My momma knew God—she was raised a Methodist. In fact, her daddy was a Methodist preacher. Still, Momma said she wanted more from God, so for the past couple of years she’d been searching for more. I got to go with her on some of those searches. First, we tried the Jehovah’s Witnesses. They were cool, till I learned they didn’t celebrate Christmas. God or no God, I wasn’t giving up Christmas! Then we tried the Muslims (or the “Black Muslims,” as Momma called them). I didn’t like them because when we got to their church (which they called a mosque), they made us change our clothes and put on some of their clothes: floor-length dresses and material to wrap our heads in so our hair wouldn’t show. And they searched us too, which pissed me off. But Momma seemed to understand; she said it was because white folks thought the Muslims were militant, so white folks was always messing with ’em—you know, harassing them, arresting them, threatening them. Momma said the Muslims had to be careful so that’s why they were searching folks. uring Momma’s God search, we tried a few other religions. I never really did care one way or the other. I never really seriously thought about God because, no matter what the religion, they all wanted you to be perfect. And I knew I was far from perfect. So I figured God wouldn’t wanna mess with me. I don’t know which religion Momma finally decided on. Maybe she realized she didn’t need a particular religion to know and love God or for God to know and love her. Whatever she decided, she also decided that she wasn’t going to choose for me. She wanted to wait until I was old enough and then let me decide my religion.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Cupcake Brown" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/cupcake-brown/i-didn-t-know-much-about-god-cept-that-if-you-pissed-him-off-he-d/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/137/cupcake-brown-34223_islam_i-didn-t-know-much-about-god-cept-that-i_537994.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/137/cupcake-brown-34223_islam_i-didn-t-know-much-about-god-cept-that-i_537994.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/137/cupcake-brown-34223_islam_i-didn-t-know-much-about-god-cept-that-i_537994.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“I didn’t know much about God, ’cept that if you pissed Him off, He’d getcha one day.

And I’m going to paint the solar system on the back of her hands so that she has to learn the entire universe before she can say “Oh, I know that like the back of my hand.” She’s gonna learn that this life will hit you, hard, in the face, wait for you to get back up so it can kick you in the stomach. But getting the wind knocked out of you is the only way to remind your lungs how much they like the taste of air. There is hurt, here, that cannot be fixed by band-aids or poetry, so the first time she realizes that Wonder-woman isn’t coming, I’ll make sure she knows she doesn’t have to wear the cape all by herself. Because no matter how wide you stretch your fingers, your hands will always be too small to catch all the pain you want to heal. Believe me, I’ve tried. And “Baby,” I’ll tell her “don’t keep your nose up in the air like that, I know that trick, you’re just smelling for smoke so you can follow the trail back to a burning house so you can find the boy who lost everything in the fire to see if you can save him. Or else, find the boy who lit the fire in the first place to see if you can change him.” But I know that she will anyway, so instead I’ll always keep an extra supply of chocolate and rain boats nearby, ‘cause there is no heartbreak that chocolate can’t fix. Okay, there’s a few heartbreaks chocolate can’t fix. But that’s what the rain boots are for, because rain will wash away everything if you let it. I want her to see the world through the underside of a glass bottom boat, to look through a magnifying glass at the galaxies that exist on the pin point of a human mind. Because that’s how my mom taught me. That there’ll be days like this, “There’ll be days like this my momma said” when you open your hands to catch and wind up with only blisters and bruises. When you step out of the phone booth and try to fly and the very people you wanna save are the ones standing on your cape. When your boots will fill with rain and you’ll be up to your knees in disappointment and those are the very days you have all the more reason to say “thank you,” ‘cause there is nothing more beautiful than the way the ocean refuses to stop kissing the shoreline no matter how many times it’s sent away. You will put the “wind” in win some lose some, you will put the “star” in starting over and over, and no matter how many land mines erupt in a minute be sure your mind lands on the beauty of this funny place called life. And yes, on a scale from one to over-trusting I am pretty damn naive but I want her to know that this world is made out of sugar. It can crumble so easily but don’t be afraid to stick your tongue out and taste it. “Baby,” I’ll tell her “remember your mama is a worrier but your papa is a warrior and you are the girl with small hands and big eyes who never stops asking for more.” Remember that good things come in threes and so do bad things and always apologize when you’ve done something wrong but don’t you ever apologize for the way your eyes refuse to stop shining. Your voice is small but don’t ever stop singing and when they finally hand you heartbreak, slip hatred and war under your doorstep and hand you hand-outs on street corners of cynicism and defeat, you tell them that they really ought to meet your mother.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Sarah Kay" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/sarah-kay/if-i-should-have-a-daughter-instead-of-mom-she-s-gonna-call-me-point/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/032/sarah-kay-3508_bad-thing_if-i-should-have-a-daughter-instead-of-m_490079.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/032/sarah-kay-3508_bad-thing_if-i-should-have-a-daughter-instead-of-m_490079.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/032/sarah-kay-3508_bad-thing_if-i-should-have-a-daughter-instead-of-m_490079.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“If I should have a daughter…“Instead of “Mom”, she’s gonna call me “Point B.” Because that way, she knows…” — Sarah Kay", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } } ] }, { "@type": "CollectionPage", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/momma-said/#webpage", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/momma-said/", "name": "Momma Said Quotes", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#website" }, "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/momma-said/#itemlist" }, "primaryImageOfPage": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/21c/james-buchanan-10944_bossy_my-momma-always-said-bossy-was-good-for_38935.png" }, "description": "Browse 15 Momma Said quotes by 14 authors.
