Mother's Day Greetings and a Prayer Request

Hello all—Happy Mother’s Day!

It’s not often that a Mother’s Day greeting is combined with a prayer request, but today I wanted to take just a moment and send Mother’s Day greetings and also ask for prayer for a very special family.

While I did not have the pleasure of meeting Mr. Ralph Sappington (an amazing musician and man of faith from what I hear), it is every day that I am blessed to work with, assist, and support in work and friendship his son and my brother in Christ, Pastor Will Sappington. And occasionally I am doubly blessed to be able to watch over Will and his wife, Kaia’s, absolutely gorgeous and delightful daughter Evangeline (affectionately known as Evie Lu) for a few minutes while Pastor Will dashes off to oversee something for just a moment.

Early last week, Pastor Will’s father suffered a massive stroke and was finally called home to the Lord yesterday morning with his family at his side. Mr. Sappington has joined Heaven’s band and I cannot wait to someday finally meet him and know him. So today, while we are all celebrating Mother’s Day, I hope that you will all just take a moment and say a quick prayer of love and support for Ralph’s wife, his children, his granddaughters, extended family and friends. Today, we are so blessed to have each other.

Hold your dear one’s close!

Mother’s Day blessings and love to you all!
