Dear Friend,

As family and friends begin to make plans for Thanksgiving, the observance is expected to be filled with food and laughter, celebrating the holiday that started with the pilgrim’s grateful hearts, way back in 1621.

As this year’s celebration draws closer, plans to celebrate with a big and fabulous meal go into motion. Turkeys, fresh and frozen, fill grocery store refrigerators and freezers, and soon find their way into homes, as families await the big day. Consumers purchase loads of pumpkin pie filling and whipped cream. Thanksgiving decorations are hung on doors or arranged on shelves above the fireplaces. Cinnamon candles are lit in home, and the aroma reminds of the special time of year.

Other families hope for lost loved ones to join them in the much-anticipated feast, and for opportunities to express forgiveness and attain reconciliation. It’s a time for hope that God’s love and grace will bring restoration and redemption to surround the entire family.

God shares this desire. For, one day in heaven, we will sit at the table with our King, Jesus Christ, to enjoy the feast that has been prepared for us. Though harvest at this season means devouring a turkey meal, for The King it will be a time of harvesting souls.

A feast with Christ will no doubt be filled with the gratitude of the saving grace that has made it possible for each of us to sit with our Lord, knowing that all have been forgiven. Family and friends reunited, no more hurts, no more sicknesses, but rather surrounded by a love that never fails and never ends. It is His love, overflowing like a waterfall, ripples and splashes of living water bringing a super natural beauty.

However, until that time, much work needs to be done here on here-work that involves helping the hurting to know they are loved, a work that continues to speak of our Creator’s love, forgiveness, grace-and a better life than thought possible. More than ever, families are facing the enemy’s attempt to delude people about their sexuality or gender. A work Living Stones Ministries is committed to!

Alfred North Whitehead once said “No one who achieves success does so without the help of others.” If Living Stones Ministries has been a success, it has been because of Gods blessings and the faithfulness of friends like you. Thank you so much for your wonderful prayers and support of this ministry! We are honored and blessed to serve you, and so many others.
