God,Thanksgiving and Family: "Oh Lord We Ask For Wholeness -Nothing Missing , Lacking or Broken"-Amen

Belated Thanksgiving: Let us continue this season with the same principles of giving and compassion.
God Bless You, I am sending all that e-mailed me during the holidays w/ an explanation by copy (in parts) of why you are just hearing from me, and if you have not read" Thank you Mr. Curly "on my page, I would encourage you to do so; it was also a part of the great blessing of Thanksgiving and God’s wonder work given. I also must give praise to my God Jehovah-Jireh because my entire tithe was tripled within 15 minutes of me giving it ( thank you Apostles Cook and Hall,Evangelist Edmond and saints for the principle knowledge of tithe), when I wasn’t sure except for one thing that God provides. And the blessing is still touching me in whatever I need. God Bless you in a mighty way, all my sisters and brothers; continue to pray for me as you all are constantly in my prayers- Sis. Sandra Dukes, Assoc- Minister
P.s. Prophetess Pinki Moore – I try to read all my BPN friend’s pages – just before sending this “l-o-n-g “e-mail to everyone I read your powerful e-mail/ prayer again because of how I was blessed with the Holy Ghost as I was responding to your message .I was prompted to send the copy of the correspondence between my brother’s and (my -by mother’s marriage) 1st cousin Chay. It was a confirmation when I read your hometown which is the original birth and home place for the Henderson family. I do not believe in coincidences when you stay prayerful; only in God’s wonder.

Part1- Chay's letter
To My Family

First of all I would like to say that family means the world to me. Webster dictionary describes family as: A group of people united by certain convictions or a common affiliation. We are that group of people. We came together for a common cause and we made two sisters and one brother very happy. We came together and made a first cousin that we consider an uncle very happy as well. None of know how much time that the Lord has allotted us on this earth so we need that common bond to hold us together and we need to know that we have each other to count on and depend on in good times as well as bad times. Our cousin Sandra traveled from Texarkana to be with and re-unite with a family she thought had forgotten about her. But we never forget family no matter how far away they might be they are always close in our hearts.

Our next huge function will be the family reunion in July. I will update you on exactly what date the family reunion will be. But I do want you to know that whenever we get together it is a family reunion anyway.

I know that sometimes we get so caught up in our personal lives that sometime forget that there are family members out there that need and require our help, they require our help if only to call and say hello or just to see how things have been going. I want each everyone of you to know that I will be calling and checking on you a constant basis and I please if there are any other family members that you have e-mail addresses for please send them to me so that can get messages from the family as well. E-mail is such a convenient way to keep in touch but I like looking at all of your beautiful faces. I might be impartial but I believe that I have a beautiful family, a family that is not only beautiful outward but inward as well. Some of you may not know even though I have not seen you a lot over the years I still stop and think about you, and I miss being a part of your lives.

Your perseverance and your quickness to my call to have family come together showed me that we are all in agreement that the family needs to be connected back together as one naturally. I feel spiritually we have always been connected.

Barbara Ann and myself have birthdays coming up on January (31st ) and February (1st) and we want to get together and celebrate a special milestone in our lives so if you can I will be e-mailing you with what we decide to do and then we can meet together and celebrate this occasion. If not then we will celebrate together and wish you were there.

We will be ordering T-Shirts for the family reunion in July. I would like everyone to keep in mind I will need a count from each family how many they will need and the sizes and I will also be e-mailing you the price of the T-shirts. I want us all to be at the family reunion this years so that is why I am pushing this early so people will have time to take off of work and re-arrange their schedules so they can be there.

Please know that I love you all and I thank God every day to have you as a part of my life.

Love,
Chay

Part 2 -My reply:

Dear Chay,
Thank you for such a beautiful letter it really touched my heart and I am promising to come home (Houston) more often. I was really moved by everyone rallying together after Thanksgiving to make me feel welcomed. Aunt Allie V. was marvelous and being with her and you all was truly a blessing. God knew in His infinite wisdom I needed this connection at this decisive but anointed season in my life and career. I will always remember Aunt Allie V. and I singing “I Thought" in the kitchen ,over all that delicious food and feeling joy for the Lord, each other and the rest of the family, those there and those not. I am not amazed because God works like that ,but that identical action is in scene one of my play " This Tedious Journey-/ My story -my song". I want to thank everyone and to let them know that they were all in God's plan, for a prayer being answered and I love them and I am indebted forever for their act of love and support. You know we all know and speak of the proverbial son in the bible - well I am the proverbial daughter, I was welcomed with the a family's love covered with the blood of Jesus and for that I will be better and more convicted to spread the gospel of God, love and family everywhere I go. Let us all continue to pray now, for the proverbial son, my brother Roderick ,to come back to the fold and be embraced and empowered.- Amen Hey name-sake Sandy Gail! Hey kids- our generational blessing and evidence of prayers being fulfilled.
Love - your cousin Sandra Gail Dukes----- but much more important your sister in Christ. How powerful is the praying and obeying of a family? -Blood of my blood covered in the Blood of Jesus! How can we not succeed in all we request from God if we believe and obey? Let me go, I'll be preaching (smile)
