Let's pray before we. Father, we just love you, and we thank you for your word, Lord.

We ask for revelation, utterance, and anointing, Lord.

We pray that your word come forth as your word, that it not be the ideas and opinions of man,

but it be the very true words of God spoken through your people.

And, Lord, we ask that we purpose to receive it in our hearts

by faith and do everything that you've asked of us Lord in faith and in love knowing that every good

work is done by you and through you and Lord we purpose to do those good works as you enable us.

Lord, we thank you in advance for every good thing that this word will bring forth in our

own lives and in the lives of others today. And we give you glory in Jesus' name. Amen.

Thank you, Lord. Let's open our Bibles to Philippians 3. You know, we were singing to everybody ought to know this morning.

And my mom used to sing that to us. She was a horrible singer. But, man, she loved the Lord. You know, she's one of those people. When she said he's the Lily of the Valley, she was talking to him. She wasn't singing to you. She loved the Lord.

You know, every time I remember her, it blesses me that she was my mom, but it blesses me more

of the blessing that she was and is in my life today, even.

I'm going to shut up and talking about her. We'll be crying before we preach.

She was, she is and was on this earth she was a very neat neat lady she was a blessing in my life i thank god for her

through her prayers that's what's that's why i'm standing here today and to her he was the lily of the

valley the bright

morning star and he is to us when she sang it it wasn't an act she you could catch her singing it

by herself in her house in her office and she would be smiling and there was no acting in her

i don't know that i've ever met another person like her.

I would aspire to be like my mom in many ways.

It's not even Mother's Day, is it?
