Here’s
a prayer of thanksgiving and commitment from Christine Sine.
Prayer
God,
we are aliens and sojourners in this world,
but
you invite us to be your guests.
You
lavishly offer us your hospitality
and
lovingly welcome us into your family,
You
invite us to share in the abundance of your kingdom.
God,
you have shown us that providing hospitality to strangers
opens
a doorway into the Kingdom of God.
Remind
us that when we offer hospitality to others,
we
are receiving Christ into our midst and so fulfilling the law of love.
We
open our hearts to embrace the stranger, the friend, the rich, and the poor,
We
open our lives to offer a generous heart toward all.
