Today the church celebrates Pentecost, the day long ago the Holy Spirit visited thousands of people from many different cities, nations, cultures, and languages, gathered to observe the Jewish festival of Pentecost. And brought them together in mutual understanding and unity to embark on a new way of life in God’s kingdom. They marveled that though they spoke many different “foreign” languages, they all understood each other and wanted to follow Jesus and live into his teachings about a new way of life.

The Spirit was definitely moving on their behalf!! I will be posting more in the days to come about what happened back then, so we can reflect and on it and learn more about how God’s hand reaches out and helps people, so we can learn to reach back and take God’s hand in faith… My prayer is that we in our time, today and going forward, will also have a visitation from the Spirit and receive the strength and help we need from God to mend our broken world and bring justice to our lives and the places we live. Wishing everybody peace and God’s many blessings β€οΈπ
