Turn to James Chapter 3 and 2nd Corinthians 5.

All right?

James 3, open your Bibles to James 3 and then put a marker at 2nd

Corinthians 5. I appreciate you bringing your Bible to church. You know there, I don't mean this

critically, it sounds critical and I really don't mean it critically, but you know there are a lot of

churches you can go to, you can attend and not take a. And that's sad. And I appreciate you bringing your

Bibles. I appreciate you having a quiet time and reading your Bibles during the week and

studying your Bibles and wanting to learn more about God.

We're going to continue our series on happiness redefined.

And the reason we call it happiness is because we're looking at the beatitudes and we have one more after this week.

It'll be this week and then one more next week.

And then we'll have a Mother's Day and we'll have a special mommy's day message

and mommy's day service and all of that that weekend to honor our wonderful mothers.

My boys are both over six feet tall and they call my wife Mommy instead of mom they call her mommy how are you mommy and they do things for her and they'll they pick her up and carry her places and they just

They're just big boys and good boys but we were talking last night with our

daughter-in-law, Hannah and she said when we first met them the very first thing

when we walked in to meet her at a restaurant

when Josh was dating her

Josh immediately walked over and said hey mommy and she said I think that's when I

fell in love with him.

When I saw how much he loved and honored his mother.

So, you know, I need to get to the message here.
