Praise the Lord and please have a seat.

Well, good morning.

I think we should start off there.

And on behalf of Pastor J.D. Farag, we want to welcome you to Calvert County O.

All of you here, visitors that have come today.

We thank you and pray that you're blessed by the fellowship and love that you will receive here.

And for those joining us online, we welcome you as well.

And I do want to remind everyone about our next prayer meeting.

We'll be held on the 4th of June here in the sanctuary

at 7 p.m. So if you're able to come please do and join us in some corporate prayer as we

pray on one accord. We have a lot of things to pray on water court about and it's no better place to do so in the house of the true and living God.

So if you're able to come out, please do so and join us.

Now, before we get into our teaching this morning, I do want to take just a moment to address all of the

mothers as well as those who aspire to be mothers. First of all, you don't have to be a mom to come

to the understanding of what a mother goes through. In fact,

it's many of us that put those mothers through everything.

Am a lying?

And on many occasions, being a mother is a thankless call.

And a single day out of the year will never do any justice for what a mother often goes through.

And despite what they go through they are able to care and

love in a way that defies logic and we should all recognize that motherhood is not getting any easier.

In fact, it has gotten a lot worse.
