get that through your head so you can quit spending
Speaker 8: yourself around and remember everything you're looking for is within you.
Speaker 8: It's all right there. Quit wasting your time looking around
Speaker 8: all the time. Go to your God, man, talk to him.
Speaker 8: Go to that spirit that's on the inside of you
Speaker 8: that's calling you. Stop letting people shake your tree. At
Speaker 8: the end of the day, somebody gonna be right, somebody
Speaker 8: gonna be wrong. All right, y'all, we're gonna have to
Speaker 8: go in the day tripping a little bit, going through something.
Speaker 2: Show ladies and gentlemen, it is here another great tape.
Speaker 9: Man.
Speaker 8: Oh man, Man, I'm excited. He just keep on doing it.
Speaker 8: He just keeps on showing up. Man, Thank you Heavening Father.
Speaker 2: Y'all.
Speaker 8: I'm telling you no better way to start your data
Speaker 8: than to be grateful. It just opens up the windows
Speaker 8: of heaven, makes room for you, and the angels rejoice
Speaker 8: when you show gratitude. It's just an amazing thing. And
Speaker 8: it just it minimizes the things that's going on in
Speaker 8: your life that's not of the positive nature. And it
Speaker 8: just helps you realize, man, that God is still on
Speaker 8: the throne, still in the blessing business.
Speaker 4: Hah.
Speaker 8: Shirley Strawberry, Colin Parrell, Mouth of South Junior nephew, Tommy. Yeah,
Speaker 8: all us help you up here telling you what's on
Speaker 8: your mind.
Speaker 10: Let me ask you this man, you did it all now,
Speaker 10: I mean you have to tie and then just if
Speaker 10: anybody in any biding, uncle, what's your motivation?
Speaker 6: What's your wine?
Speaker 2: Now?
Speaker 8: Well, you gotta have your purpose has changed often in life,
Speaker 8: and you got to be conscious of it.
Speaker 2: You got to rearrange it all the time. First, it
Speaker 2: was about me.
Speaker 8: I needed to be successful because I thought I could
Speaker 8: help more people that way. But I found out along
Speaker 8: the way that your mission is always to help others.
Speaker 8: Even on your climb to the top, you have to
Speaker 8: extend your hand to help others. I was listening to
Speaker 8: Joel Oldstein over the weekend and he was pointing that
Speaker 8: out that whenever you need something, don't forget the other
Speaker 8: people who need something too, because part of your blessing,
Speaker 8: and a huge part of your blessing, comes when you
Speaker 8: do something for other people. God blesses you to become
Speaker 8: a blessing, and the more of a blessing you are
Speaker 8: the other people, the more he'll bless you with. So
Speaker 8: you continue to be an even bigger blessing, you see.
Speaker 8: And so you've got to make your motivation. It cannot
Speaker 8: always be about you. I understand the human side of
Speaker 8: it because I suffered from that oftentimes myself.
Speaker 2: But the reality of the matter is, it's not about me.
Speaker 8: The motivation for me now is purely I would have
Speaker 8: to say, the motivation for me now is eighty percent
Speaker 8: my family. Eighty percent is my family, you know twenty
Speaker 8: you know, of course I'm human. I won't recognition for
Speaker 8: my work. You know, that's the human side of it.
Speaker 8: But if I don't get the recognition, that's fine because
Speaker 8: I changed my want in life anyway I used to
Speaker 8: want I used to want rewards, I mean awards. I
Speaker 8: changed it from awards to I just want the reward now.
Speaker 8: But I just my life now is more into the
Speaker 8: awards than the into the rewards as opposed to the awards,
Speaker 8: because I thought that's what it was all about. Man,
Speaker 8: I got invited to the show, I got a camera seat,
Speaker 8: I got to go, I got to go. No, man,
Speaker 8: I don't have to do that, because I found out
Speaker 8: what God wanted me for is much bigger than that anyway.
Speaker 8: So your focus will change about what it is you
Speaker 8: want out of life. But as long as you make
Speaker 8: it about others and someone else other than you, the
Speaker 8: greater your.
Speaker 9: Chances of achieving it. I mean, I take that seat
Speaker 9: through if you don't want to see seat being empty,
Speaker 9: I mean, somebody.
Speaker 1: Need to sit there, all right.
Speaker 11: Coming up at thirty two minutes after the hour, we'll

Speaker 11: Chief Love Officer, Steve Harvey. This one is from Billy
Speaker 11: in Ohio. Steve Billy right, but listen to this, Billy Wrights.
Speaker 11: I'm tied up in an affair with a woman that
Speaker 11: loved to have sex on the back seat of her
Speaker 11: Chevy Tahoe. This past Sunday, I was at church with
Speaker 11: my wife and she pulled up to the church and
Speaker 11: texted me to come outside.
Speaker 1: I left church and went to the back seat of
Speaker 1: the tahoe.
Speaker 11: Afterwards, I nodded that the parking lot got guard and
Speaker 11: I went. When I'm back in church the next Sunday,
Speaker 11: the security guard told me that my secret was safe
Speaker 11: with him. Should I trust him or not?
Speaker 8: You got to first of all, dog, First of all,
Speaker 8: first of all, should I trust him or not? Let's
Speaker 8: start with you stupid, Please, that's a dog.
Speaker 2: Crazy.
Speaker 8: He's the security guard. You had to climb in the
Speaker 8: back seat or y'all had to go into the back seat.
Speaker 8: Either way, you went in the back door or you
Speaker 8: climbed over the sea. He saw it, and he tells you, hey, man,
Speaker 8: your secret safe with me. Should I trust him? Okay,
Speaker 8: let's say you don't trust him? What's your next move?
Speaker 8: I ain't nothing a hold of hold let me let
Speaker 8: me guess you're gonna have him killed?
Speaker 9: Dog?
Speaker 2: What the hell can you possibly do? Can you trust him?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 2: You're stupid, man. We ain't answering that. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: you could trust him. Why did you go out there
Speaker 2: and get.
Speaker 1: In that contact? I can't get past that. It's not
Speaker 1: a church church, right?
Speaker 4: The church? What?
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 1: Billy, You're on your own, so says the colo. All right.
Speaker 11: This one is from new Mommy in Monroe, Louisiana. She says,
Speaker 11: I'm a twenty four year old mother of a two
Speaker 11: year old boy, and I'm engaged.
Speaker 1: To a man that is not my child's dad.
Speaker 11: He's planning to adopt my son and he's already talking
Speaker 11: about how he's going to discipline him. My son is
Speaker 11: at the age where he says no to everything, and
Speaker 11: he thinks it's cute. My fiance says it needs to
Speaker 11: stop now, and he needs something better than the swat
Speaker 11: on his butt that I gave him. He says he
Speaker 11: needs a leather strap on his butt. But that's a
Speaker 11: bit harsh for a.
Speaker 1: Two year old. How can I defend my baby from this.
Speaker 8: Well, I think that's a little harsh for two years,
Speaker 8: and I grew up getting the spanks, but not at two. Brother,
Speaker 8: you need to pull up and you need to talk
Speaker 8: to you, to your to your future husband about it,
Speaker 8: because obviously he has no children. Anybody talking about striking
Speaker 8: the baby at two. I'm just gonna say, you need more.
Speaker 8: You need a strap on a two year? Are you
Speaker 8: kidding me?
Speaker 4: Now?
Speaker 2: You can traumatize this, but you need to sit down
Speaker 2: and have a talk with him.
Speaker 8: And I would suggest y'all probably need to go to
Speaker 8: some type of counseling about child wearing because there's so
Speaker 8: many other ways to raise children now.
Speaker 2: But I cannot.
Speaker 8: Condone a guy coming in and talking about he needs
Speaker 8: something harder than a little smat on the butt.
Speaker 2: I think I think that's dangerous. That's dangerous conversation. Is
Speaker 2: this a science ting?
Speaker 8: You need to pull up till you get a real
Speaker 8: understanding because you can't move this man in his house
Speaker 8: and he talking about the house severe he needed.
Speaker 1: It's a two year and he's going to adopt this point.
Speaker 4: No.
Speaker 8: I mean, I appreciate you loving him, but he's got
Speaker 8: the wrong idea of discipline.
Speaker 2: And definitely the wrong time. Two at a belt. Are

Speaker 4: Thank you.
Speaker 11: My friend Junior's subject, what happened his ex wife got
Speaker 11: a real Christmas tree is the subject of this letter
Speaker 11: for today. Dear Stephen Shirley, I'm on my second marriage
Speaker 11: and there's a issue in my marriage. My husband was
Speaker 11: married for eighteen years and he's got two daughters and
Speaker 11: joint custody of them.
Speaker 1: I have a daughter that lives with us. We've blended
Speaker 1: the family nicely.
Speaker 11: And his daughters are sweet to my daughter, but they
Speaker 11: like to remind her that their father is not her father.
Speaker 11: My husband is not good at setting boundaries for his
Speaker 11: ex wife. When we started dating, he let me know
Speaker 11: that he and his ex are friends and whatever he
Speaker 11: does for her is for his daughters. I can accept that,
Speaker 11: but when it gets to be too much, I step
Speaker 11: in to help him set boundaries. The other day, he
Speaker 11: told me that since his ex wife and the girls
Speaker 11: moved into a new house, he wanted to buy his
Speaker 11: daughters a nice Christmas tree. I was against it, but
Speaker 11: then I realized his daughter's feelings. Then I considered his
Speaker 11: daughter's feelings and I agree to it. We got a
Speaker 11: little seven foot artificial tree out of the storage room
Speaker 11: and I went and bought new ornaments. Saturday, he told
Speaker 11: me he was picking up his daughters to get a tree,
Speaker 11: and he took my daughter with them. I wasn't invited.
Speaker 11: Two hours after they left, my daughter posted a video
Speaker 11: in her Instagram story and they were shopping for a
Speaker 11: real tree. They picked a giant, beautiful, real, fluffy tree.
Speaker 11: I had assumed they would go to Walmart and buy
Speaker 11: an artificial tree. My daughter said they took the tree
Speaker 11: to his ex wife's house and he set it up
Speaker 11: for them. He set it up for them and they
Speaker 11: decorated it together. I was crushed because I decorated our
Speaker 11: fake tree alone while they were gone. My husband always
Speaker 11: justifies things by saying that his daughter shouldn't suffer because
Speaker 11: he left their mother.
Speaker 1: Does he do it out of guilt? Will his ex
Speaker 1: wife be forever a part of our family?
Speaker 3: Well?
Speaker 1: Yeah, in a sense.
Speaker 11: She may not be a part of your family, okay,
Speaker 11: but she is the mother of your husband's daughters, and
Speaker 11: those are your stepdaughters. So the ex will always be
Speaker 11: in your life somehow, Okay, as long as you know
Speaker 11: she's got the daughters and everything. You know, my issue
Speaker 11: is with you though, really, I mean, this is kind
Speaker 11: of petty. You're worried about a Christmas tree here. I
Speaker 11: think you're saying it's about that, but what it really
Speaker 11: is is that you don't want your man over there,
Speaker 11: and you don't want him over there doing stuff for
Speaker 11: them like putting up the tree. As a family. I
Speaker 11: think you're jealous when where this is concerned. But I'm
Speaker 11: telling you don't be insecure. Because he still wants to
Speaker 11: spend time with his daughters. That means he's a good dad. Okay,
Speaker 11: He's right. He left their mom, not his kids, so
Speaker 11: he wants to continue to show up in their life
Speaker 11: for them as their father.
Speaker 1: He and the ex don't have anything going on.
Speaker 11: I mean, if you guys can afford it, why don't
Speaker 11: you You know, if there's something wrong with your tree,
Speaker 11: why don't you and your husband and the girls go
Speaker 11: out and get a tree. You didn't have to stay
Speaker 11: there and decorate the tree by yourself. You could have
Speaker 11: waited until they came home and you guys could have
Speaker 11: done it together.
Speaker 1: You know, he just went with the girls to get
Speaker 1: a new tree.
Speaker 11: You need to talk to him if you have a
Speaker 11: problem with how he's moving right now, but he sounds
Speaker 11: like a father who's just trying to do the right
Speaker 11: thing to me. As crazy as that all seems, it sounds. Yeah,
Speaker 11: I don't have a problem with this, Steve.
Speaker 2: Well, it's a twofold situation. In my eyes.
Speaker 8: He's being a good dad and he's being punished for that.
Speaker 8: But he's doing it, and he's making a couple of
Speaker 8: mistakes the way he's doing it. You know, first of all,
Speaker 8: when y'all this is both of y'all second marriage, he
Speaker 8: set this whole thing up by.
Speaker 2: Telling you that, you know, look, but I'm gonna do stuff.
Speaker 8: With a daughter, and I'm gonna do stuff for my daughter,
Speaker 8: and I'm gonna do stuff for her, but the reason
Speaker 8: I'm doing it for her is for my daughter. He
Speaker 8: set all of this up with you in the beginning
Speaker 8: because he's active in their life, as he should be.
Speaker 8: Now you all say, you all have blended the family
Speaker 8: together nicely, But the daughters are sweet to your daughter,
Speaker 8: but they always remind her that ain't your daddy.
Speaker 2: They do that. Kids gonna be kids, They gonna jockey
Speaker 2: for position.
Speaker 8: Your husband is not good with setting boundaries for his
Speaker 8: ex wife and his ex wife is flexing because she
Speaker 8: has two kids with him, and she's taking advantage of it. Now,
Speaker 8: let's get to the whole thing about what this letter
Speaker 8: is about. His ex got a real Christmas tree. First
Speaker 8: of all, when he picked up the daughter, when he
Speaker 8: picked up his two daughters, and he took your daughter.
Speaker 8: He took your daughter, which is his daughter, which is
Speaker 8: to with his biological daughters, because he wanted to get
Speaker 8: them a tree because they had moved into a new house. Well,
Speaker 8: now here the problem you made though when you took
Speaker 8: your daughter from your new wife with you, and she
Speaker 8: posted it on a story. So I'm assuming that these
Speaker 8: might these might be teenage kids if they can post
Speaker 8: on stories and stuff.
Speaker 11: Wait a minute, what did you say? Wait, say that
Speaker 11: one more time, Steve, about the daughters. What just I
Speaker 11: just wanted you to say.
Speaker 1: That one more time?
Speaker 11: What you said about the daughters. He has two daughters
Speaker 11: with his ex. He has two daughters with his ex,
Speaker 11: and then the wife had a daughter. The new wife
Speaker 11: has a second wife has a daughter.
Speaker 8: Okay, but see, and that's his daughter. Oh he has
Speaker 8: three daughters. Now, yeah, right right, separate them. If you
Speaker 8: separate them, they will help.
Speaker 2: You separate that. Yes, yeah, maybe that's what the deal is.
Speaker 8: When I come back, I'm gonna tell you the mistake
Speaker 8: he's making with this. He's a great dad, but he's
Speaker 8: making a mistakes.
Speaker 6: All Right.
Speaker 11: We'll have part two of Steve's response coming up at
Speaker 11: twenty three minutes after the hour. Today's Strawberry letter subject
Speaker 11: is his ex wife got a real Christmas tree. We'll
Speaker 11: get back into it right after this. You're listening hard
Speaker 11: Morning show. All right, Steve, come on, let's recap today's
Speaker 11: Strawberry letter. The subject his ex wife got a real
Speaker 11: Christmas tree.
Speaker 2: Okay, So on the break, I read this letter again.
Speaker 2: This marriage.
Speaker 8: This man was married to this woman for eighteen years
Speaker 8: and they got two daughters. His ex wife was married
Speaker 8: eighteen years and they got two daughters. So I'm going
Speaker 8: to assume that these two daughters are teenager, yeah, because
Speaker 8: they got Instagram and they posted stories.
Speaker 4: You.
Speaker 8: She the woman he's married to now, who's writing this letter.
Speaker 8: She has a daughter from her previous marriage. I don't
Speaker 8: know how she is, but they treat her nicely, but
Speaker 8: they do remind her that he's not your real daddy.
Speaker 8: That's our real daddy. But they treat her nicely, and
Speaker 8: you all have been and they're sweet to the girl.
Speaker 2: Okay. Cool, So we got that out the way.
Speaker 8: Now the man's this up by telling you, listen, I'm
Speaker 8: gonna do some things for my wife, my ex wife,
Speaker 8: because we're friends, but everything I do first because of
Speaker 8: the daughters. You're okay with that. Now let's get to
Speaker 8: what the problem is. It's a Christmas tree. He the
Speaker 8: ex wife and the two daughters that moved into a
Speaker 8: new house. He wants to get them a nice tree
Speaker 8: for their house for Christmas. Okay, So he takes your daughter,
Speaker 8: which is his daughter from this marriage, Christmas tree shopping
Speaker 8: with his daughters from his previous marriage, and he goes
Speaker 8: and buys them a real Christmas tree, big old fluffy tree.
Speaker 8: You'd have went to the storage room and went out
Speaker 8: there and got that little ragged ass Sears tree seven
Speaker 8: feet call in the box, man, that's in the box.
Speaker 2: That you've been putting up for years. And so now.
Speaker 8: You bought some ornaments for the treat, some new ornaments.
Speaker 8: They went tree shopping. You look on Instagram, your daughter
Speaker 8: that posted they bought a tree. They take the tree
Speaker 8: to his ex wife's house where his daughters live. They
Speaker 8: set the tree up and they all decorated. Now, you
Speaker 8: said earlier they went Christmas tree shopping and you weren't invited. Okay,
Speaker 8: it was just him and the girls. So that's cool
Speaker 8: because the tree is for the girls. But it's at
Speaker 8: the ex wife's house. I mean, that's what he said.
Speaker 8: So in a way, this would be cool. Here's the
Speaker 8: mistake he's making. You got to not make them kids
Speaker 8: feel and see a difference. You've got to go above
Speaker 8: and beyond in treating them the same. And even this
Speaker 8: is not your stepdaughter, this is your daughter. If the
Speaker 8: daughters get a real tree, everybody get a real tree. See,
Speaker 8: he should have bought two real trees, is what he
Speaker 8: should have did. Because you can't make the quote unquote
Speaker 8: step daughter feel step See.
Speaker 2: The reason we never used the word.
Speaker 8: Step in our family was because when you say step child,
Speaker 8: it's usually like a step down, and it's like a
Speaker 8: step down from the level that the regular children on.
Speaker 8: That's why we never used that term. So now, but
Speaker 8: you can't let them see or feel the difference. Now,
Speaker 8: if his daughter's got a big fluffy Christmas tree, he
Speaker 8: should have got a big Christmas tree at his house too.
Speaker 8: That's the mistake he made. Yes, that would that that
Speaker 8: would have cleared this whole thing up. And bruh, that's
Speaker 8: all you got to do. Everybody got to get equal
Speaker 8: and like treatment period. And you can't have your new
Speaker 8: wife feeling some kind of way because you're doing all
Speaker 8: this extra stuff for your ex wife, because that's how
Speaker 8: she looking at that too. Oh, she got a tree,
Speaker 8: and y'all all decorate the tree together. I didn't know
Speaker 8: you was gonna go over there and put it up
Speaker 8: and decorate it together. I wanted to surprise y'all when
Speaker 8: you came home. Y'all come home late. I done decorated
Speaker 8: the tree by myself, and y'all ass was over there
Speaker 8: having family time.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 8: You see why she said? You see now she gonna
Speaker 8: be upset about that dog. And this is your mom
Speaker 8: because you gotta do everything equal. If you're over there
Speaker 8: having hot chocolate, you got to come home have hot chold.
Speaker 8: You'd bought the Voka pound cake from Nama Marcus over there,
Speaker 8: you got to come in your house with the Voka
Speaker 8: pound cake. Okay, you know see that's what you gotta
Speaker 8: do now, bro, that's the mistake you make and you've
Speaker 8: got to sit your husband down and say, hey, listen,
Speaker 8: we can't feel like with second class citizens when it
Speaker 8: comes to special events, while your ex and your biological
Speaker 8: children get all the perpse. So I think that's unfair.
Speaker 8: So you can do whatever you want to do for them.
Speaker 8: I'm not stopping you, but you needed to start doing
Speaker 8: the same thing over here. See that real big fluffy
Speaker 8: treat that was beautiful, but that would look good in
Speaker 8: this house too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they should get one, you see.
Speaker 2: Because they had a new house. He feels like they
Speaker 2: should get a new treat. Well. Well, well, and you
Speaker 2: got to get to everybody else a new tree.
Speaker 11: Though, something a thought came to my head because a
Speaker 11: lot of mothers have mom guilt.
Speaker 1: Do dads have dad guilt as well? Is that what
Speaker 1: he's dealing with? Dad guilt as well?
Speaker 8: Yeah, because he said in the letter they can't pay
Speaker 8: because I left their.
Speaker 1: Mother right right, left their mother, not them.
Speaker 2: See. But then also now the you gotta be careful
Speaker 2: of the Disney dad.
Speaker 1: Syndrome too, Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2: See when you do.
Speaker 8: See the kids, you can't be Disney Dad. And then
Speaker 8: all of a sudden you go home to your family
Speaker 8: ain't no Disney, right, it's just the old tree.
Speaker 2: You got Disney dad mode all the way round board, bro.
Speaker 1: Yeah all right.

Speaker 11: Listening Harvey Morning Show all right, here we are our
Speaker 11: last break of the day.
Speaker 1: It's been a good day. Huh good day. Yeah, yeah day, Yeah,
Speaker 1: good day.
Speaker 11: And the only thing that will make it better is you.
Speaker 11: Steve Harvey with some closing remarks, what do you have
Speaker 11: for us today?
Speaker 8: Well, you know, I kind of wanted to share something
Speaker 8: with you all that I was doing my meditation. I
Speaker 8: was reading this morning and it hit me because I've
Speaker 8: often said, you know, after show or something, I was
Speaker 8: just you know, sometimes I just try to say some
Speaker 8: positive people. And one time I was talking after the
Speaker 8: show and I told people, I said, you know, there's
Speaker 8: a scripture that quotes something to this effect that God
Speaker 8: comes to give you life and give you life more abundantly.
Speaker 2: And so I said, that's what began.
Speaker 8: The process of me asking for my abundance was because
Speaker 8: of this scripture. And I just don't think this is
Speaker 8: just my walk with him, that as a Christian or
Speaker 8: a believer or a person of faith, that you should
Speaker 8: have to struggle through everything. You're going to have challenges,
Speaker 8: You're going to have struggles, but in every aspect of
Speaker 8: your life. I mean, come on, something has to change
Speaker 8: for you. And so in this scripture, it was saying
Speaker 8: that he comes to give you life and give you
Speaker 8: life more abundantly. I always thought that the abundance that
Speaker 8: he was talking about was material things, financial, blessings, you know,
Speaker 8: things of that nature. But I've learned recently through my
Speaker 8: studies that he comes to give you abundant life does
Speaker 8: not just mean things. It means peace of mind. It
Speaker 8: means awareness of all his goodness.
Speaker 2: It means not.
Speaker 8: Worrying about tomorrow or having regrets about the past, which
Speaker 8: issues out a lot of a lot of wasted energy.
Speaker 8: It means things like that that he's present in your life,
Speaker 8: that you're aware of all the good things, that your
Speaker 8: eyes are open to all he's done for you. And
Speaker 8: the big part of it is that he gives you
Speaker 8: your daily bread, that today is a very very special day,
Speaker 8: and because it's unlike any other day you've ever had,
Speaker 8: and He's given you a new day. So when it
Speaker 8: comes to talking about an abundant life, I had to
Speaker 8: stop thinking that it was just talking about things or
Speaker 8: money and objects, innate objects, that really he's talking about
Speaker 8: an abundant life through having a peace of mind, to
Speaker 8: having a realization that you have a companion who is
Speaker 8: not only your friend, but he's also your king, you know,
Speaker 8: your sovereign lord. That's what he means by abundant life,
Speaker 8: that you come to the realization.
Speaker 2: That you're not alone in this matter.
Speaker 8: You come to the understanding that you have a very
Speaker 8: present help if you just invited me in that can
Speaker 8: help you deal, cope, handle, and understand anything that happens
Speaker 8: in your life. That's what I came to the conclusion
Speaker 8: that having a life and having life more abundantly stood for.
Speaker 8: And once I came to this realization, it opened up
Speaker 8: a whole nother way of thinking for me, because it's
Speaker 8: it's just an amazing thing when you understand that you
Speaker 8: can have a say so in today and all you
Speaker 8: have to do is worry about today. I mean, concern
Speaker 8: yourself with today's matters and don't worry about tomorrow, and
Speaker 8: don't show no regrets for the past, and you can
Speaker 8: have a life of abundance because you will now be
Speaker 8: living in the moment, in the presence, and you'll have
Speaker 8: his presence because you invited it me in even closer.
Speaker 8: That's what I learned about the abundant life, that it
Speaker 8: doesn't just mean monetary or physical things that it actually
Speaker 8: means peace of mind, presence, a very present help in
Speaker 8: the time of trouble, a relationship, someone who gets it,
Speaker 8: who's always there. That's what that means. And that's what
Speaker 8: I wanted you all to think about today. So when
Speaker 8: you ask God to give you life and he promised
Speaker 8: to give you life and give it to you more abundantly,
Speaker 8: think about what the whole abundant thing is really about.
Speaker 8: Sent a lot of time thinking it was just a
Speaker 8: reference to finances or money or you know, it's not.
Speaker 8: It's so much more. And today I had an abundant
Speaker 8: life because today I didn't worry about tomorrow and today,
Speaker 8: because that's burdening yourself with something you can't do nothing about.
Speaker 2: And I didn't wear half only no regrets for my
Speaker 2: former life, Tada.
Speaker 8: I had an abundant day today and it caused me
Speaker 8: to realize, really, man, you bless you got an abundant life.
Speaker 2: That's what I wanted to share with you. Those my
Speaker 2: clothing remarks today. Wow, See I got a little time
Speaker 2: on the back end, but that's what I realized. I
Speaker 2: just wanted to share that with you.
Speaker 1: Thank you for that.
Speaker 11: Yeah, great, because when you do. When I first heard it,
Speaker 11: I thought the same thing with you're you know me too?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I really did.
Speaker 8: I was convinced that what it was. But I was
Speaker 8: doing my meditation this morning and I was reading this
Speaker 8: section that explains a lot of stuff, and I said,
Speaker 8: wait a minute, minute, No, abundant life is. He gives
Speaker 8: you a peace of mind for today. He gives you
Speaker 8: awareness of His presence for today, and therefore it gives
Speaker 8: you a total and then it causes you to be
Speaker 8: grateful for what you have today, and it opens up
Speaker 8: your eyes to everything that's happening in your world right now.
Speaker 8: Because by worrying, I watch this, surely, Luke twelve and
Speaker 8: twenty five. What by worrying, Luke twelve and twenty five,
Speaker 8: by worrying, you cannot add one hour to you?
Speaker 2: So by not being able to do that?
Speaker 6: Yes, all right, to be with Kanye and go ahead.
Speaker 1: I don't know about that ministry.
Speaker 2: I love it.
Speaker 15: Hey, you know what, how much height do you get
Speaker 15: with a thirteen thousand dollars tree?
Speaker 1: How big is that?
Speaker 2: Twenty twenty feet? Easy boy, you gotta have you gotta
Speaker 2: have really tall seals.
