1 Corinthians 14:3 The one who prophesies speaks to people for their strengthening, encouraging and comfort.
Our three dogs seem to be bottomless pits. They are always looking for food. If I open the refrigerator or pantry or the cabinet where we keep crackers and pita chips, at least one of them is right at my feet. As long as I have food in my hand, I have their undivided attention. As a pastor I am seeking to find what we can offer others that will get their undivided attention. What is it that our unchurched friends, family and neighbors want most that we can offer? How do we let them know we can do that? As for ourselves, how do we find what we are seeking from a relationship with the divine? Maybe in our journey towards spiritual self-fulfillment, we’ll discover ways to reach out to others.
Holy Lord, How blessed we are to be a part of your Church. We pray for those who don’t know those blessings. Help us to reach out to them and to draw then into your kingdom. In Christ’s name we pray. Amen.
