While Thanksgiving may be a holiday unique to the USA, its core represents something the entire world desperately needs today: gratefulness.
It’s the absence of gratitude that often gives rise to unchecked entitlement. Entitlement, in turn, creates fertile ground for blindness effectively blinding us to the struggles and humanity of others. In this blindness, we descend into ignorance, where we destroy what we fail to understand. From the barren fields of ignorance, we cultivate destructive criticism, tearing down anything that dares to grow, thrive, or make a meaningful difference. And it is from this place of destruction, that we selfishly rebuild, only to perpetuate the cycle all over again.
Consider with me that if this is ever going to change it will very likely begin with gratitude - thankfulness for the very differences that make us unique. It will shift when we can appreciate our neighbors, even when they don’t look, think, or live like we do. It will transform when we strive to see others as God sees them, to feel for creation as He does - not just our preferred corner of it, but the whole.
So, whether today finds you carving a turkey, sharing hummus and falafel, or savoring a burger, let’s all take a moment to pause and consider what it would mean to live every day from a place of genuine gratitude.
Happy Gratefulgiving, everyone!

Yeshua died with his arms wide open so that each one of us would know that we are ALL welcome and loved. Not only for the thief that repented and the one that didnt but also the ones that continue to harm and destroy others. Not only for the one that goes to Church or the one that doesn’t but also the atheist and the agnostic. Not only for the heterosexual and the homosexual but also the transexual and the bisexual. Not only for the black and white but also all the ones in between. Not only for the poor and the rich but also the middle class. Not only for the Republican and the Democrat but also for the independent ones. Not only for the non immigrant and the immigrant but also the refugee. Not only for the winner and the loser but also the rest of the field.
So let today be once again a reminder for all of us to open our arms to welcome and love everyone in the same way He did on that cross all those years ago in Jerusalem.
The journey begins!

To All the Fathers Out There:

Thank you for stepping up to the plate of fatherhood when it would have been easier to ignore it and walk away. Thank you for accepting this precious role from The Father of us all. Thank you for often denying what you wanted so that others could have what they desired and needed. Thank you for putting others before your true identity. Thank you for being an extension of Gods strength and leadership to those he has freely given to you. Thank you for fathering those that had no fathers and for being a father to those that you did not help to reproduce.

Being a father is not a status but a lifestyle we choose. Part of an identity that is fused together deep within our hearts with the one who gave us our lives. Allowing this to outwork itself through us takes practice and time but above all else, it takes real guts.

So to all of you out there whom have accepted the invitation to travel down this road, I commend you and congratulate you. May God always give you the eyes to see that the impact your life is making is going to go on and affect many generations to come.

HAPPY FATHERS DAY!

As we approach a new year instead of making a new resolution to change something about yourself how about you choose this time around to focus on being yourself?
Happy New Year from the entire The New a Jerusalem Family!

So there are those that say that Christmas is a pagan holiday instituted by capitalism. Others say that it is at the wrong part of the year because Jesus was actually born around the first half of the month of October. Others say that it is a great opportunity to gain new converts and get people to feel guilty about not following Jesus. The reality is that the list could go on as with most things in religion. Yet, as far as I am concerned I see Christmas as a time to give and receive, to love and heal. A time of unity and togetherness. A time of peace and tranquility. A time of intimacy and appreciation. A time of respect and acknowledgment. A time of innocence and joy. A time of forgiveness and grace. A time to feel the heart and relax the mind. A time of mercy and compassion. A time where all these wonderful fruits given to us by the giver of life are in evidence. A season when many become aware of the very things that keep them going the rest of the year though they seldom take the time to see it.
I am thinking if the Apostle Paul was alive today he would have said something similar to what he said all those years ago and I paraphrase. “Even if they don’t do it like you do. Even if they don’t see it quite like you do. Even if they communicate it in a different way that you would. Even if they miss the mark according to what you think. Let them because at the end of the day even if they don’t know it they are talking, singing, and celebrating Yeshua.
Therefore have a wonderful Christmas all of you wherever you are and whomever you are. Celebrate, sing, eat, drink, and don’t forget to be very Merry with all those around you…
The New Jerusalem Family!
