BRING MY FAMILY BACK TO THE TABLE!
Reflection by Rev Mama Joy, Rev. Joy Sigur-Ramza -- who went to the Table Top event held in Chicago and reported on in the June Logic of Love News.
Greetings Sister Fannie Smith!
You hosted a very unique show of table settings that you received/collected from the many parts of the world during your travels. In June 2016, I purchased a ticket from Evangelist Greta Myers to support the Mission of Sister Fannie Smith in her table sales to support WFWP’s Schools of Africa Project that she is directing in the US.
After receiving a call from Sister Greta to please come out and see the beautiful tables, I reluctantly went to the Halsted address because my congested schedule did not allow much comfort, plus I felt that I had already purchased a ticket and that should have been sufficient. Parking was not the best so that increased my mind struggle and fuss; but finally, I found a place, and my mindset was to go in, greet attendees, hang for a few minutes, and graciously leave.
Upon entering the room all the heaviness left me, and I felt ashamed because there was a spirit of royalty and grandeur of a creative energy circulating through the room and I stood in amazement. I found myself planted in a room of many rooms and expressions. “In my father’s house there are many mansions.” The magnificence of royalty, elegance, and grace of the spirit intimidated me because this, I had never experienced before.
Finally my feet began to move about and my mind questioned, “Can I afford this?” I bought a ticket but that was not enough for this, right? I moved about the room observing each of the many tables’ own unique set-up and suggested target (price): Pastors, wedding, prayer, fun in the tropics, amazing colors; in each you could feel the detail of love. Amazed by this world of table tops, I and my mind gave way to the murmurings of Fannie and I tuned in. I heard, “I want these to be a blessing...These tables were meant to go to the families and bless them. I have too much of this stuff in my house. I can hardly move around in it. They have got to go and do something. These were gifts to me from others and now I am offering them to others. And so from my heart, I cannot just give them away. The quality is too good and it won’t be appreciated if I do. They have blessed me and I will bless others. Someone can use these things. It will be a blessing to the family.”
I have no idea how many times she said, “It’s in my heart. God put this in my heart.” I, Mama Joy, have learned to listen and I heard and now understood what was taking place. A ministry “From the Heart” was birthing right before my eyes.
I realized that this was a new calling and opportunity to tune in to the mission of Father Moon’s mission in a very creative way, and speak to the family as the cornerstone of this new day. I heard a voice speaking and I went to Fannie and I shared with her. This is what Father Moon is speaking: “Bring the family back to the table. Bring the family back to the table. As Children of the Most High Heavenly Parent, you bring my family back to the table.” (Thank you Holy Spirit, Father Moon, Mother Moon.) Fannie had birthed from her heart and her womb of love, a demonstration of heart gifts to continue to flow to the hearts of others to increase, expand, and grow the message to the family to come to the table.
As I was watching the video “Standing in the Gap for Families.” I was transported in mind and spirit to my childhood, and as a child I remembered my mother and father sitting with us as a family, discussing matters of interest and instilling values effortlessly in us at the table. “Respect yourself. Love your neighbor. Do your best in school,” and so much more.
There was a table that reminded me of New Orleans in “the Golden Time of my days,” my most precious moments of nature. It brought Joy to my spirit. Fannie picked up on it and said, “Joy, that is you. I will help you get it.” She gave me more than a fair price. Sticking to her values she continued, “I cannot go lower than that.” Not only did I hear her, but I understood her. Everything should have a price and value in order for the gift to be respected and appreciated.
Moved by the lesson of Fannie’s words, the spirit of Father Moon again graced me with wisdom as a mother, woman, and minister of God, with great clarity. This was a new expression and a call for family to come to the table and do the Will of God at the table personally and collectively; and know that in the Home of Heavenly Parent there are many tables as Jesus taught, “In my Father’s House there are many mansions.” Father Moon and Mother Moon have demonstrated for many that lesson. My brother (Imam Ernest B. Abdullah), was among the ones who experienced eating at different tables from the palace to the valleys while visiting Korea. He shared his stories with me of Father Moon.
I am so grateful to Fannie Smith and Greta Myers for blessing me to have another peep into the love, heart, wisdom, and mind of Father Moon’s spirit, and hear what is being said to bring healing, great thriving, and good health to our land and country of America. Bless you, Fannie, and I hope this can be of some help for you to know that your work in the Holy Spirit of Authenticity is touching the heart of God for that Universal Spirit to move the hearts of others closer to the “Original Idea and Intention for God’s Purpose.”
Hallelujah!! With Love, Mama Joy
