Dedicate
  

   Hello Beloveds! As we celebrate this Feast of Dedication this week, I pray we continually seek , ways to dedicate our time, our talent , our treasures and especially our temples to The Most High God. 💕☺️ And ask ourselves are our thoughts worth pennies ? Or rubies ? I pray we fill our heart and mind with the scriptures and become wise and a light in this dark world and when we speak let it illuminate the dark, comforting those who are hurting, being a sign of Christ to those who are lost, and may we do our reasonable service, our duty and serve The Most High God with zealous hearts and humble hands. This I pray with all the strength I have beloveds with a smile . This meditation Monday in Christ’s name (Yashaya) I pray.
