    Heard about your passing this morning. You were a gift from God to the world. I know you are with heavenly choir now. You made me fall in love with country music growing up, after about over four decades, your music still mean the world to me. Rest in paradise Kenny Rogers. I will miss you and I know the world will miss you as well.

    ..And when he finished speakin'
    He turned back toward the window
    Crushed out his cigarette
    And faded off to sleep
    And somewhere in the darkness
    The gambler - he broke even
    And in his final words I found
    An ace that I could keep.🎼

    As a young child in war torn Beirut in the 70 s. My teenage brother listened to Kenny relentlessly on his cassette player. I used to listen and dream of going to the states. My dream came true in 1984 when Senator John Glenn wrote the immigration a recommendation letter in support of my application for a student visa. I am a proud American living in England now, old and grey with 3 kids and 2 grandkids and owe everything to the late Senator Glenn and Kenny Rogers may they both rest in God s own company for here are 5 lives doing ok thanks to them.....

    In the company of the greatest guitar players of all time.... and such a nice guy. I have met him twice in the airport. The first time I had my daughter with me and he was so nice to her. She was 14 and a violinist. She had her instrument with her and when he saw the case he started to ask her thoughts on various music that she played. He was genuinely interested in her music. The second time I met him he was sitting across and one row up from me on a plane. I introduced myself and told him about how his meeting and talking to my daughter was so great for her. He remembered the occasion!!! God it is nice to see such a superstar behave like a gentleman and be so nice to a young fan. Thanks for so much great music....

    I woke up this morning to learn of this legend's passing. Kenny Rogers was an amazing artist, he surpassed limits and was an icon not just of country music, but all things Americana. He is one of those few who had "IT.". I saw him performed in 2016 and when he sang The Gambler I sobbed. I felt so lucky to have heard that performance live. Mr. Rogers, with your talent, your advice, your example, your patriotism, your songs, you gave this could try so much. Thank you for so many memories and lessons. May you rest in peace. I hope as you showed your last hand you remembered that beyond your family you were loved and respected by countless fans across the world.

The night before he left, he took me into his living room then put on this song and danced me around his living room while he sang it to. Many, many years later, the best man at our wedding sang that song for our bride and groom dance. It's been 30 years and two kids and that is still one of my favorite memories.

      Exactly! You never count your money when you are sitting at the table. Once you know the One who wrote the rules, follow them and give Him everything, He will let you say how you're going to play the game. Draw or stud, 5 0r 7 cards, what's wild etc. Just remember, you are a dead man walking, you never play for keeps! Break even!

      nor unjust work, nor undeserved punishment;
      because I see at the end of my rough path
      that I was the architect of my own destiny;
      If I extracted the sweetness or bitterness of things
      It was because I put bitterness and sweetness in them,
      when I planted rose bushes, I always reaped roses.
      Surely, winter will follow my vim an vigor;
      But you never told me that May would last forever!"
      I found without a doubt that nights long with my sorrows;
      but you didn't promise me just good nights;
      and instead I had some blessed and serene [ nights]…….
      I loved, I was loved, the sun caressed my face
      Life, you owe nothing! Life we are at peace!

      Why should it matter if you are black or white? I think it is more a question of parenting. It is likely that you favour the same or at least some of the music genres that your parents like as well. The only reason that so many black kids like "ganster rap" is because of their culture and therefore Self-fulfilling prophecy. If a very young child already thinks "I am black so I must like rap and hip hop" it is very common that this actually comes true.

      "The gambler, he broke even" I love that sentiment as a metaphor for death. It's like in the movie the Green Mile, Brutus tells Percy: "He's paid what he owed, he's square with the house again." after the execution of Arlen Bitterbuck. Some people look at it as euphemisms and newspeak but the sentiment behind lines such as these is quite lovingly poetic.

      This song was a regular part of our music festivals over the years. I think this was the first song I knew all the lyrics to as a kid.. 3 years old and I could put my own vinyl on. Still have my original copy. It's always been special to me but so much more today.
      One of my long time music hero's died last night.. I was actually visiting with one of my friends about our musical influences from childhood and this was one of the album's we were talking about.. and right at the time of his passing too.
      "Every gambler knows
      That the secret to survivin'
      Is knowin' what to throw away
      And knowin' what to keep.
      'Cause every hand's a winner,
      And every hand's a loser,
      And the best that you can hope for
      Is to die in your sleep."

    This was my mom's favorite song. I always liked it, but it took on completely new meaning after she passed. Battling with kidney failure, crippling arthritis in every joint, among other issues, she made the decision to stop her dialysis and enter hospice. She was an incredible woman with a completely unconquerable spirit. She taught me how to love unconditionally and how be a total badass.
    Play the cards you've been dealt, not the ones you wish you'd been dealt. Play them as best you can, and win as many hands as you are able. Know when your cards are not likely to bring victory, and take those losses in stride. And, at the end of it all, know when it is time to count your chips and excuse yourself from the table. She lived those ideals every day of her life, right up until the last. She went out on her own terms, not those dictated by her situation, and she did so knowing how loved she was, and how much she meant to everyone that ever knew her. Her wallet wasn't overly full, but her stack of chips was piled to the moon. I hope she's having fun with Kenny up there.

    Why I've always cherished this song is because it's a message that everyone, at times, needs to follow. Be aware of what and who's around you, knowing that your daily life is a gamble. It's a game where you have confidence in yourself, know when to evaluate yourself, learn to accept and trust others, run away from fear but towards what you feel is your calling. Give yourself faith and do your best, self evaluate, and finally... balance!
    I find it a message on how to live the life you've been dealt. This will always be a gamble. Play your cards right!

    At 45, after serving in the military, I felt like everything I cared about had slipped away. One night, feeling broken and lost, I reached out to God with nothing but my shattered heart. In that moment, He reassured me, saying, “It’s okay to be broken, I’m here for you,” and promised that if I trusted Him, amazing things were on the horizon. Just a few weeks later, things started to shift for the better, largely because of Teresa Janette Brock when i found her quora online. Her generosity introduced me to a business opportunity I never imagined I’d enjoy. Now, I’m using what I’ve gained to serve God, and my life is filled with peace and purpose. Don’t give up-God’s promises are true. Teresa and this journey have been profound blessings in my life!....
