Wichita Kansas Mission Church : Have A blessed Thanksgiving..Mission Update

Thanksgiving,

It is not against the Word of Our Father as clearly over and over in the Torah we are commanded to give an offering of Thanksgiving….clearly the pilgrims were doing just that thanking the Father for delivering them from starving to death….

Traditions are clearly ok unless they are based on pagan customs or are contrary to Torah…the pilgrims were fleeing paganism.

Thanksgiving is a wonderful time to give thanks to him for all he ahs done for us throughout the year and it should be a day in which belief's do not clash…Sad that now we are in danger of losing this festive day in which we used to have great dinners and join together with friends and family for such a wonderful time of celebration.

You see now greed sets in and people are more interested in getting ready for the store to open for the big sales. People stress over buying things they cannot afford and in many case really do not need or rather the person they are buying the presents for really do not need.

Old traditions of family and good times are given away to dreams of that sale, messages now put in children's minds of buying things that will not last instead of keeping family traditions that last beyond lifetimes of love and family….but that is how satan works destroy the family….

We at messiah's Branch also gave up our Thanksgivings at home with all the relatives 15 years ago so we could carry on this tradition with the people the Father wanted us to care for.

We gather at the Wichita Mission Church to give the poor not just a home style meal but a day and night of love, family love, the kind they are missing….yes I do miss those family get togethers' that I grew up with, things like the weird aunt or uncle ( does not everyone family have one?) football, overeating and falling asleep…all the children being too loud with calls from elders saying go outside and play…

But so do the poor miss those things in their lives so we try and give that day of love to them….

This year it is going to be skimpy, donations for Thanksgiving are really the lowest they have ever been. Yes maybe some last minutes donations will come in we are praying so, but we will serve what we have or like mom said to me… " It may be a varied dinner because if I have to will take everything from our house to the Mission Church they will get dinner" of course they will what we have belongs' to the Father and not us anyway.

Luke 14:12-14 Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompence be made thee. ¹³But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind: ¹⁴and thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.
