I love Madea, she really brings laughs into our homes!

[loisrodenromans]

Wow I never heard this story. So glad I stopped and listened. God bless Tyler Perry for Madea plays and movies. I was very depressed years ago. Had to move back home with my mother after my divorce. Felt bad. All I wanted to do was stay in bed in my small room. I watched Madea plays mainly then started watching movies. Felt Healing thru every laugh and cry. It was like the Lord spoke thru Madea with heavy blows of wisdom. Was like hit her again those hospital scenes with defibrillator pray I'm spelling it right. Eventually I cried Alot only this time it was HAPPY tears tears of Joy! I thank God for Tyler Perry. 😭🙏🏾❤️ I may have been still in that room. 🙏🏾❤️ Pray the Lord blesses all he does. 🙏🏾❤️
