Something Special about the Guest – v5

We pause to reflect

to search for deeper meaning

not merely the words

but the truth within the reading

Something worth remembering

in the action of the stranger

something special about this guest

seeking Christ where he was

Boldly going, entering

an uninvited guest, welcome,

seeking healing, wholeness

a touch from our Lord

In our lives, in our ministry

continuing Christ’s labors

our gifts being given, offered,

to be used for God’s kingdom

Seeing the uniqueness

the needs of each stranger

being open as he was, as Christ,

wherever we find them

Sharing the love of God

to all whom we meet

being the witnesses in our time

being Christ’s hands and feet
