Thought for Friday October 30

Praise the Lord, Jerusalem.
He has granted peace in your borders;
with the best of wheat he fills you.
He sends forth his command to the earth;
swiftly runs his word!
Praise the Lord, Jerusalem.

Luke 14: 1 – 6 On a sabbath Jesus went to dine at the home of one of the leading Pharisees, and the people there were observing him carefully. In front of him there was a man suffering from dropsy.

How often do I invite people who are suffering to dinner in my home? Does it make me uncomfortable to eat with someone with a “visible” disease?

Action: Start thinking about your plans for the upcoming holiday season. Consider spending part of your time serving those who are “visibly” suffering instead of just the usual insufferable relatives. [My family of course has none of these.]
