Last Sunday - the Final Sunday of the Church year - was the Feast of Christ the King - the Kingdom of God is in your midst - you are invited to be part of that Kingdom - a very different Kingdom - for it is a Kingdom of Love and Peace - a Kingdom that we are invited to be part of - by transforming our lives in the model of Our King, Jesus Christ.
Christ the King - so different - for he accepted death for us - death on a cross - with a crown of thorns on his head - proclaiming for us to see the unconditional love that God has for us.
I want to invite you to become more fully a part of the Kingdom of God - you are invited - Jesus invites you - I invite you - when you accept that invitation - you will be overwhelmed with the grace and love of our God - so that you can take that love into your life and world - and then share that love and peace with all you meet - so that your community discover the happiness that we are all called to find.
As we celebrate Thanksgiving - let us do so in the spirit of our King - recognizing the great and wonderful gifts that are ours from the God who loves - the greatest of these gifts will always be the forgiveness that our God offers to us - we are a saved people - we are forgiven our failures - we always have a new opportunity with the Lord - Thank you Lord - with your forgiving spirit I am never afraid - I know that you will understand and guide me in the future.
I pray this day in gratitude for all those wonderful people that you have made a part of my life - those people who have guided me and loved me - so that I could be come this person that I am - please watch over them - and give them the reward that so deserve - especially for touching my life.
