Hi, this is Joel and Victoria.

Thanks for listening to our podcast and thanks for supporting the ministry. If you enjoy today's message, why don't you be a blessing and share it with a friend. We appreciate you and pray for God's very best in your life. Well, God bless you. It's a joy to come into your homes. We love you. And if you're ever in our area, please stop by and be a part of one of our services.

I promise you, we'll make you feel right at home. Thanks so much for tuning in today.

And thank you again for coming out. I like to start with something funny. And I heard about this

country couple. They were celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary, and they had never had an argument before, not one.

Somebody asked them the secret of their success. The husband explained, as they were leaving the church,

going on their honeymoon, the wife's horse refused to go. She got off, looked the horse in the

eyes, and said, that's one. The horse went a little bit further, stopped again. She got off, looked the horse in the eyes, and said, that's one. The horse went a little bit further, stopped again. She got off, looked the horse in the eyes and said, that's two. Went a little bit more, but stopped once again. This time she got off, pulled out her revolver, and shot the horse dead. He said, what in the world are you doing? You can't just shoot an animal.

She looked at him and said, honey, that's one. Hold up your Bibles, and we don't recommend that now.

This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. I have what it says I have, I can do what it says I can do. Today I will be

taught the word of God. I boldly confess, my mind is alert, my heart is receptive, I will never

be the same in Jesus' name. God bless you. I want to talk to you today about appreciating the people in your life.

There are people around you that are making you look good. People that are using their gifts

to make your life easier. People that are going out of their way, making sacrifices so you can

accomplish your dreams. None of us got to where we are on our own.

The more you give credit to others, the more God will bless you.

The scripture says, humble yourself and God will exalt you.

It takes humility to say, I didn't get here by myself.

I had awesome parents.

I have an amazing wife.

I've had friends that have believed in me.

There's no such thing as a self-made person.
