Grace of God through New Friends
“May God be gracious to us and bless us,
may the face of the Lord shine upon us
and all the ends of the earth will honor our God.”
--From a Psalm of God’s people,
Chapter 67, selected verses
God’s grace comes to us in a variety of ways. As new opportunities come our way, we gain new understanding about the awesome nature of God’s holy presence among us. I am finding, enjoying, and learning more about the graciousness of God.
You may have noticed that the face of the Lord is shining these days with new friends in your life – new neighbors or employees, new people on sports teams, at church, new members of organizations. It is important that we help welcome and integrate these folks into our community, at home, at work or at relaxation. As these new folks with their hopes, dreams and goals blend with the “seasoned” group, we all discover God gracing us and blessing us in refreshing ways.
A prayer: Gracious God, continue to bless the work of our hands as we join together with new friends and ideas. Amen.
