Our Sunday School Lesson for tomorrow is titled:The Offering of Cain and Abel
Gen4:1-16
After the temptation & fall of Adam and Eve, in the Garden of Eden, they were cursed & put out of The Garden of Eden forever..Adam, then, knew his wife & she conceived & bore her first son, Cain. She acknowledged that he was a gift from God. She, then, had another son. His name was Abel. Both grew & had respectable occupations. Abel was a keeper of sheep, & Cain, a tiller of the ground. When it was time, they both brought offerings to the Lord. Cain brought, unto the Lord, an offering of fruit that he produced, from the ground. Abel brought unto the Lord an offering of the firstborn of his flock & of their fat..The Lord respected & was well pleased with Abels offering, but not that of the offering of Cain's. Cain became angry, so much so that it showed on his face.The Lord, then, asked Cain why was he angry & his facial expression had fallen?
Instead of Cain being repentant, he seem to be a little hostile towards God. God reminds Cain that if he does well, he will be accepted, but if he doesn't do well, sin lies at the door welcoming him, but he should rule over it & no it over you....Later Cain & Abel had a conversation, & when they were in the field, Cain killed his brother Abel..The Lord asked Cain where was Abel, his brother. Cain, knowing very well what he'd done, asked the Lord, Am I my brother's keeper? Eventhough the Lord already knew, He asked Cain what had he done because the voice of his brother's blood cries out to Him from the ground...God then tells Cain that he is cursed from the earth, which has opened its mouth to receive his brother's blood, from his hand...The Lord then tells him his gift of tilling will no longer be effective for him & a fugitive & vagabond he will be, meaning he will always be a wanderer with no permanent place to lay his head., but Cain, still unrepentant & selfish, only thought of himself & how this curse was too much for him to bear, fearing that he would be killed by anyone who finds him. God, in being the Loving and Sovereign God that He is, helps Cain, by saying, that whoever kills Cain, vengence will be taken on him sevenfold & He set a mark on Cain, so that he would not be killed...Cain then went out of the presence of the Lord & dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.
Cain's spirit wasn't right & it reflected in his offering to God. His unsettling spirit further revealed itself when sins continue to build up. He killed his brother, lied to God, & became angry, never ever feeling the need to repent, so he paid the price for the sins he caused upon himself...
Remember to give God what required. Give to Him your best.
Give with a zealous spirit.
Don't give just a little something, just to say that you gave. Give from the heart & because you want to. Give God what's right & not what's left.
Give in faith, not out of fear, and watch how the Lord Bless You. Have a Wonderful Worship Experience and Blessed Day and always Pray 🙌🏾🙏🏾

Our School Lesson for tomorrow is titled: David's Sacrifice
1Chronicles 21:14-30
David allowed the enemy to tempt him to do something against God's Will. This decision impacted the lives of many, even resulting in deaths. King David let the enemy convince him that he needed to number Israel, possibly to find out their strength, instead of trusting in God, who has proven time, & time again that power belongs to Him, & they just needed to continue trusting in Him. Joab wasn't with David's decision. He tried to convince David that the Lord would provide as many as they needed, but David went against God & proceeded with the census which turned out over a million, & that's not including everybody. God was not pleased.Israel was punished because of David's decision. After realizing his mistake, David confessed to God his great sin. He asked God to take away his punishment, but the Lord, not speaking directly to David, but through David's Seerer, Gad, gave David 3 punishments to choose from. There was one that would take place over a period of 3 years, the other 3 months & the last one, of which he chose, 3 days. I consisted of a plaque over the land, with the Angel of the Lord destruction throughout Israel.This resulted in 70,000 men of Israel dying.. God sent one of His Angels to destroy Jerusalem, but in the midst of the destruction, God had the Angel to stop! Saying, "it was enough." The Angel of the Lord now stood at the threshing floor of Orman, who was a Jebusite. David saw the Angel of the Lord, standing between heaven & earth, with his sword drawn & stretch out over Jerusalem, so David, along with the elder who were clothed in sackcloth, fell on their faces. David began to cry out to God, telling Him that he was the one who sinned & done evil, not His sheep, so punish him, & not the people. Gad was again instructed to give David a message, but this time, by the Angel, as given to him by God. He was told to build an Alter to the Lord, on the threshing floor of Ornan, the Jebusite. David was obedient & went to Ornan. Ornan & his 4 sons saw the Angel. His sons hid, but Ornan continues to thresh wheat. When Ornan saw David, he bowed before him. David, then, ask him to grant him his threshing floor to build the Alter to the Lord, with him paying full price, but Ornan offered it to David for free, with oxen & burnt offerings, wood & grain offerings. David declined his offer, saying he wouldn't take what is his for the Lord at no cost, but will pay the full price. David gave him full cost & built there, an Alter to the Lord. He offered burnt & peace offerings & called on the Lord. The Lord answered by fire on the Alter of burnt offering. As commanded by the Lord, the Angel returned his sword & sheath. David now, continued & remained at the threshing floor, offering sacrifices because the Lord had appeared to him there.
David, once again, was in the spotlight for making rash decisions, but this time, he didn't try to cover it up, but owned up to it, almost immediately after he realized what he'd done, & repented to God. I like the way he took full responsibility for his action & was not trying to take the easy way out. Honestly, with him being King, he could have just taken the threshing floor from Ornan, but he knew that would mean his heart was not in it & it wouldn't be true to God to give someone else's offering to God on his behalf.....
We should stay true to God, in all that we do & stop trying to help Him out, making rash, unwise decisions, when we don't think He's moving fast enough. ...

Our Sunday School Lesson for tomorrow is titled: Christ Dies and Rises to New Life.
Matthew 27:39-40; 45-54 & 28:1-10

After they'd plotted against Jesus, accusing Him of blasphemy & of threatening to destroy their precious Temple, they bounded Him & delivered Him to Pontius Pilot, where He stood before the people tried. There, they tried to trap Him, asking questions that they knew His response would cause an uproar, but they were not ready for His response. Pilate found no fault in Him & had the opportunity to release Jesus, but he let the people decide which prisoner to release.The people decided to keep Jesus. This is where the torture began. They scourged & beat Jesus, beyond recognition.They stripped Him, putting on Him a scarlet robe. A crown made of twisted thorns, was force down on His head & a reed in His right hand. They mocked Him by bowing down, saying King of the Jews. He was spat on & beaten some more, they then removed His robe & led Him, while carrying His cross to be crucified, then Simon of Cyrene, carried Jesus's Cross the rest of the way to Golgatha, (The Place of the Skull). There, they continued to torture Jesus, offering Him a sour drink, which He refused...Jesus was then crucified.. The people sat down & kept watched over Him, putting a sign over Him that read, This is Jesus The King of the Jews. People passed by & blasphemed Him, shaking their heads, saying, He who said He'll destroy the Temple & build it in 3 days, save Youself & if You're the Son of God, come down from the cross...
Now, from the 6th to the 9th hour, was darkness all over the land & about the 9th hour, Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, "My God! My God! Why Have You Forsaken Me?" Some who witnessed His saying, thought He cried out to Elijah & one of them, immediately, ran & took a sponge, filled it with sour wine, & offered it to Jesus to drink. Some told him to leave Jesus alone, so they can see if Elijah will come to save Him,...then Jesus cried out with a loud voice & gave up the ghost. At that moment, the veil of the Temple was torn from top to bottom, rocks split, & graves were opened, & many bodies of the saints that had fallen asleep, were awakened, & after Jesus was Resurrected, they went into the Holy City & were seen by many......Jesus had was lain in a borrowed tomb, owned by Joseph of Arimathea. (Because clearly, His death would be temporary).
After the Sabbath, at the first day of the week, just before dawn, Mary Magdalena & the other Mary, were heading to the tomb to see & to anoint Jesus's Body, with spices, when all of a sudden, there was great earthquake & an Angel of the Lord ascended from Heaven, rolled the stone from in front the tomb & sat on it. His appearance was so bright, that the guards, who kept watch at the tomb, shook & fell as dead men..The Angel told the women to not be afraid & that he knew that they were looking for the crucified Jesus, but He was not there, because He had risen just as He said. He then showed the the place where Jesus had lain & told them to go, quickly, & tell the Disciples that Jesus had risen, in deed, & is going before them into Galilee & there, they will see Him, so they went, quickly, as the Angel said, from the tomb, with mixed emotions, fearful, but yet, joyful, running to give the Disciples his words. As they were going, Jesus met them, saying, "All hail!! so they bow down at His feet & worshipped Him. He said, "Do not be afraid. Go tell My brethren to go to Galilee & there they will see Me."....

He Is Risen!! His Death saved my life! The veil was ripped & we can now go boldly before the throne of Grace, without High Priests, other Priests, Levites or sacrificial animals, yearly.
He Paid it all, Once & for All...His Resurrection changed my life! Because He lives, I can face tomorrow, knowing He's already there. Hallelujah!! I'm so glad I serve a Risen Savior, aren't You?
Have a Wonderful Worship Experience and Blessed Day and always Pray.
HAPPY RESURRECTION SUNDAY

Christ's, One For All Sacrifice!
Hebrew 9: 23-28; 10:1-4; 11-14 & 19-25.
For the past 2 weeks, we've been studying specific details, given by God, to Moses, on how the Tabernacle was be set up; specific animals, for specific sacrificial offerings; & the specific role of the high Priest. When God gave Moses these details or blueprints for the Tabernacle, it wasn't the first of this design. It was actually a replica of how it's set up in Heaven. The author is letting us know that, It was necessary for the copies of the things, in the Heavens, be purified with these things, but the Heavenly things, themselves, with better sacrifices than these. Christ, the Ultimate Sacrifice, can never be replicated or duplicated. Christ didn't have to enter the earthly replica of the Heavenly Holy places, that were man-made, because He is presently in Heaven with God, on our behalf & unlike the high priest, having to go annually to the Holy place, with the sacrificial blood of animals to atone for the sins, of not just others, but for the high Priest, himself, Christ came & sacrificed Himself for the remission of our sins, & It was only needed Once. Christ was offered once, to bear the sins of many...
The law was only temporary. It basically just exposed sin, but animal sacrifices could never take away sin, only Jesus did that.The law was necessary for that time, but It was just a shadow of the Good things to come....The Priests repeatedly offers the same sacrifices on that day of Atonement, which can never take away sins, but when Jesus sacrificed Himself, one time for our sins, It was forever. No need for repeat. He now sits on the Right Hand of God, waiting until His enemies are made His footstool, so for One Offering, Jesus has perfected, forever, those who are being sanctified.
The author is now encouraging the people the leave behind the Levitical law & to receive the benefits of the New Testament Covenant, in Christ, for He sacrificed His Life for us. He also encourages them to draw close to Jesus with a true heart and full assurance of faith, having their hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience & bodies washed with pure water. He says, let us hold fast the Confession of our hope without wavering, for He, Who promised, is faithful. He then says to be considerate to oneanother showing love & doing good, never forsaken the assembly of ourselves, together, but exhorting oneanother as the coming of Christ approaches.
Thank God for Jesus, Who took on the roles as the Ultimate High Priest and the One & Only Sacrifice needed for the remission of our sins.Thank You Lord that we don't have to wait once a year for a day to be forgiven, because we may just die while waiting, but because of what Jesus did for us, we can go to God, the Father, through Jesus Christ as often as we need or want to. Glory to God 🙌🏾
I pray that you have a Wonderful Worship Experience and Blessed Day and always Pray!

Our Sunday School Lesson for tomorrow is titled: The Day of Atonement.
Levitcus 16:11-19
God had made it clear that uncleanness of any kind, be it spiritual, natural, or physical, was not allowed in the Tabernacle.He required of them, complete purity, & didn't allow them to come before Him defiled. Now, 2 of Aaron's sons, who were Priests, went against the Lord's Command & offered unauthorized fire unto Him, resulting in their deaths. Things are to be as God commanded, step by step, like, only the High Priest was authorized to enter the Holy of Holys. The Lord sent Moses to tell his brother, Aaron, not to enter into the Holy place, (outside the veil), before the Mercy Seat, which was inside the Ark, anytime, or he might die.There were specific rules, even the High Priest had to adhere to, from the washing of his body, to the attire, (Holy garments), to be worn, to specific animals for specific offerings.He, also, have to offer a bull, as a sin offering, to make atonement for himself & his house. He, then, will take the 2 kid goats that he had received as an offering, from the congregation, to be use for a sin offering & burnt offering, presenting them at the door at the Tabernacle of meeting.He will cast lots to see which goat will be used as a sin offering & which would be presented alive to the Lord to be used for atonement. Aaron will then present the bull of the sin offering to make atonement for himself & his household, which shall be killed as a sin offering for himself. He will, also, take a censer full of burning coals from the altar, before the Lord, with his hands full of, sweet incense beaten fine & bring it inside the veil, putting the incense on the fire before the Lord, that the cloud of incense may cover the Mercy seat, that is on the Testimony, lest he die. Then, he will take some of the blood from the bull & sprinkle, with his finger, on the Mercy seat on the east side & then sprinkle some before the Mercy seat, 7 times.
Then, he will kill the goat that was presented as a sin offering for the people & bring it's blood inside the veil, repeating, with it's blood, what he did with the bull's blood to make atonement for the Holy Place, because of the uncleanness of the children of Israel & transgressions for their sins. No one shall be in the Tabernacle of meeting, while Aaron goes to make atonement in the Holy Place, until he comes out, that he may make atonement for himself, household, & the assembly of Israel. Then he will go out to the alter that's before the Lord & make atonement for it & shall take some of the blood of the bull & goat, & place it on the horns of the altar, all around, then, sprinkle some on it, with his finger, 7 times, cleanse it & consecrate it from the uncleanness of the children of Israel.

After reading all of this they had to go through, back then, to be forgiven, all I have to say is, Whew! Chile!! and Thank You, Jesus‼️Because of the blood that You shedded on Calvary, no more animal sacrifices are needed.. You were the Ultimate Sacrifice! None other can compare. No more yearly atonement, or just Sunday atonement. Go to Jesus, right where you are, and ask for forgiveness. He's just to forgive. Praise God!!🙌🏾 Singing,🎵"Oh, the Blood, that gives me strength, from day to day. It will never lose, It's power"🎵

Our Sunday School Lesson for tomorrow is titled: Offering a Sweet Aroma Unto God.
Leviticus 1:3-17
The Lord had given Moses the Commandments & other laws & regulations to give to His people. God had called for Israel to be a Holy Nation, not allowing them to worship like the Egyptians, nor would He tolerate sin. He gave Moses specific, detailed instructions on things needed for the building of the Tabernacle, & told Moses that He wanted the people to give of these things needed, freely, & because they want to, & not forcibly. He wanted a a place built where He could dwell among His People...The Tabernacle was completed. Priests were in place, but more importantly, God's Presence was there..When the Glory of the Lord filled the Tabernacle, during the Tabernacles of meetings, a cloud covered the Tabernacle & Moses was not able to enter at that time. The cloud of the Lord was above the Tabernacle by day & fire was over it by night.The Lord, again, called on Moses, this time, from the Tabernacle, to give His people instruction on the proper way to bring offerings. It should be; livestock of the herd, & of the flock, but if it's a burnt sacrifice of the herd, be it male or female, it should be without blemish & of their own freewill & at the door of the Tabernacle of meeting before the Lord. After he put his hand on the head of the burnt offering, it will be accepted to make atonement for him. He will kill the bull before the Lord & the Priests will take the blood & sprinkle it all around on the alter that's by the tabernacle of meetings, then skin of the burnt offering & cut it in pieces.The Priests will put a fire on the alter & lay wood in the order of the fire. The Priests would then lay the parts; the head, & fat, in order on the wood that's on the fire of the alter. Then the Priest would wash the internal organs & legs with water & burn it all on the alter as a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, a sweet Aroma unto the Lord. If the offering is of the flock, the sacrificial offering is to be done the same way.
Now, a burnt sacrifice of a birds/turtledoves/young pigeons, are a little different. It brought to the alter, where the priest wrings off it's head, & burn it on the alter; the blood shall be drained out of the side of the alter & the neck & feathers to be thrown on the east side, into the place for ashes.Then it shall be split, but not completely & it shall be burned in the fire on the alter & there you have it. It still gives a sweet aroma to the Lord...
The poor or less fortunate, were the ones who normally gave the birds/turtledoves as a sacrificial offering, but as we see it doesn't matter if the sacrifice came from a rich flock or a poor bird, as long as it's given freely & from the heart, it gives out the same sweet Aroma unto the Lord. I thank God for Jesus, because if we had to go through this ritualistic process for atonement, & being that it's done only once a year, we all would've died in our sins by the time we were forgiven..That's why I thank God for Jesus, because we can go to Him whenever, wherever, however, & anytime we want with our sacrificial offering of Praise & Worship unto Him, releasing that Sweet Aroma unto the Lord. Hallelujah‼️🙌🏾
Have a Wonderful Worship Experience and Blessed Day and Pray 🙏🏾

Our Sunday School Lesson for tomorrow is titled: A Space for God.
Exodus 25:1-9 & 26: 31-37
Israel had recently come out of Egypt, delivered from their afflictions by way of the Lord, through Moses...
Moses had been on Mount Sinai getting specific instructions/directions on what God wants His people to do. He had given him the Ten Commandments; Laws, & more instructions..In today's lesson, God had given Moses specific instructions on the offerings that were to be given from the people, because there was a purpose... He instructed Moses to take only the offering unto Him, from those that give willingly & from the heart. It had to be a freewill offering. He also gave specific things needed for offerings. They were: gold, silver; bronze; blue, purple & scarlet thread & fine linen; goats hair; rams skin dyed red; badger skins & Acacia wood; oil for the light & spices for the anointing oil & for the sweet incense; onyx stones, & stones to be set in the ephod & in the breastplate. Then God said, "Let them make me a Sanctuary, that I may dwell among them, according to all I show you, that is, the pattern of the tabernacle & the pattern of all its furnishing, just so, you shall make it." The Lord then gave Moses the blueprint to designing the tabernacle. Here we see the purpose for blue, purple, scarlet thread, & linen. It was to make a veil. It was to be woven with an artistic design of cherubim, hung upon 4 pillars of acacia wood, overplayed with gold. Their hooks shall also be of gold, upon 4 sockets of silver. The veil shall be hung from the clasps. The ark of the Testimony is to be placed behind the veil. The veil shall divide the Holy place from the Most Holy. A table shall be set outside the veil, with the lampstand across from the table on the side of the tabernacle towards the south; and the table shall be placed on the north side. A screen shall be made for the tabernacle, woven of blue, purple, & scarlet thread & fine woven linen, made by a weaver, & you shall make for the screen, 5 pillars of acacia wood & overlay them with gold; their hooks shall be gold, & you shall cast 5 sockets of bronze for them.
Moses was the only one who had communication with God, but God let Moses know that He wanted to dwell among His people, & with that, He needed a place where they could come and worship Him. In order for this to happen, Moses was given specific, detailed instructions as to how It shall be built, and God also gave Moses specific items/supplies, of offerings, that were to given from the people, but of their own freewill, that was needed to build this Tabernacle. Nothing was to be taken by force or givenbegrudgingly...
Like today, when we give, we should give freely, because we want to & not because we feel forced. Remember, God loves a cheerful giver! In doing so, freely, we Bless God. I know, today, we have many Churches and places to worship, but what about your physical temple, your body? Does it represent a place where God may dwell? Amongst all that's within you, is there Space for God? If not, it's not too late to make room. Just ask Him to come in.
Have a Wonderful Worship Experience and Blessed Day and Pray 🙏🏾🙌🏾

Our Sunday School Lesson for tomorrow is titled: Don't Be a Goat! (Kingdom Life)
Matthew 25:31-46
In today's lesson, as Jesus continues to teach the Disciples while on the Mount, He was asked about when would the "Second Coming" take place. Jesus proceeded to tell them of things that would have to take place before this happen, including many coming in His Name, claiming to be Him & telling them not to be deceived by them, also He told of the wars & rumors of wars; Nations & Kingdoms rising against oneother; famine; earthquakes, false prophets; hate amongst people; people will be killed for His Name sake, but even with this, No man knows the hour or day, except His Father, in Heaven, but Jesus forewarned them, in His teaching, using parables to help them understand. He uses the parables the "Two Servants;" the "Ten Virgins;" & of "The Talents." In these parable are message to to stay woke & be watchful, because we know not for, certain, when the Lord will return, & to utilize our gifts/talents to honor God...Then Jesus tells them that when the Son of Man, (Him), come, He will come in His glory, with all of the Holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the Throne of His Glory, where all nations will gather before Him. He will, then separate the sheep from the goats, as shepherds do. The sheep will be on the right & the goats on the left. He will welcome the sheep to come be blessed & inherit the kingdom that was prepared for them, before the foundation of the world, & He tells why they are receiving this blessing. He says, "When I was hungry, you gave Me food;" "I was thirsty, you gave Me drink;" "I was a stranger, You took Me in;" "I was naked, You clothed me;" "I was sick, You visited Me;" "I was in prison, & you came to Me."
They asked the Lord, When did we see You hungry, thirsty, sick, etc..?
Jesus, the King, replied, "Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to the lest of these my brethren, you did it to Me." And to the goats on the left hand side, He will say, "Depart from me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil & his angels. Why?..Because they did not give food or drink to Him, when He was in need; they did not take Him in, when needed, nor visited Him when He was in sick or imprisoned. The goats also wanted to know when did they see Him like this & didn't help? Jesus replied to them, as well, with, "Assuredly, inasmuch as you did Not do it to the least of these, you did not do it to Me." The goats will go into everlasting punishment & the sheep, eternal life...

Be Watchful! Do unto others, as you would do unto the Lord! Use your gifts to the Glory of God, not for self-gain, but for eternal gain.

During the day, Shepherds allow the sheep & goats to roam together in the pasture, eventhough sheep are mild & calm & goats are stubborn & wild, but, at night, they seperate them...Today, as we mingle in this world, some of us are sheep status & some are goat. When night comes (judgement), which side will you be placed on, right (sheep), or left (goat)?
As far as goat suppose to stand for, greatest of all time, there has only been & will forever be only, ONE-Greatest of All Time, & He is The Lamb of God, not a goat....

Our Sunday School Lesson for tomorrow is titled: Living Lastly
Matthew 19:16-30
This week's lesson is about the Rich, Young Ruler, who approaches Jesus, asking about entering the Kingdom of Heaven....After Jesus had finished His teaching, He left Galilee & came to the region of Judea beyond the Jordan, where many followed Him & were healed by Him. Then, the trickster Pharisees approached Jesus trying to see if He would answer the question, regarding divorce, correctly, which was an epic failure for them. Jesus, then, layed His Hands on the children that were brought to Him, & prayed for them, eventhough the Disciples were displeased with the children being brought to Jesus, maybe because they felt the children were too young & were wasting Jesus's time, but Jesus, also, proved His Disciples wrong...Now we come up to the Young, Rich Ruler, who approached Jesus, referring to Him as, "Good Teacher," & asking, "What he shall do to gain eternal life?" Jesus's first response was, "Why do you call me good? "There's only One that's good, & that's God." Jesus, then, gives him the answer to how he can enter. He says, "Keep the Commandments." The man wanted to know which ones. Jesus gives him some of them. The man said that he'd kept those from his youth & then basically said, "What else do I need to do?" Then Jesus told him something that he was probably not expecting & didn't want to hear. Jesus told him to sell his possessions, give to the poor, follow Him & he will have treasures in Heaven....The young man found that hard to do, so he walked away, sorrowful...Jesus turn to His Disciples, because this had become a teaching moment for them..He said to them, "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than it is for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God." After hearing this, the Disciples wanted to know, then, "Who can be saved?" Jesus's response was, "It's impossible with man, but, with God, All things are possible." Meaning..Salvation is possible only through God's Devine Grace. Peter's reply to Jesus's answer was they had left everything to follow Him, so what's in that for them? Jesus's response was, Assuredly, I say to you, that in the regeneration, (new birth), when He sits on the throne of His glory, the 12 that have followed Him, will also sit on 12 thrones, judging the 12 tribes of Israel, & those who have left everything & everybody, for His Name's sake, will receive 100 folds, & inherit eternal life," but many who are first, will be last, & the last, first."

We can follow all of the Commandments, & the Church's traditions & bylaws, but if we are not Born-Again believers in Christ, & are not willing to leave everything to follow Him, yes, we will have eternal life, but, not with Christ. Build your hope on things Eternal, not on the things of this world. Your many possessions does not mean that you're any closer to God than those who are less fortunate. Remember what He said, the first shall be last & the last, first...Only what we do for Christ will last.
Have a Wonderful Worship Experience and Blessed Day and Pray!🙌🏾❤
