What We Bring to the Table

And thus you shall greet him:

"Peace be to you,

and peace be to your house,

and peace be

     to all that you have."

             1 Samuel 25. 6

(What if we greet others

       like that?

What if we had

     that attitude and heart

  toward those we know

  and even utter strangers?

God places people on our path,

not just for a reason or purpose,

         but for His glory.

There are no random encounters,

              only divine ones.)

O LORD,

 May we be the ones

   who bring peace to the table,

   peace to the troubled,

   peace in unexpected places.

May our words and deeds

             and attitudes

be a blessing to others

    and bless Your holy name.

Help us to approach

    the situation before us

    and the people you place

                   in our lives

with the mind of Christ

     and Your radical grace.

You are the God of shalom.

May Your peace mark our

     comings and goings.
