GOOD MORNING:
WELCOME:
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN:
“IF I COULD I WOULD GIVE MY MOTHER FOUR DOZEN OF ROSES THIS MORNING BECAUSE SHE ALWAYS REMINDED US AS KIDS THAT SHE WANTED TO SMELL HER FLOWERS WHILE SHE WAS LIVING AND DIDN’T WANT TO WAIT UNTIL SHE WAS GONE TO PUT THEM ON HER CASKET.”
“MY MOMMA: MATTIE SPILLMON THOMPSON WAS A LOVING, CARING, WONDERFUL, GOD FEARING WOMAN. SHE IS THE REASON I AM A MINISTER OF THE GOSPEL TODAY. YOU SEE I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT JESUS BUT, I NEVER WANTED TO BE A PREACHER. MOMMA USED TO ALWAAYS READ AND QUOTE SCRIPTURES TO ME AND EVERYTHING. SHE WOULD ALWAYS SAY BABY GIRL NOMATTER WHAT YOU DO IN THIS LIFE I WANT YOU TO ALWAYS PUT GOD FIRST IN YOUR LIFE ABOVE ALL ELSE AND HE WILL LEAD AND GUIDE YOU IN JESUS NAME! WHEN I BECAME GROWN AND WAS GOING TO VARIES CHURCHES THE MINISTER WOULD CALL ME TO COME TO THE ALTAR AND SAY, I DON’T HAVE TO PUT OIL IN CYNTHIA’S HAND BECAUSE HER HANDS ARE FLOWING WITH OIL THEN HE SAID TO ME GOD IS GOING TO USE YOU TO BE A CONDUIT AND AT THAT TIME IN MY LIFE IT KIND OF SCARED ME SO I JUST RAN FROM GOD LIKE JONAH.”
“LATER ON IN MY LIFE I WAS GOING THROUGH SOME THINGS, TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT I HAD TO HAVE A BIOPOSY AND THE DOCTOR SAID I HAD A GROWTH SO THEY TOOK IT OUT AND STITCHED ME UP LIKE NOTHING WAS WRONG AND DISCHARGED ME FROM THE HOSPITAL SO I WENT BACK DOWN MOMMA’S HOUSE. I THANK AND PRAISE GOD FOR MY MOMMA AND MY DADDY REST THEIR SOULS BECAUSE GOD BLESSED THEM TO TAKE CARE OF ME. WHEN WE GOT BACK TO MOMMA’S HOUSE SHE COOKED AND EVERYTING BUT, I COULD NOT FEED MYSELF, MOMMA HAD TO FED ME AND LITERALLY TAKE CARE OF ME BECAUSE I COULD NOT DO ANYTHING FOR MYSELF. I WENT TO THE BATHROOM BUT, NOTHING WOULD COME OUT NEVERTHELESS, MY BODY JUST STARTED SWELLING UP MOMMA TOLD DADDY TO CALL THE DOCTOR BECAUSE SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH CYNTHIA AND SO HE CALLED THE DOCTOR AND THE DOCTOR TOLD DADDY TO TAKE ME TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM FAST AS HE COULD!”
“I COULD NOT EVEN SPEAK. ALL I WAS ABLE TO DO WAS LOOK AND LISTEN. WHEN THEY BROUGHT INTO THE HOSPITAL THE NURSE CALLED MY DOCTOR AND HE TOLD HER TO GIVE ME AN ENEMA AND SO SHE DID BUT, THAT DIDN’T WORK SO SHE CALLED THE DOCTOR BACK AND HE TOLD HER TO GIVE ME A SUPPOSITORY BUT, FIRST SHE PUT IN A CATHETER THEN SHE GAVE ME A SUPPOSITORY AND THAT DIDN’T WORK SO SHE CALLED THE DOCTOR BACK AGAIN AND SHE SAID HIM NOTHINGS WORKING FOR THIS PATIENT AND HER BODY IS SO SWOLLEN. SHE ASKED HIM HOW SOON CAN YOU GET HERE. I GUESS HE TOLD HER TO TAKE OUT THE CATHETER BECAUSE SHE DID AND SAID THE DOCTOR IS ON HIS WAY MA’AM. FINALLY THE DOCTOR CAME AND HE HAD A PUZZLE LOOK ON HIS FACE LIKE HE DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO SO HE SAID WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO CALL IN A GENERAL SURGEON FOR THIS PATIENT.”
“THEY CALLED DR. BEN MACK TO OPERATE ON ME BUT, BEFORE HE COULD GET STARTED HE TOLD MY PARENTS YAL NEED TO CALL YOUR RELATIVES SO THAT THEY CAN GET A LAST LOOK AT CYNTHIA BECAUSE IF HE COULD NOT GET HIS TEAM TOGETHER THAT I WOULD NOT LIVE UNTIL MIDNIGHT. THEN HE TOLD MOM AND DAD I HAVE AN IDEA OF WHAT MIGHT BE WRONG WITH ME BUT, I HEARD MOMMA SAY, DOCTOR DO WHATEVER YOU HAVE TO DO TO SAVE MY LITTLE GIRL. I THANK GOD FOR DR. BEN MACK BECAUSE HE WAS ABLE TO GET HIS TEAM TOGETHER AND HE TOLD ME THAT HE HAD TO WASH MY BODY OUT THREE TIMES BECAUSE OF ALL THE POISON THAT IS SUPPOSED TO GO ON THE OUTSIDE OF MY BODY WAS GOING INSIDE OF MY BODY. MY DOCTOR DID NOT TELL ME THAT HE HAD CUT MY COLON IN FACT HE DIDN’T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT UNTIL MY GRANDFATHER FATHER ASKED HIM ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED THEN HE SAID THAT LASER THAT HE WAS USING CUT MY COLON AND IT WASN’T HIS FAULT NEVERTHELESS, I THANK AND PRAISE GOD FOR MY LIFE, HEALTH, AND STRENGTH!”
“MOMMA TOOK OFF WORK A WHOLE WEEK TO BE AT THE HOSPITAL WITH ME AND AFTER EVERYONE HAD LEFT MY ROOM MOMMA SAID BABY GIRL I SEEN MANY PEOPLE DIE AFTER GOING THROUGH SOMETHING LIKE THIS! WHAT HAVE GOD TOLD YOU TO DO THAT YOU ARE NOT DOING? I SAID MOMMA GOD WANTS ME TO GO ALL OVER THE WORLD PREACHING THE GOSPEL AND I TOLD HIM NO BECAUSE I DON’T WANT TO BE A PREACHER I JUST LOVE TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT JESUS! MOMMA SAID, YOU FOOL. I SAID MOMMA YOU CALLED ME A FOOL. AGAIN MOMMA SAID, YOU FOOL, ACCORDING TO MATTHEW 22:14 FOR MANY ARE CALLED, BUT FEW ARE CHOSEN! DON’T YOU KNOW GOD IS OUR CREATOR I WANT YOU TO REPENT AND SAY YES TO GOD AND TELL HIM THAT YOU WILL DO HIS WILL! GOD WILL GIVE YOU EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO FULFILL HIS PURPOSE FOR YOUR LIFE IN JESUS NAME!”
“SHE SAID YOU ARE FIGHTING A LOOSING BATTLE CYNTHIA ANN AS SOON AS YOU GET BETTER I WANT YOU TO GET ON YOUR KNEES AND ASK THE LORD FOR FORGIVENESS IN JESUS NAME. WHEN I GOT BETTER I GOT ON MY KNEES AND PRAYED, ASKED GOD FOR FORGIVENESS I GUESS I WAS TOO LOUD BECAUSE A NURSE CAME INTO MY ROOM AND THOUGHT SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH ME BUT, EVERYTHING WAS MUCH BETTER AFTER THAT!”
“GOD DIDN’T HAVE TO CHOOSE ME BUT, I AM SO GRATEFUL THAT HE DID!” AND NOW I WANT MORE OF GOD IN JESUS NAME!”
I PRAY THAT I HAVE SAID SOMETHING TO UPLIFT AND ENCOURAGE SOMEONE THIS MORNING IN JESUS NAME! AMEN.
ALWAYS REMEMBER: GOD LOVES YOU AND SO DO I!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAMMA I LOVE YOU SO VERY MUCH IN JESUS NAME!
