To the mothers that literally make up this amazing community that we have to pastor Debbie our founding mother here at Transformation Church.

We love you to my mommy who's sitting and looking so beautiful you look like a beautiful flower you just bloom it.

Y'all can't see I'll post a pixel later my spiritual heritage and my my my fervor and prayer and going after the things of God it comes from you and I just love you and I appreciate you.

I would not be who I am today had you not spit on my head and prayed over me at four o'clock in the morning every night and the more years that go by I'm just more grateful that you're my mommy and I love you.

Hey listen can I say this to everybody if you got a mommy called them today text them I know it might be rough I know it might you never know what one act of kindness even if they don't deserve it.

You don't know what type of seeds of forgiveness that could be sewn through just the I love you and so today let's let's honor remember we honor up we honor down hey we honor all the way just one more time we honor up let's go we honor down come on we honor all the way that's even when it doesn't feel like you should honor.

This is the only promise that God says there's long life that comes with honoring your mother and father and so today transformation nation I'm asking you send a text put a dove in the air do something send a smoke signal and just tell them you love and I could not go past this moment without honoring all the mothers of transformation church but specifically pastor Natalie who is the mother of all my babies.

And y'all I know you're like I know you got to do the mother's day thing and all that of this of this ain't a mother's day thing for me.

This is an everyday thing for me. We have been through so many things and the fact that my three and a half children we got one on the way right now.

I love you and I see why God gave me my greatest gift in you today I honor you I I about say I lift you up you know I'm saying you're starting magnet I live you up now anyway I honor you and I thank God and on behalf of me and my kids and transformation church we thank God for pastor Natalie and I think we want to do something okay since today's the day is a lot of time.
