To all my dear family,
I wish you all a beautiful day today with family and friends. We all know that Thanksgiving is a time to be thankful for the blessings of God but also the gift of each other.
If you look at the word ‘Thanksgiving’ it really means giving thanks. But are we really thankful or do we really know the depths of which God gives us?
The word ‘thanksgiving’ is very close to the word ‘forgiving’. The Spirit had said that ‘to forgive is to give in advance’. Meaning to truly forgive someone is to give them in advance our love even though we know they may hurt us. It is as Jesus loved Judas knowing the day would come that he would betray him. Roger asked Jesus once, “What happened to Judas? Did he go to hell or purgatory? Where?” Jesus responded, “He hanged himself for what he did but all of you keep doing it.” Meaning Judas felt so awful in betraying the Lord that he hanged himself but we who betray the Lord and Him in each other do it not only once but it is ongoing. Yet the Lord keeps life in us each morning to be awaken to a new beginning to the realisation of the Love we must give to one another.
“Love one another as I love you.” He didn’t say, “Love one another as I have loved you,” like He ended His love for us. It is ongoing, continuous, as it should be in us for one another.
So let us give thanks for the breath and beat of our hearts He gives us. It is the proof of His forgiveness and mercy for us because He continuously keeps life in us. Each breath we breathe is the proof He forgives us because He gives us in advance the life knowing that one day we will recognize the love He has for us and that of others.
So let’s be thankful for that love by showing it in our forgiveness for one another. Let there be no malice or hatred in our hearts for anyone starting by those closest to us, our family, husband, wife, daughter, son, father, mother, friend, neighbour or stranger. Maybe they don’t know the love of the Father because we ourselves have been sent by God to love them in His name but chose not to. They may not know the love of God because of us.
So let us be thankful for the chance to finally show love to one another and those around us. To love someone is to uphold them in the light that is God, so when they are exposed to it they may enlightened to God’s love in us and they too will learn to love. But it begins in our hearts first. You cannot ask anyone to do something if you do not do yourself. “So love one another as I love you for then you too will know the love of ‘I’ in them that has been awakened by ‘I’ in you Who loves all of you.”
I thank you all for your support, prayers and love for this mission which is continuously working for you and all. I thank You, my Father for all these mothers and friends of the mission who carry You continuously is their hearts which is Your shelter for all to be in and be loved.
God bless you all and I love you always. My life is for you always and the will of God.
Yours truly,
Anna-Maria Everett with the Spirit only
