And she is from I said earlier from Dallas, Texas, which you know, there's some things in Dallas I don't like. But it so happened that her and her lovely husband and daughter in Dallas, Texas, I have to like them in spite of their mother in Dallas.

And she's chosen to be with us tonight and certainly it's been a blessing to see ones come from here all the way up and they're not ripping and running in the street. They're on the Lord's side. And she is a member of the Potter's House there in Dallas, Texas and not just a bench warmer but she is working and one of the choir members there at the Potter's House.

Well, all right. Well, all right. He just He just came out of that one, didn't he?

All right. All right, before we get into the music, I got to say something about Lady Barber. I I got to say something because he's right.

Pastor Barber's right. I started coming to their house when I was about 5 or 6 years old. And uh I had a hard time with my mother uh about them.

And always wanting to go over there. I was telling my husband at the hotel, I said, "You know, back then, I used to make up stuff like uh I'd go to Robbie uh Sister Barber, I'm sorry. I'd go to her and I'd say, "Can I come to your house?" And she'd say, "Yeah." I said, "She's going to say no." And she said, "I got you." And so, when church was over, I said, "I'm going to I'm I'm going to her house.

Going to Robbie's house." And she said, "She don't want you over there today." And then, she would just swoop on in in her soft way, and she said, "Uh May, uh I got something for Charlene to do today, and I need her to come over." And she's like, "What?" And I said, "They're going to bring me home later." And I remember doing this. Now, I'm 62 now. And uh that was a long time, and I'm still here.

You know, the Bible says to raise up a child in the way she go. Right? And so, I was raised right.

I was raised right. And so, and I was around good people. You know?

So, I thank God tonight for Robbie. I do. I know I'm supposed to call you Sister Barber, but to me, you'll always be Robbie.

You know? Always making grits for me and eggs. Always making macaroni and cheese for me.

Always letting me sit and go with you and sit with you. Always being her girl. Now, I've been married 37 years.

Yes, I have. This This year will be 38. And Robbie told me something.

Uh my mother passed away in October. And so, Robbie told me uh on in a phone call, she identified my husband as her new boyfriend. I couldn't act any kind of way cuz it's Robbie, right?

So, I told him, and he said, "Yeah, that's my new girlfriend." So, so we're just going to keep it in the family, right? Right? She stole me from my mother.

Now, she's stealing my husband. Okay, it's okay. It's all right.

But anyway, Robbie, I love you. I do. I do.

I love you, and I wouldn't have missed this whether I had to stand here or sit back there. I'm going to be here for you. And forever and Barber, I'm always going to be there for y'all.

All right. So, we're going to move on, and we're going to have a selection I'm going to hide behind the mountain. Followed by that, we're going to have My Us um a tribute My Aunt by Reverend Cynthia Long, and then My Friend by another friend of mine, Lady Deans.

To Big Daddy. And to all of the other preachers, evangelists, members and to my good friend, Robbie. Well, so I thought I had got away this evening.

I came in and I said Missed just a ceremony. Shirley Tucker I got away this time. Leave it to Pastor Barber, right?

You always have to be prepared. So, I am not prepared though tonight. But my friend, Robbie Robbie and I have been friends for so long, I don't even remember when we met.

Say again, sleeping? He said sleeping. That probably is true.

But um I don't have a lot of friends. And if you have one friend you've got a lot. And I can truly say that Mrs.

Barber is my friend. No, I didn't grow up on What is that, South Nassau? Was that Was that the address?

Nassau Road, 705 Nassau Road. But Miss Barber and I spent a lot of Sunday evenings at 329 West Sunrise Highway in Rockville Centre at the Golden Reef Diner. I have to tell you, I don't know who slept the most, me or her.

But um Reverend and Reverend, they were doing their thing and Robbie and I were sleeping half talking and we would always be sleeping laying on each other's shoulder. Uh the man used to say, "Why don't y'all take these women home?" And Robbie and I would still be sleeping. But I want to let you all know that Robbie is a true friend.

Um Robbie might not tell you always Mrs. Barber might not tell you always what you want to hear. But she is a person of integrity.

Robbie and I be Mrs. Barber, I keep saying Robbie, y'all forgive me. Mrs.

Barber and I belong to an association called the International Ministers' Wives and Ministers' Widows. And there's sisters from all over the country and nation in this particular organization. And one of our slogans is it takes a minister's wife to know a minister's wife.

And let me tell you Robbie and I have shared some things that will probably go to our grave. And I know that I could talk to Robbie and I would never hear it again. Because some of us are not so kind and nice to each other.

Um What they say, they smile in your face and all the time? Y'all know that song? Y'all I ain't been saved all my life, Reverend.

But um some of us are just not so kind. And um as I say, I found Robbie to be a true friend because you know, sometimes things get a little wild and twisted and I got to tell y'all I might look all calm but I got a hothead sometimes. Confession Confession is good for the soul.

And Robbie has that calming spirit. She knows how to calm you down. And Robbie, I want to tell you tonight that I thank you for being my friend all these years.

We've traveled all over the country together. But you don't get slow on me now. You don't want to You don't want You You don't want to fly anymore.

But I need you I need you, Sister Barber. I need you to get back on that plane and fly some more and help calm my spirit. Help calm my spirit.

But anyway, I I am so happy to be here this evening to share with my friend. Um Y'all see my to come and be a part of the worship tonight because she's got a friend who doesn't like to get on a plane. So the only way I could get here was in the car.

So, feet swollen up, everything swollen up, but I'm here and I'm happy to be here. And Mrs. Barber, once again, thank you for being my friend.

Keep loving me and keep spreading the good news wherever you go. I love you, girl and we will always be sisters and friends. God bless your heart.

Amen. Amen. That was beautiful.

To find a friend God said that we have to show ourselves what? Friendly first. And so she Barber Robbie has shown herself friendly friendly over the years.

And so because she's shown herself friendly, she has all of you here tonight. Amen? Amen.

Even when our mother and father told us to do right, we did wrong. We ain't been good all our days. But if we just count the cost and look back from where WE COME.

AND GOD WITH his good self reached way down and picked us up. Turned us all the way around. PLACED OUR FEET HIGH ON SOLID GROUND.

NOW WE GOT A TESTIMONY TO TELL. LOOK WHERE he brought me from. Ain't he good?

Ain't God good, y'all? Ain't he good, y'all? Ain't God still good tonight?

Oh, yes. I'm going to move on because we didn't come to have a program, but we come to do what we was told to do. And and and and there's a little song that Reverend Barber want me to sing.

And and you know, he he's the shepherd of the house, and he might not let us come back if I don't do it. Cuz see, every time he come down our way, he always telling me, "Sing my song. Sing my song." So, I'm going to sing it tonight for Sister Barber and dedicate it to her, but I want Reverend Barber to to hear it, you know.

You'll be She said come. She said okay. Okay.

They always get mad when I don't do nothing right. Let's let's give all of the groups a hand. Now give yourselves a hand.

Let's give our MCs a hand. Sister Page, they always told me that there's a blessing and a benediction. Uh before we get down to the honoree uh I always take notes.

A lot of times not on paper but up here. And I just want to thank Sister Nelson in her absence as well as Sister Page as the honoree right uh It takes a preacher's wife to know what another one goes through. But it takes a pastor's wife to know what another pastor's wife goes through.

And Sister Page has certainly been an inspiration to my bride more than she realizes. And as I say a lot of times people be talking to you you don't realize what a blessing you are to someone just talking to them. And I know that being a first lady for a number of years 30 30 long years she knows what another pastor's wife goes through.

And there's no substitute for experience. And I want to thank you from the very depths of my heart for the encouragement that you have given to my bride. And from me to you Sister Nelson is not here but I would pretend this you know that she's away from her brother still.

But Sister Page I want you to know that I thank you from the very depths of my heart for what you've done. And as I said here and a lot of times you do things you don't realize what you're doing or realize the blessing you are to someone else. So from me to you I want you to accept this as a token of my love and thank you for being I got her cake plate been trying to get it back to her.

And I said long as I got it I can't get nothing in it. And I'm going to make sure you get that cake plate back in order that I might receive Good afternoon everybody. I only have two presentations and I am not going to be long.

All right. So first thing I wanted to say was look what God has done. This has been a beautiful beautiful night.

Thank God for the singers for what you've done, the prayers that have gone up, the scripture it's been beautiful. Sister Barber we love you. But my first presentation is to Sister Charlene Turner.
