Let's, for the reading of the Word of God today, listen to the message today, and then look at the good side of what takes place in this message, in this story today. Michael says, Then there was a famine in the days of David three years, year after year, and David inquired of the Lord. I want to ask the question about that later. and for his bloody house, because he slew the Gibeonites. And the king called the Gibeonites and said unto them, Now the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorites. And the children of Israel had sworn unto them, and sought to slay them in his zeal to the children of Israel and to Judah. And verse three, wherefore David said unto the Gibeonites, What shall I do for you? Here's a blank check. And wherewith shall I make the atonement that ye may bless the inheritance of the Lord? And the Annas said unto him, we will have no silver nor gold of Saul, nor of his house, neither for us shall I kill any man in Israel. And he said, what ye shall say, that will I do for you. And verse five, they answered the king, the man that consumed us. and that divides against us, that we should be destroyed from remaining in any of the coasts of Israel. And verse six, let seven men of his sons be delivered unto us, and we will hang them up under the Lord in Gebeah of Saul, whom the Lord did choose. And the king said, I will give thee. Verse seven, the king spared Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, because of the Lord's oath That was between them, between David and Jonathan, the son of Saul. The king took the sons of Risach, the daughter of Ada, whom she bared unto Saul, Ammoni, and Nephibosheth, the different, and the five sons of Micah, the daughter of Saul, whom she brought up for Adriel, and the son of Bartholomew, And he delivered them into the hands of the Gibbonites, and they hanged them in the hill before the Lord. And they fell, all seven together, and were put to death in the days of harvest, in the first days, in the beginning part of harvest. That's sad. As we pick up, we begin to realize the sacrifice of a mother. and spread it for her upon the rock. For the beginning of harvest, and the water dropped upon them out of heaven, and suffered, listen, neither the birds of the air nor the rest of them by day, nor the beasts of the field by night. And it was told David what Rishba, the daughter of Ada, the concubine of Saul, had done. And David, when he took the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan, his son from the men of Gabish Gilead, which had stolen him And he brought up from this the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan, his son. And they gathered the bones of them that were hanging. Lastly, verse 14, long read. And the bones of Saul, Jonathan, and his son, buried they in the country of Benjamin in Zila, in the sepulcher of Kish, his father. And they performed all that the king commanded. Listen, and after that, God was entreated for the land, the main city. Father, thank you. As Lord, as sometimes as covenants that have been promised must be kept. And Lord, as you end this with a blessing upon the land, Lord, when there's something that's not right, Lord, something, Lord, that is unsettled. Lord, I pray God that many of us, Lord, have made preparations to take care of the needs and necessities of our families, our fathers, our mothers. And Lord, those are all things that every one of us try to do. Sometimes there's never enough preparation, or sometimes maybe we don't have the resources to do everything. But Lord, I'm thankful for our families today. And that is exactly what this is about, Father, when we look at the love of a mother that she had for her children, even though that they made an ultimate sacrifice. Father, I thank you for the sacrifice. we wouldn't have 246 years of the freedom that of a birthday of a nation that's coming up without the sacrifice of those of our forefathers and for those that have given their lives for our democracy that we have the freedom today. Thank you so much for this beautiful scripture that reminds us of that many of us today are have many of our loved ones that we're hurting for and we miss tremendously father and what I pray God that you'll just let this story speak to us on this 4th of July message that God that will listen to what you have to tell us and as we go our separate ways Lord that we'll get ready to celebrate and also challenge ourselves Lord what kind Lord, even though you gave the greatest one in all of our lives all across the county, Lord, what are you trying to remind us about some of the sacrifices that we need to put away? Is it television? Is it some of the things that we take for granted today that maybe we need to cut back on, Father? What is some of the sacrifices that we can do, Father, as we listen to this message of a mother the bodies of those sons that were hung up. Thank you, Father, for this great privilege. And we hide behind the cross and ask you, Lord, to speak no matter what we have in front of us. Let it be the Holy Spirit that speaks to us this morning, and each and every individual as they listen for their part of the message. And Lord, if there's a lost person here today, and if not listening through this technology that we have today, And Lord, let them come into the family of God, the one that has given the greatest sacrifice on the cross for all of our lives of freedom from sin and bondage today. In Jesus' marvelous mighty name, amen. I thank God today as we look in your book and you'll notice that All of us are reminded of the greatest sacrifices of our country because of the 56 men that signed the Declaration of Independence. And of course, we know this story because it's a history lesson, all of us. And I go through that and I talk about those particularly five men that were captured that went through some very harsh times, that 12 of those men had their homes ransacked, burned. Two lost their sons in the Revolutionary Army, and another had two sons captured. Out of all of these, 56,000 men, nine died as a result of wounds, hardships from war, and men also at the Battle of Yorktown where British General Cornwallis had taken over Thomas Nelson's home for his headquarters. And then Nelson then ordered General George Washington, can you imagine that story? And you know what I'm gonna tell you, if you know history, hey, open up fire on my house and just blow it away. That was his house. But because they came into that home for their headquarters, he told General Washington, go ahead and open up fire on it and just blow every bit of it away. Can you imagine telling somebody, just go over there and just blow up my house? He ordered General George Washington to open fire upon his home, and as a result, Nelson's home was destroyed, and he died like a brother. John Hart was driven from his wife's bedside as she lay dying, and their 13 children fled for their lives. His fields were destroyed. Over a year, he lived in forests and caves, returning home only to find his wife dead and his children damaged. Hart himself died a few weeks later from exhaustion and a broken heart. And then, I thank God, one of the other sacrifices that we see is that today, each and every one of us as a body of Christ, if we pledge our lives and everything about us, one for the other, in our fellowship today, because as we try to do something for each other, without doubt, we ought to live and enjoy each day with a remembrance of the price that was paid for our freedom. And I believe that's what tomorrow is all about, I believe. And so, as someone said, service that costs nothing accomplishes nothing. And so, every one of us, it's an expensive thing to be effective. And so here this morning, every one of us, we're gonna leave this walk so why? My mom left, and believe it or not, even though she didn't have a lot of money, she left some behind, and she took care of all of her arrangements herself. She paid for all of her weight. She didn't depend on none of us kids to do it, she did. And so, you know, sometimes we wonder, will our family be stuck with bills when we're left, when we leave this walks of life? What are we going to leave behind? What kind of legacy did we leave behind? Did we leave a great name behind? And so every one of us, when we go through life today, we're going to leave this walks of life. And whatever we've done to prepare for that, that burden might be upon our families or our children or You may have done everything possibly that you could do. And I say all that because of what we read in the story of Saul this morning. Because I'm gonna tell you this, one of those stories that CBN and all of them, we'll say Fox News and all of them, they oughta been back in this time, been homing in with cameras all around Zistler. I believe that with all my heart. that what this lady was doing at the time. So when we look at Independence Day today, it reminds us of the faith that it takes to be a sacrificial giver, a believer of the faith that God can give to every one of us who believe and have enough faith today. Amen. And it requires letting go of fear and allowing healing to begin. and those of people value as well. You have experienced some very difficult days these past years and this past year. And you know exactly what I'm talking about. Developing a habit of sacrificial giving and love is probably one of the goals that every one of us want to have tomorrow, amen. That our prayer, that we would have such a habit that we would continue long after this year, Rose and Brown, next time they came. But here this morning, this scripture is not in context. This is like an appendix that has been put in, in the 2nd Samuel, chapter 41. And as we look at it, we must look at it with a heart, because one of the first things that we ask ourselves here in all this is, The text before us, right at the very bottom and down here, it says, at the text before us today, we see one of the most blessed and beautiful stories of all scripture that's lodged in here, that it talks about. Over on the back, you've got a little bit of a ledge, if you can make it out, of those seven sons that came, that we read, I think. And so I thank God, it'd be probably hard to look at it and tell, but from this, But I thank God as we look at these sons and what they represented in this story, it is a beautiful story. That was destroyed because the first two verses of this chapter, they give us the reason for the hardship of the land because of that settlement that had been destroyed, that covenant that had been broken. Who were the Gideonites? Well, back in Joshua chapter 9, Joshua didn't pray about something. He let some yukonites that were just over a couple of hills over, they come up and I'll remind you a little bit, they just put on some old rag, up here looking clothes, and brought in some old wore out bread, you know, they made out like they were way off, you know, they were somebody else, you know. And so Joshua didn't pray about it, he fell for it, so they accepted him in as protection, they made. When he found out the truth, They began to take them. He did not say, okay, you're going to be the workers for the Levites. You're going to cut the wood. You're going to go and put up the tents and everything. You're going to have that obligation. And so that was an obligation of covenant that even though that Joshua made a mistake. And when that happened, that brought a hardship on the peace of that covenant being broken. was getting the attention of everyone, driving every one of them to their knees because it affected food. Just like our gasoline today is affecting the prices of food, Dayman, and finances. And so today, every one of us, our trials can many times drive us to the oil, Dayman. I don't know gasoline can do that, but It needs to be something, amen. I better get back on track. But I want to tell you, God is using a famine here in this message, in our lives, to get the attention of everybody. And so here the Lord's trying to get the attention of America, that we've turned our back on the Lord and the Word of God, and we're based on a nation of America. But all of a sudden, we're not being that same nation that we've always been. that I said when we were reading, is anything around your curiosity about David's praying to the Lord after three years of famine? David, what's going on? Three years and then finally you pray and ask God to find out what's going on. I'm not picking on the Bible or David, but there is a good example. Why did we wait so long? God was ready to answer that prayer and that inquiry a month later, that day, a couple hours later. when there's something happening in your life right now. Because God, He's ready to give an answer, amen. And don't wait until your situation gets so desperate before you talk to the Lord this morning. That is what I say in this. At the end of this, RISBA has a lesson out of all of this to teach us. And I think the lesson is don't wait until your situation He already would have been on his knees. He would have already been saying, Lord, there's something going on after year one, after a couple months. Lord, we've got a famine going on here. What's happening, Lord? But he didn't. After three years, we read this warning. I thank God the Bible says pray without ceasing. Seek the Lord in strength. And see his face continually. Praise God. David prayed to the Lord, and God gave him an answer. Amen. And I thank God he said, Saul, in his in the book of Jeremiah, he said, your iniquities have turned away these things of your sin that withholding good things from you. And so Saul's sin concerning the giving acts had dealt with a judgment. And so all of a sudden, his family that remained was going to have to pay the price for that. A covenant that had been made 400 years earlier during the time Whenever you make a vow, whenever there's a covenant that's been made, just like our names have been recorded in the Lamb's Book of Life, nothing will ever change that. Time does not know the memory of God, amen. clear that conscience. Amen. And so I thank God we've got to deal with that sin and get it right. And if we don't, Jesus Christ as our personal reason today by informing him that all of a sudden, the result of Saul's disobedience, that destruction of that settlement, it was a historical settlement that was there, amen. And so I thank God, we begin to realize that here was a problem, that the Yiddish Knights that had tricked Joshua, even though that that don't make sense, amen, God had kept up with that covenant, amen. We see the symbolic of that covenant, that settlement as well, amen. Because I thank God, the Bible tells us that the children of Israel had sworn under the name of a man. And so every one of us, as we make our pledges to God, and he keeps up with a man, he wants us to be able to keep up with those things, whether it's our business or whatever it is that we've done today to make things great, a settlement that was destroyed. That was the problem that brought about the sacrifice, the risk of essentially the significance down to verse nine, amen, we see the result of that settlement covenant that was destroyed by seeing the significance that was being demanded of them, amen. And so in demanding a punishment that was gonna have to take place, amen, and in verse four, we all read that the giving acts would not accept a monetary reimbursement, amen, from their boss. They said, we will not have no silver, no gold of Saul's nor They didn't want money. They didn't want to seek release from bondage or servitude. They didn't even ask for that. They said, you need to punish. The entire family was held guilty and accountable for anything that happened in the home. And so the crime to the father would be else of the family. Crime is wed. That would be a whole family. That's how they did things. And so it's believed that possibly all of the sons were involved in the crime because verse one refers to the bloody house. that he's saying in this. I don't know, I mean, but I'll tell you, the thing is, Saul should have never taken the lives. There was a covenant there. Saul done a lot of bad things with that man, and it cost his family after his death. And so in verse six, we see that it said he asked for seven sons of Saul, that they would be hanged up under the Lord in Gebeah. Saul, why not forget Gebeah? Because that is the land of the tribe of Benjamin where Saul was from, where Paul was from. And so all of this we're going to see hang on crucify. And so they took these seven sons and they're going to hang them up to pay your price for the father right now. Makes me think of the golfer one day that was out there and maybe he was infatuated with golf. So he laid out at work one day. He said, I'm going to go golf. Ain't nobody going to know a thing about it. He got out there where the angels were listening. And since he had never driven a ball more than 200 yards, he couldn't believe it. And then all of a sudden, his luck continued. Long drives every time they met, every hole, putting him right there and eagling and doing all of this. All of a sudden, he was six under par, playing near perfect golf. And it was almost he was done when all of a sudden, he ended up shooting an amazing 61, 30 strokes under his usual game, that he couldn't even wait to get back to the office and tell everybody and brag about it. Uh-oh, he made out of work. He couldn't tell a lie. Boy, I'm gonna tell you, every one of us, he tore up his car, he threw it away, went home, suffered, and offered his greatest punishment in silence. And yet, while we look at this story this morning, the significance of this sin is no laughing matter, because He said, be not deceived, God is not mocked for whatsoever remains silver, not shall he also reap. For he that soweth to the flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption, but he that soweth to the spirit shall of the spirit reap life everlasting. You can mark it down that sin always demands a price, a penalty, and a punishment. And the result of Saul's rebellion and refusal to obey God's law, seven innocent boys They had something to do with it according to the reading. I don't know that. But these boys lost their lives because the significance that was demanded for that punishment. And then we see the payment that was involved in verses eight and nine. But that broken covenant created a problem. David didn't want to break another one. And the only way, Jonathan and David had made a covenant with Bethesda. Remember, he was the one that got dropped, and he was crippled. But David found out about him. He said, you're coming to Eden to keep stable. And so he brought Mephibosheth to keep stable. And it was a covenant, a promise that he made with his close relationship with Jonathan. So he could not break that oath, even though. But then there was another mother, one of the daughters that had five sons, and the concubine that had two, that they paid the ultimate price. for this punishment, this payment that was there. Amen. I see the significance that's there because, in verse 9, he delivered them into the hands of the Gentiles, and they hanged him in the hill before the Lord, and they fell all seven together. Man, I'm gonna tell you, that's tough. But I want to tell you, each and every one of us, when we look and realize that as we go through life, we're reminded of some of the greatest sacrifices in America today is this significance of being at independence that's coming up, amen. It brings me to my third point, and final one, is the sympathy of that that was demonstrated in verses 10 through 14. That when you look at that, not only this mother's link to those sons, amen, but what she could do to be able We're informed that two of those seven boys were riskless boys, and we see that she cared for them, even though whatever they did or whatever had happened, Saul's concubines, who had borne two sons, those two sons who were sentenced and put to death, this little But yet she says, I've got to do something for these bodies that are out there, amen. And so all of a sudden, she goes out there and she makes herself a path. And the whole time that she's out there, she begins to wave off the vultures and the birds that come around with the bodies of those seven sons, amen. That's what she does. And so we continue to read on how she demonstrates her courage. those lost loved ones they've made. And so probably I would say at the story, she's in her 60s, she's in her 70s. And she's determined to keep the bodies of her sons and Saul's grandsons from being desecrated while hanging on the tree. And so her design was a decent burial for them. She makes no attempt to cut down the bodies as that was an active submission to God's judgment. But according to Mosaic Law, She was entitled to remove the bodies at sunset on the day of their death, according to Deuteronomy, chapter 21, verses 22 and 23. But she refrained from doing that, and so she won't for sure that God is appeased for what is happening because of this famine. that is devastating the nation and everyone through this judgment and this covenant that was broken, amen. And so when the rains would come again, she would know that God would be satisfied again. And so I thank God until that time, she becomes the guardian over those women that are out there, praise God. She continues as she's out there spread out on sackcloth, on a rock, amen, made her pallet where she would sleep day and night. that we read in the Word of God. Because what did we read? He said, From the beginning of the harvest, a good water dropped upon them out of heaven, and suffered neither the birds of the air to rest on them by day, nor the beasts of the field by night, that their soreness killed us, that our harvest was in May. And the first rains came in September. So from June, Also, it was the law of that day that anyone that was put to death under those circumstances could not be buried. And so they hanged there until the vultures picked them to the bones clean, or the beasts tore them down from off of their hanging. And so this mother, who was four months staying with those dead bodies, kept those vultures away from the fish. I tell you, what a mighty story of compassion that we read and see here today. And David gets the news in verse 11, amen. And I thank God, in verse 11, it was told David what risk the daughter of Ariel, the concubine of Saul, had done, amen. It touched his heart when he began to read He goes and takes the bodies of those seven boys, including Rispa's two boys, and the five others, and prepares a proper burial for them. He digs up the bones of Saul and Jonathan, and buries the bones of those with them in Benjamin as a result. And verse 14, and after that, God was entreated for the land. I'm glad that here was love that was being rewarded, of a love that was being rewarded for I get back to what I said earlier. Boy, if it was the day-to-day, that would be NBC, CBS, MSNBC, Fox, all of them would be out there covering that story, Ed Mann. And I'm going to tell you, the lesson that I learned, number one, from this, even though these men were accursed, hand on the tree. We're going to have that same attitude and dedication for Jesus Christ each and every day of our life. Amen. Our Lord took the sins of the entire world upon himself. His sacrifice demands our love and our loyalty and our dedication. Amen. And so the second thing that we see of Christa is she's protecting her loved ones on that tree. Amen. I thank God we're to guard and protect the Lord's reputation by the way that we live too. We're ambassadors for Jesus Christ. You ain't got to go pick a fight without somebody doing something. But once you portray yourself to be, is the greatest thing that you can show, the lesson that Rispa is showing today. All that some people know about the Lord, as Eugene Jenkins said, we're the only Bible that some people read, amen. And so I thank God, what they see in our lives, amen. Paul said in 2 Corinthians chapter 3, verses 2 and 3, he said, read of all men for as much as he are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ, ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the spirit of the living God, not in tables of stone, but in fleshly tables of the heart. I thank God we want people to get the right message about the Lord, and I thank God we don't want it to be a hindrance to others, amen. That third lesson that we get from Rachel, guard these dead bodies and remain so devoted and loyal and yet you're still faithful. I think all of this world will think the same of you and I. If you're dedicated to the Lord Jesus Christ, you go ahead and serve the Lord anyway and do the thing where people think you're crazy for coming to the house of God. Oh man, we can go out there and be doing some stuff today. You want to waste yourself going to the house of God today? Boy, the world thinks you're crazy today being here. Oh yeah. I'm going to tell you, you go ahead and serve the Lord anyway, praise God. Amen. Paul put it this way in 1 Corinthians chapter 4, verses 10 through 16. I know that's a lot of scripture, but man, I'm going to tell you, you can't speak the way scripture speaks. He says that you're fools for Christ's sake, but you're wise in Christ. Hallelujah. Praise God this morning. We are weak, but you are strong. You're honorable, but we're despised. And even under this present hour, we both hunger and thirst and are naked and are muffled and have no certain where to place it. And labor, working with our own hands, being reviled, we bless, being persecuted, we suffer it. Being defamed, we entreated, were made as the filth of the world and of the lost spirit of all things under this day. I write not these things to shame you, but in Bible of sons I warn you, for though ye have 10,000 instructors in Christ, ye have yet not my many followers. For in Christ Jesus I have begot you through the gospel, wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me. Boy, I thank God every one of us that full lesson that we learned from the risk of a man that she had to endure the difficulties for the wilderness, the weather, the wild animals and the depression. And she was steadfast like a soldier that was on duty for four months. Amen. We're enduring the hardships of our journey with Christ. Boy, I'm gonna tell you, they're tough sometimes, ain't they? Boy, I tell you, they're tough sometimes, ain't they? Every one of us, how do we do this? Well, the writer of Hebrews told us how to do it. Hebrews chapter 11, verses 24 through 27, amen. I've got about three minutes and I'll be done, amen. He says, by faith, Moses, when he was come to you, he refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter, choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God rather than enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season, esteeming the reproach of Christ, bringing the riches that the treasures in Egypt, for he had respect of the recompense of the reward. I think he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king, for he endured as seeing him who is invisible. Well, I thank God, every one of us, as we come together. Paul has his head above his problems and circumstances, and he's looking away from them. He's watching one thing that the Lord Jesus Christ say, amen. that begin to be more stressful every week as we get older, but we've got to look to the Lord Jesus Christ. You're not alone. Every one of us will come up against some of those type of things that will happen at the end of the day, or a week out, or a month out problem that will come and arise. And I thank God, Paul said, be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary, the devil, has a roaring mind, walking by, seeking whom he may divide. I'm glad that we learned that sixth lesson from RISDA about commitment and love that touches the lives of all the others. Man, that's exactly what we can do today, that we can touch the lives of those that are around us, amen? And I thank God as I close out with a little bit of story about the teacher that was hard on the little Her name was Mrs. Thompson. This come out of the chicken soup of the soul, full of soul. Amen. And I thank God when I got this. It's a touching story because I thank God. The first day of school of her fifth grade class, she told them a lie according to the story from Mrs. Thompson of Chicken Soup Full of Soul. She said she loved them all and would treat them all the same. But that was impossible because in front of her was a little boy that was in the seat 19. watched England a year before, and she noticed that he did not play well with other kids, his clothes were wrinkled and soiled, and he constantly needed a bath, and Danny, also, was unpleasant to be around, and she took delight in marking his papers with red X's and L's at the top. I remember some of those in my home. One of the school's requirements from the teachers was to review each student's records, and Mrs. Thompson took Danny's off until the very last. When she opened his file, finally she was surprised. He's bright, with a ready laugh. He does his work neatly, his good manners, and a joy to be around. Notice, that was first grade. He's in fifth now. Something's happened. Okay? Something has happened. And so, The second grade teacher in there wrote, Teddy is an excellent student, well liked by the other kids, but is troubled by his mother's terminal illness. His third grade teacher wrote, Teddy continues to work hard, but his mother's death has been very hard on him. He tries to do his best, but his father does not show much interest. The fourth grade teacher recorded these words, Teddy is withdrawn, doesn't show much interest in school. He does not have many friends, and he slips in class. By now, Mrs. Thompson realized the problem with Teddy. Christmas was approaching. Students had brought her gifts, all the beautiful wrapped packages except for Katie's, which was wrapped in a brown grocery bag. Hopefully, by now, something goes off in Mrs. Thompson's mind. Things begin to change from those X's of red and big L's of red. She stopped with a laughter because Katie gave her a package that was just in a brown paper sack that wasn't even wrapped. In it, it had a rhinestone bracelet that missed stones. And in those stones, a quarter full of a bottle of perfume that were his mother's. And so she took those up, she bragged about the beauty of the bracelet. She put the fragrance behind her ears and on her wrist. And when the class was dismissed, he went up to Mrs. Thompson and said, today, you smell just like my mom used to smell. And after everybody left, she cried for about an hour. On that day, she quit teaching. especially the boy named Ted. And as she began to work with him, the more he came alive. The more that she encouraged him, the faster he responded. And in the days of his important tests, she would remember to wear that bracelet and put on the mother's perfume. And finally, let me speak this up very quickly. One year later, she found a note under her door from Ted stating that she was his favorite teacher of all his teachers. Six years later, Teddy graduated from high school in third in his class. He sent Mrs. Thompson another note telling her that she was his favorite teacher of all time. Four years later, she got another letter stating the same thing. Teddy graduated from college with a highest honors. Four years later, he wrote her again explaining that he had continued his education. Four years, that's a step up even more. He graduated, he went to college four years, he's going four more years of college. I want to encourage you when I say this. Four years later, he wrote her again and explained that he had continued education. Ted was now a doctor of medicine. The story does not end here. That spring, another letter came from Mrs. Thompson. Ted explained that he had never met a young woman and was to be married. And he explained that his father had died several years earlier and was wondering if Mrs. Thompson would agree to sit at the pew reserved for the mother's groom. And on that beautiful day, Mrs. Thompson many years earlier and she smelled just like daddy's mother on their last Christmas together. You can never tell what type of impact that you may have on another person's life. I hope and pray that each and every one of us, just like this one, and everything that she did, service is nothing but love and we're close. And I hope and pray that we go out and we discover on our journey, whatever it is, If it comes as a sacrifice that we need to make ourselves to try to help somebody else, to give that service of love from this story that we have seen today, that man of a mother that gave so much and acknowledged the sacrifice that she gave this morning.
