When We Gather

A Series of Sacred Belonging

Scripture for Today:

How good and pleasant it is when God’s people
live together in unity.

— Psalm 133:1

Questions to Ponder:

Who do you choose to gather with?
What extraordinary grace has come from it?

Reflection:

We gather in homes, in the workplace,
in places of worship, and at community events.

When we gather, extraordinary things happen.
We reminisce.
We share stories.
We learn new things.

We sing.
We dance.
We make music.
We celebrate—
milestones, traditions, and ordinary days.

We gather to belong.
To be seen. To be heard. To be valued.

Gathering is communion.
It is Sacred belonging.

But let’s be real.
Sometimes, when we gather, we hurt.
Unkind words are spoken. Personalities clash.
We feel sad.

Gathering is hard work.
But worth the time and energy—
because we become better.

We learn to give one another space.
To listen more than we speak.
To adjust. To filter our speech with grace.

Because gathering isn’t just about showing up—
it’s about showing up in love.

And God?
God shows up when we ask.

So if you need extra comfort as we gather for Thanksgiving,
ask God to lead you through it.
To meet you right where you are.
To carry you through.
To take you where you need to be—

A Place of Sacred Belonging.
