pianist and we would go to church and sit on the front row like every Sunday morning and every Sunday night every Wednesday night I think we went to church about eight days a week but I remember my mom would the piano would be kind of down here on the on the floor and it would be facing this way so she could see my dad who was leading the singing and my brothers and I had to sit right in front of her left hand now this was very significant because she could pretty much land planes with her left hand and so she'd be playing away and my brothers and I would start you know messing around or something and so she'd just get down to the lower register of the piano and just snap her fingers at us and then just go right back playing is just amazing but you know those wonderful hymns that I learned as a child have really become part of my heritage as a child of God and I just want to sing some of my favorite hymns for you and if I start singing one that you like I'd love it if you'd sing

pretty much on one hand that have dramatically impacted every area of my life and I am so blessed to have two of the greatest parents in the whole world they are just they're loving and supportive they're healthy they're great grandparents they're the best fact I think my dad said if he don't having grandkids was so much fun you'd have him first but it is such a privilege that they could be here tonight and my dad and I have been singing a song ever since I've been about 16 and I don't think dad we've ever put it on video before we've put it on recording but I don't think we have ever put it on video before and I I know you guys have retired and you're just in the Gulf and all that but I'm going to tote I just I would just love it if you and mom would come up here and let's sing this together my mom Ron and Carolyn patty well we're gonna we're gonna stand over here by mom because she always makes us sound good well dad how many years have we been singing this but you're in since you were in high school however long that's been well I remember yeah two three years but I remember when I was a little girl and you would sing this song with someone in the choir and I just couldn't wait for the day till I got to sing it with you so it is just a real special my pleasure my pleasure who starts you start the by will tell he's still telling me what to do I love it the Bible tells me of God's love and his great wisdom always yet every little precious child is a testimony to amiracle stupidness ours and to hang but when god save my soul cleansing me it's a miracle Oh Oh my this great me sir Oh Oh Sam come here come up here buddy give Sam a nice hand you hear let's just sit down here for a minute hey well you know as I have tried to do with all of my kids I tried to find a way to tell Sam his story so I started telling him this little story when he was just a couple of days old and we still tell it to each other sometimes don't we see him and Aaron who was eight at the time drew the front cover of the book that we finally made out of Sam's story well those of you who are kids here tonight or for the rest of us who feel like kids this is a story that reminds us that God hasn't forgotten us that you still matter to him so we begin by saying with the opening line once once upon a time there was a little boy named Sam Sam lived up in heaven and Sam loved to slide down rainbows and swing on the stars and jump on the clouds and have picnics on the moon one day Sam went to God and he said God what's it like somewhere over the rainbow and God said well Sam it's not as wonderful as it is here but it is very special it's my creation why do you ask Oh God you know what I wish I wish I could go there and visit I wish I could live in a big white house with a big backyard with lots and lots of kids and lots and lots of love and God said well Sam I think I know just the place next time you slide down your rainbow there'll be a wonderful surprise waiting for you well Sam could hardly wait to go find his rainbow but before he did he reached his little arms up to God and God picked him up and Sam squeezed God's neck so thank you God then he noticed a little tear in God's eye and Sam said hey don't worry God I'll be back and God said I know you will Sam now off you go go find your rainbow so off sam went in search of his rainbow and when he found it he sat on top of that rainbow he closed his eyes and then he pushed with all his might and down that rainbow he came well do you know where he landed right in the middle of a big boy house with the big backyard with lots and lots of kids and lots and lots of love and that's how Sam came to live with mom and dad and all of his brothers and sisters and everywhere Sam went throughout his whole life he reminded people everywhere that one day we'll all go back over that rainbow and we'll all live happily ever after it's hard for me to believe that onna was once five jus now 17 she'll be a senior in high school she she did get her driver's license last year stay out of Indiana for a while she does really well on the straight roads it's those turns that just really get her and I tell you what she is one of the eight joys of my life I've watched her dance ever since she's been about three years old and she's danced with this production and that production she dances with with high school and she really feels like that God has given her that wonderful gift and so that has been such a high point a blessing in her life you know when you're 16 and you get a driver's license that's a pretty high point to so many wonderful things have happened to her and yet so many things have happened in her life and have caused her some pain last year at this time when I was working on a new record I got a call from Anna who had gotten a call from one of her friends it said four of her very best friends were in a car accident and one of them went on to a better life I tell you what that's a at the heavy thing for a 16 year old have to work through but through it all she has found her strength in the Lord she has danced with her life and she's been such a joy and blessing to me many times in concerts I simply just have to talk about her because she's involved in doing so many things but it's so neat to tonight to be able to say would you please welcome my daughter on a hill Vereen Oh here in my arms I can feel the breath of love surround you a life so pure how you will grow and a million dreams will dance pastor one day I will tell honest I'm moving through you have been a joy moving in Hey I have loved you in the morning light of God but he reached from heaven to sweet Mary the flame of life son carried to me and gave my soul of man moving through you Oh one holding you yes I I

many moms in the audience let me hear your hands if you're a mom you know what there is no greater joy in my life than being a mom there is no greater source of frustration in my life than being a mom you know what I mean you know I have to tell you though every once in a while there are these just fabulous days where the kids will wake up in the morning and they'll get dressed in school clothes that they've let me pick out for them to wear and they'll get up in plenty of time to make their bed before school I'm talking the sheet and the comforter and they'll come down into the kitchen where I'm whipping up some pop-tarts and what do you have a problem with that and after breakfast I'll overhear them saying to one another as they get their backpacks on their way out to the car you take the front seat today no you take the front seat today no please you take the front seat today and on the way to school I don't have to slam my brakes on one time to remind them why they should have put their seatbelts on and then I wake up and there is realities staring me in the face do you moms feel like that all you do some days I say no I feel like all I do sometimes is just say no no no no no no no no no stop stop is ever gonna stop it I'm not gonna tell you that again do you need to go have a timeout do you need it I'll think about your happy attitude alright here are your two choices you can mine me or get a spanking stop skating in the living room a skater for the dog's head tuck to the hand cause the face don't understand these are the days my children have the audacity to come to me and say mom we have had it with you being the mom and so fine what are you gonna do about it they said we're gonna be the mom today is how fine when you're the mom today send me to my room alone yeah but I tell you what in the midst of the craziness and the chaos there really are some wonderful moments some days I have to really look for those wonderful moments but you know they're there one of the things that I have tried to challenge myself to do is write down or say out loud okay I'm trying to be so sly that I can't there write down or say out loud to somebody five things that have brought me joy at least five some days it's more some days it's not quite but you know what it does for me it just helps me see the world differently on my list of things that I'm thankful for might be some things you might not expect for instance I'm thankful for all the piles of laundry because it means my loved ones are near say it's all about changing the perspective a little bit I'm thankful for the mess to clean up after a party because it means I've been surrounded by friends I'm thankful for that lady who sings really off-key behind me in church because it means I can hear it's all about perspective I'm thankful for these wrinkles that I'm getting cuz they don't hurt it's all about perspective I'm thankful for those clothes that sometimes fit a little too snugly because it means I have enough to eat perspective people on it came up with I'm thankful for my curfew because it means someone cares about me I'm thankful for all the homework that I have to help with after school because it means someone needs me and you know I would just like to add a little side note we did get an A in science and math this last semester yesterday I left Indiana and came out to to California and my family was going to join me today so that meant I was by myself on the airplane in the hotel room didn't have to share the remote control with anyone and I got on the plane thinking and I'm gonna have some quiet time I'm really excited about that so I sat down got out a book and that baby started crying you know that baby that baby's been on your airplanes so I'm thinking okay find the joy I'm the joy I'm thankful for that baby that's crying because well today it's not mine but it does wonders for me when I when I make a choice to change the way I see something it's like that old saying you see the cup half empty or half full this past holiday season I was so challenged to take a look at the Christmas story through the eyes of Mary as a mother now she gave birth to the Son of God the King of Kings the Lord of lords Messiah but she gave birth to her firstborn son she wrapped him in swaddling clothes she laid him in a manger she heard his first cries comforted him and I got to to thinking about the many events surrounding the Advent season through Mary's eyes I started writing some thoughts down that became this all devotional you know whether it's Christmas or whether it's Mother's Day or maybe you're not even a mom I don't know but there's something every day that God has for us in his word I just wanted to read you a couple of these entries maybe you can relate Luke 1:28 says Mary you have pleased God an angel appeared to Mary and said hey guess what you're going to conceive and give birth to a son and oh yeah by the way don't be afraid okay I realize I am paraphrasing here now my daughter turned 16 last year about the age of Mary when she received that life-changing news not hey Mary you get to get your driver's license today or hey Mary you made the show choir group at school but the angel said Behold or listen up you are going to conceive and give a birth to a son God has found a favour with you you have pleased him he thinks you are up to the task you may be afraid right now and I want to calm your fears and tell you that you don't need to be afraid just trust in God how many times in our lives are we given an impossible inconceivable task perhaps it is in these times that we too need to hear the Angels say to us don't be afraid God has found favor with you he wouldn't ask you if he didn't think you could do it today you have pleased God and on into the story after Mary hears this news from the angel she says how can this be after feeling understandably afraid and overwhelmed and receiving the Angels comfort to not be afraid Mary did what we all do she began to ask questions excuse me she said how can this be you see Mary knew the facts of her situation from her perspective she knew she'd never been with a man and from her perspective what the angel had said had to be impossible but as always we cannot see the situation the way God would see it he already knew how he was going to intervene but he allowed Mary to ask questions we think God isn't big enough to handle our questions often we genuinely question because we only see things from our perspective it's okay God can handle the questions in fact I like to think that he welcomes them when we question he knows that we are diligently searching and knowing that we are diligently searching he delights in knowing that we will find Mary new probably better than us other moms knew what it was like to be entrusted with a life and yet knowing that ultimately it belonged to God while she rocked and held him on that silent holy night I'm sure that many thoughts were racing through her heart someday when this night is over and the star has fade and the Angels fly I look at you with one dreaming of this first when I heard you cry take your tiny feet and with just will cause the blind someday you will walk strangers tonight stay with me someday they will call you saying come on the people light and life devar Oh you will speak the world touch the hearts of man as you know touch speak in mr. prison doors okay we all will be set free you some way you will walk but tonight just stay a while with me my son let me still as Mary rocked him and held him on that silent holy night she knew that she had this moment but she also knew that all too soon it would be something Davi Belarus in Jerusalem that day the soldiers tried to clear that Narrows but the crowd pressed e2c condemned to die on cow he was fleeing from a beating there were stripes upon his back and he wore some song I the scorn of those who cry for he's dead is one of me Oh having okay school what is slumber party he pulled me Oh God yeah yeah Maury tell the via dolorosa Oh and as he hung on the cross he said father forgive him I heard him say please yet in my heart I feel guilty I know the truth the dad was a mind to pay how could it be right that it happened in this way a fallen ensign why my sweetie but why is your body and we D it should've it should've been women
