Speaker 1 Sunday morning, Mother’s Day. Well, it’s a special day. Today. We have doctor Alveda King and she’s a niece of doctor Martin Luther King Junior, and she’s involved in religion. She’s involved in she’s a state representative from Georgia. Well, miss King, today is Mother’s Day. What is your vision on today being Mother’s Day? What is our kids and

grandkids going to be safer in the future.

Speaker 2 Well, John, good morning and happy Mother’s Day. So all the mothers, grandmother’s, great grandmo and somebody might be saying, well, I’m not a mother. I never birket the child. And some people have adopted children and didn’t have the children from their wombs. And most women, not all women, but most women have helped the mother somebody. And it’s important.

You know, a neighbor, a friend, a relative, a kind word to a kid who was starving, and you made sure they got something to eat. So women of America and around the world mother and those with hearts of mothers that care about people. Half the Mother’s Day. That’s how I feel about today. Now, I birthed six children.

Unfortunately I had two abortions and a miscarriage, but I birthed six and I’m the grandmother of thirteen grandchildren, so I’m very excited today. Before you asked another question, did you know Friday, the President and the First Lady had a Mother’s Day lunchon in the Rose Garden I think, and they had some angel moms up there. I didn’t

know if people knew about that.

Speaker 1 Well, we all remember our mothers, and my lost my mom, and very many years ago we remember. I mean, I love my grandkids and I want a better world for them to live in. And I think that could be a special gift to all mothers, that everybody works hard to make sure that our mothers, because of their kids

and grandkids, have a better life to come in the future. What could be better than that, I would.

Speaker 2 Agree with you. And maybe every woman has a lot of mother but every woman had a mother. You think about it that way, and some of us, you know, you might say, well, I didn’t have the best mother or dad or family and it just wasn’t a happy childhood or whatever. I’m so sorry about that. If that’s

the case. However, we today have the ability of human being. My uncle remend doctor Martin the King Junior said, we can learn to live together as brothers, and I’ll add his sisters, and not parish together as schools. So we can maybe agree that everybody has or had a mother, even if you’re not a mother. So that’s what’s so

important today. The world needs more love. A mother’s love is marvelous. Only love stronger than a mother’s love to me is God’s love. Honestly, I’ll thank you the truth, but our love is important. Kindness, repentance and all of that is something that we can all think about today.

Speaker 1 Thank you so much, and happy Mother’s Day, and happy with Grandmother’s Day. God bless you, God bless America, and God bless the world. May peace prevail.

Speaker 2 Thank you, my friend, Thank you so much,
