Song of Songs 7:12 Let us go early to the vineyards to see if the vines have budded, if their blossoms have opened, and if the pomegranates are in bloom— there I will give you my love.
A house down the street has two Forsythia bushes in the front yard. Even though it’s early January the bushes are speckled with yellow flowers. They are blooming because this usually cold season has been unseasonably warm. If you think about it, people are somewhat like those bushes. Put them in a warm and inviting atmosphere and they, too will blossom. When we encounter others we sometimes have no idea the winter they may be facing in their life. Maybe we can offer them a warm smile and a friendly word.
Gracious and Holy God, Thank you for the warm sun that brightens our days and thank you for your precious Son who warms our hearts with his love. Help us, Lord to be sensitive to those who need the warmth of our friendship and care. In Christ’s name we pray. Amen.
