Take care of the poor

 Good morning! Here we are, a day after our celebration of the birth of Jesus. Today you bring forth Proverbs 19:17 - take care of the poor. Poor in materials and poor in spirit. What do we have to offer? We have our time. We have our finances. We have our abundance of things. But most importantly, we have your love to spread. You are in us and we are to give of you freely. It doesn’t cost us anything! Just a loving open heart. Lord, as we press into the new year, give us a heart of giving and blessing the poor in spirit. Show us who needs it. Show us what that looks like. Show us how to serve you by serving others. 

Lord, I pray over the camper and those living arrangements during this cold season. Put a blanket of protection and warmth over it. I also ask for safe travels through the snow and weather. Thank you for getting us home safe last night.

In your name we pray these things, amen.
