What is a mother? This is a very important blog that pertains to the importance of motherhood. I started this blog off by asking this very important question because motherhood has numerous of definitions. What is a mother? A mother is a female who according to God is a helper or a companion for man. A female is the flesh of man; meaning that God has created woman from the womb of a man. The man himself whose name is Adam. Eve is her name; which was selected by Adam himself because she was created through the rib of him as he was sleeping. Next, the purpose of woman is to take care of children, and to become a helper for man. A mother is a person who is a doctor, teacher, counselor, and even a father to her own children; if their father is not around. According to the United States Department of Health and Human Services, at least 55% of single parent households are conducted by women. This means that single women are taking care of their own children all by themselves. However, when I was a child, my mother raised 9 children all by herself. This means that my mother had to raise 6 boys and 3 girls all by herself. Although my stepfather was physically present inside of the home. It was my mother who was responsible for doing the majority of the work. I know that Mother’s Day really mean a whole to me as a man. I salute my mother on this very special day for always being there for me. I salute my grandmother who is also responsible for raising me as a little boy in Dayton, Ohio to the man that I am today. In addition, my mother and two grandmothers raised me to become a very responsible person. I still remember my eldest grandmother taking me to Bethel Church of God in Christ in Dayton, Ohio as a little boy for several years. My grandparents raised me as well as my mother who taught me a lot about on how to be responsible and assisting me with my siblings as well. They have instilled in me social and moral values that I need to become a mature adult. My mother and grandmothers are the three women who are elders who I give credit in my life when it comes to learning about the opposite sex. My aunt taught me how to develop a strong work ethic as well as my mother and grandmothers. The elder women in my family did not tolerate any foolishness. My grandmothers and mother always told me if I wanted something out of life, I had to work hard for it. Moreover, independence is something that my mother and female elders in my family have taught me. My mother always told me as a child to always work really hard at anything that you want out of life; without asking anyone for anything. I was also told to always try to get anything for myself first before seeking help from anyone else. Always rely on God and Jesus Christ for all of my help!!! My great aunt has always taught me a great deal about striving for success. I called my mother’s best friend my great aunt because she has always been a motivator when it comes to education.

She has earned two masters degrees from college and I really miss her whole lot. When I felt like giving up; she was always there to inspire me and motivate me so that I can stay positive and focus on the future. A mother is a leader, teacher, supporter, life coach, philosopher, police officer, and president in the family. My mother as well as all of the female elders in my family controlled the household. I thank God for my mother and my female elders in my family. I thank God for my mother because if it wasn’t for my mother I would not exist. When my own biological father had forsaken me; my mother stepped up to the plate and took over and raised me as well as the female elders in my family. I love you mom for being the person that you are in my life.

My mother is queen always in my life. She will always be the queen in my life as well as the woman who I will marry someday. I could not ask for no other person to be her but her. Happy Mother’s Day to each and every single woman who are mothers or those who have the potential to become mothers. This day is for your special day. Happy Mother’s Day!!!!!!

Sincerely,

Anthony Joseph Hopkins

     Greetings and Salutations Everyone

Greetings and Salutations Everyone!!  My name is Anthony Joseph Hopkins and I would like to focus on my overall personality as a person.  I know that some of this information has already been mentioned yesterday.  However, I want to inform all of you that I am a person, who is very nice.

Next, I want to say that some of my strengths and weaknesses are as follows:  My strengths are compassion, respectful towards others, computer literate, and polite.  I am also the type of person who likes to work things out at my own pace.  I know that my family members are polite.

Moreover, I want to say that I am a very honest person.  I know that I have my faults just like everyone else.  I know that I am not perfect.  I am very respectful towards everyone.  I know that there are times when things tend to get intense with my family members and friends.  I know that I have weaknesses such as maintaining too much distance towards other people. 

Further, I know that I have had issues in the past with my family members and friends.  I know that my life consisted of ups and downs.  I know that my family members and I tend to call each other names from time to time.  I know that I have been too quiet most of the time. 

In Addition, I want to inform all of you that I am very frank and transparent.  I know that I have been doing things when I get ready.  I used to be a stubborn person at times.  I know that I have been trying to contain my use of vulgarity.  My parents told me that using vulgarity does not make me a very pleasant person.  It only makes things worse. 

Also; when I was a child, I used to be all by myself all of the time.  I know that at times, I can be extremely quiet.  I usually do not say anything.  I want to inform all of you that I have character defects.  Some of my character defects are as follows:  I can get so angry that I tend use vulgarity.

  Whenever I get angry, I go take a walk to the park and sit down all by myself.  I love pets of all types.  I used to raise chow chow dogs for a total of 9 years.  I also had one golden retriever dog.  All three of my dogs were loyal to me.  Animal Therapy helps me to cope with stressors that are in my life at the present time. 

I want to say that I am a very nice person overall.  I know that I am respected by all of my family members and friends.  I really feel that I am too honest and truthful.  I really miss my family members, who have passed away.  I used to be an emotional person.  My mother prescribed me a stimulant just to mellow me out behaviorally.  I have taken meds for years.

Some of my character defects are impulsive behaviors.  I know that I have been trying to put things into perspective.  I know that my family members and friends have different personalities.  I am a person who knows how to converse with everyone that I am in contact with each day.  In a way, this reminds me of a 6^th Step in Alcoholic Anonymous.

 The 6^th Step says that we ask God to remove all of these defects of character. 

I am asking God to remove all of my personal character defects.  I know that my AA Sponsor and I have parted ways with each other.  I am sad because he has been my AA Sponsor for 12 years.  I had to get a new AA Sponsor and he is very humble. 

I know that I am a person who is very understanding.  I am an excellent public speaker.  I know that I have resolved a lot of my active issues from the past.  I know that I am a person who knows how to solve my personal problems.

Finally, I want to say that I love all of God’s Creation.  I really love animals very much.  I used to take care of my cats for at least 7 years in the Dayton, Ohio Area.  My cats were named Scrappy and Fluffy.  These cats were considered as domestic shorthair tabby cats.  My cats really loved me for the person that I am.  I was responsible for feeding them tuna fish and sardines.

In Conclusion, I want to inform all of you that my animals comforted me.  I know that Jesus Christ is supposed to comfort me at all times.  It is that animals are very adorable.  I love my animals so much that people used to get upset because I am around my cats.

 It really does not make any sense for someone to get upset because I am seeking love and affection from an animal.  I know that I only wish that I could obtain my pictures and videos of me with my cats and dogs.  I really want to say that I love myself a whole lot.  I know that my family members are always concerned about me.

My friends tend to have a point of view that is different from my family members.  I am saying that I had to make amends with my friends and family members for the past 15 years now.  I know that my life is what I really make of it.  This is the truth about everyone who exists on Earth.  Life is literally what you make of it. 

My Name is Anthony Joseph Hopkins

Good Day Everyone!!  My name is Anthony Joseph Hopkins and I am from Dayton, Ohio.  I want to inform everyone that I am an Author and a Blogger for the moment.  I am a 58-year-old man who suffers from several physical ailments.  For Example, I suffer from Diabetes, Glaucoma, Stomach Ulcers, Schizoid Affective Disorder, and Schizophrenia.

The only thing that I can say is that recovery is a lifelong process.  It is a job trying to remain clean and sober.  I really love my AA Meetings and NAMI Connections in Charlotte, NC and Dayton, Ohio.  I know that God loves me and it is God who is saving me from myself. 

I have been trying to avoid moving inside of areas where it is crime ridden.  I have been living inside of my apartment complex at Wentworth Hi Rise Apartments in Dayton, Ohio.  I know that I am the oldest of my mother’s 9 children.  My grandparents raised me for a total of 17 years of my life.  I know that my Grandparents House is Still Standing right now.

My mother graduated from Roosevelt High School in Dayton, Ohio class of 1961.  She had given birth to me 4 years later.  My mother and family members were gifted.  I supposed that my life spiraled upside down when I became an adult because I really was apathetic. 

I was a person who used to be all by myself when I was an adult.  I used to sleep outside in Toledo, Dayton, and Charlotte.  I know how to survive from being in the Boy Scouts.  I know that my life consisted of hanging around with the wrong people.  I want all of you to know that my life was very interesting.  I really attempted suicide when I got scammed out of money.  I lost a total of $23,000 dollars by people that I did not know.  One of my ex-girlfriends scammed me out of $4,000 dollars from 1989 through 1990. 

I also got scammed by some Africans who live in Ghana and Nigeria.  From March 13, 2008 to February 28, 2010.  I am a person who will not argue with anyone.  I love God, Jesus Christ, and other people.  Otherwise, I love the Lord Jesus Christ.  I also forgiven everyone who used to beat me up from 1972 to 1997.  I love Jesus Christ and all of His Creation.  God Bless All of You.  Thank You for Reading My Essay.

What is the Definition of the word repentance?  By Anthony Joseph Hopkins May 8, 2024

What is the Definition of the word Repentance?  What is the biblical definition of repentance?

It is the act of leaving what God has prohibited and returning to what he has commanded. The word denotes the act of being repentant for one’s misdeeds, atoning for those misdeeds, and having a strong determination to forsake those misdeeds (remorse, resolution, and repentance).

What is the real definition of repentance?

1 : to turn from sin and dedicate oneself to the amendment of one’s life. 2a : to feel regret or contrition. b : to change one’s mind. transitive verb. 1 : to cause to feel regret or contrition.

When I have officially repented of all of my sins, it was on Sunday February 15, 2015.  I got baptized in the name of the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost.  This is when I have completely changed my life.  All of the things that I used to do in the past, I do not do anymore.  For example, I do not drink alcohol anymore or smoke marijuana.  I want to inform everyone that I am a changed man.

What are the four steps of repentance?

The first is responsibility: We must recognize that we have done wrong. The second is regret: We must have true remorse for doing wrong and for the pain and problems we’ve caused. The third is resolve: We must be committed never to repeat the act regardless of the temptations or situation.  I will admit that I went to Kings Mountain two weeks ago.  I went on vacation from December 29, 2021 to January 12, 2022.  I will admit that I had a very good time at Kings Mountain, North Carolina.  I had a lot of fun with my family members.  I also spent over $100.00 dollars gambling at the Casino.  I won $84.00 dollars by playing the slots. 

I have repented of my sins by asking God for forgiveness for gambling at the Casino in Kings Mountain.  I will never go gambling anymore.  I will no longer cast lots anymore.  Casting Lots is gambling in the Bible.  I know that my life has been filled with ups and downs.  It is that, I was spending time with my family in Charlotte, NC. 

I had a lot of fun in Charlotte, NC.  I also spent $200.00 dollars throwing away all of my things at 1-800-Got Junk.  I had to get rid of it because it had mold on it.  I will never keep all of my things in storage that long anymore.  I have learned a valuable lesson.  Never keep a whole lot of stuff in storage or inside of your house because it is a health hazard.  I am very sorry for storing all of my personal things inside of my apartment and in storage.

 Please forgive me everyone.  I had over 300 books inside of three huge boxes as well as all of my other things.  I am very sorry Lord Jesus for keeping all of my things in storage for 13 years.  I am very sorry for keeping all of my mail for the past 3 years inside of my apartment in Dayton, Ohio.  I am very sorry for gambling at the Kings Mountain Casino.  Please forgive me Father God; Lord Jesus!!  I am very sorry!!  I want to inform everyone that I am redeemed!!  I am very sorry for all of the bad things that I have done.  I am asking for your forgiveness!!  I am very sorry. 

I am asking everyone to please forgive me of all of my sins from past to present.  I am very happy that God and Jesus Christ have forgiven me of my sins.  Please keep me in your prayers.
