Amen and amen. And good morning and welcome. You can be seated now. So glad you're here.

Today those of you online, we're glad that you're joining with us today on this Mother's Day.

And I want to wish all the mothers the very best and most blessed Mother's Day ever.

And I also want to encourage those for whom Mother's Day is a very difficult day, particularly those mothers that have wayward daughters or prodigal

sons.

I just want to encourage you with something that the Lord had encouraged me with, and always

encourages me with, trust that the Lord loves them more than you ever could, and never,

ever, ever give up on.

Just keep praying for them.

Amen.

Also, Mother's Day can be a very hard day

for those whose mothers or are no longer with you.

Also for those longing to be mothers but are not able to,

for whatever reason.

And those who don't have a good relationship

with their mothers, though they want to.

So I don't know where you land on that scale, for lack of a better word, but God.

Mothers are the young, unsung heroes.

So you be blessed on this Mother's Day despite everything.

And thank you, moms.

Literally, we couldn't do it without you.

Literally. I'll give you a moment on that one.
