Dear Brothers, With Love
By Cokiesha B. Robinson |
Happy Valentines Day!!!
Yes, that's right: this is a little note of love to all of the men that make life so much easier for every sister around the world. This is not a letter for African American brothers only and neither is it a letter from African American sisters only. This note is written with the hope of being muti-racial, muti-cultural and muti-purposed. Yes, this is a love note to every man around the world who has longed to hear the words "thank you" from a woman-a mother, a grandmother, an aunt, a sister, a friend, a female in leadership, etc. This is "the letter" that you always hoped would reach your mailbox or at least the one that you craved in the depths of your heart.
As the world celebrates love today, love for couples, friends, parents, siblings, colleagues and associates, we are sending "a big helping of love" your way. You are our men, God's men! Men of purpose. Men of intelligence, compassion, responsibility, and valor. Please accept this note of appreciation from the women that may have helped you or from those that may have hurt you. Most of all, receive this from the women that held you. We see you, we hear you, we value you, we appreciate you and we love you.
Thank you for standing by our sides. Thank you for your listening ear and your input. Thank you for your work ethic and your sacrifices. Thank you for your reliance upon God and your commitment to His Word in all seasons. Thank you for the gift that you are to the world simply by being who you are-strong, sound, sincere, secure, solid in your beliefs and saved by God's grace.
Keep walking worthy.
With love and appreciation,
Your Women of Virtue
