When I discovered "Learning to Read "by Frances Ellen Watkins Harper, I realized that literacy wasn’t just about letters—it was a key that opened every locked door of dignity and destiny.
May 28 – Serendipitous Thoughts by Sugar Bear
“Today, I ended the month not with answers, but with abiding peace.”
“Now may the Lord of peace Himself give you peace at all times and in every way.” —2 Thessalonians 3:16
“I believe in the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come.” —Nicene Creed
Personal Reflection:
Some months rush by like a race; others feel like a storm.
This one? It was a little of both. But here I stand—not because I figured everything out, but because grace carried me.
Looking back, I see footprints beside mine I didn’t notice at the time—moments when Christ held me up, whispered through Scripture, spoke through others, or simply reminded me to rest.
I’ve been crucified with Christ… and that means I don’t measure success by perfection, but by presence—His presence in me.
And that presence brings peace: not as the world gives, but as only the risen, reigning, returning Christ can.
Closing Encouragement:
Faithful children of God, here’s how we close this month:
Not with fear.
Not with regret.
But with a whisper and a promise:
“Lord, You are enough. Your peace is my anchor. Your resurrection is my hope. Your Spirit is my fire.”
So as we walk forward, we don’t need clarity—we need Christ.
And with Him, we have everything.
God bless you and this ministry. Amen!
