Good morning, God
It figures, God! The person who came to your worship service a week ago wasn’t in church yesterday. After worship last week the person asked for help – help to get moved, help to store belongings, help to get something to eat, help to get someplace. And, God, the people of the church were like the people in every church – open, welcoming, attentive, helpful. The church people shared their time, talents and treasure with the person. The person said “Thanks” then “I’ll see everyone next Sunday” but “next Sunday”, yesterday, has come and gone.
Lord, forgive us for being a bit hurt by this. Help us to understand how people just “take” even as a blessing from you, and don’t return to say “thanks” and worship you. At least, Lord, people know that they can usually get assistance through your house, but your place is so much more than just an “aid station” – it is a sanctuary from the world for those who love you. It can be a sanctuary and place of rest for those who have used it for help. May it be so.
In Jesus name, Amen
