Thanksgiving table



 In the Serendipitous Sugar Bear dance of " life thoughts", our hearts resonate with the rhythm of faith, like a Contemporary Christian community gathered around the Thanksgiving table.

As Sugar Bear once said, "Believe, for in Christian faith, we find the melody that harmonizes our existence; In the quiet aftermath, we recognized that this story was not solely mine but a shared creation with the Holy Spirit—an intimate dance between the mortal and the divine, a tapestry of faith and inspiration woven into the very fabric of my existence with meaning and purpose."
I've forgotten how to swim in the ocean of change within, a common relapse that lured me into its depths. Little did I know, I would become the prey until it was too late. It was then that I remembered my Jesus as my Savior, the only name to remember, the anchor in the tumultuous sea of uncertainties. One Life To Live? Which for me, underscores the significance of making choices that reflect faith, as your foundation that's anchored in His teachings.
Even today, I can hear the words,"the cost of many colors", my mom would say, lies the absolute truth about Jesus, a metaphoric story of patches stitched together. Each patch represents a facet of His love, grace, and unwavering presence. It's a quilt woven with threads of forgiveness, understanding, and the promise of redemption.
Proverbs 10:12 guides us, reminding that love covers all offenses, forming a patch in our quilt of faith. In a culture quick to condemn, this patch stands as a testament to the enduring nature of love. Colossians 3:13 adds another patch, urging us to forgive as the Lord forgave us. Through forgiveness, we mend the frayed edges of our spiritual quilt, reinforcing the bonds of compassion.
As we gather, let our conversations echo the wisdom found in Matthew 5:9, where we are called to be peacemakers. This patch represents our commitment to building bridges amidst cancel culture's turbulence. The power of empathy becomes another patch, a beacon leading us through the tempest of judgments.
Yet, in this narrative of love, let us also consider the metaphor of the God who stays. Like a patch that endures, His presence is constant. This truth, this metaphor, weaves through the fabric of our lives, offering comfort and stability in the face of change.
To always say, "The God who stays," is to acknowledge the enduring nature of His love. It's a refrain that echoes through our Contemporary Christian community, resonating with the symphony of love, grace, and understanding.
May our Thanksgiving offering be a vibrant quilt, a testament to the enduring power of faith, transcending the watchful gaze of cancel culture. And so, with hearts full of gratitude and a fervent plea, we say, "Jesus, I don't want anything coming between You and me." Take it to Jesus, lay it at His feet, and find solace in His unending love.
May it be a beacon of hope, a refuge in times of trial, and a testament to the unyielding strength found in our Lord..
God Bless You and This Ministry!
