Scripture: Romans 12:13
Contribute to the needs of the saints; extend hospitality to strangers.
Thought for the Day: Going back to the mid-70’s, Disney had a movie entitled, Peter’s Dragon, starring Mickey Rooney. It is the story of an orphaned boy who had an invisible friend who just happens to be a dragon. There is a scene in the movie where the boy is the scapegoat for a bad happening. Someone yells, “There’s no room here for you.” In good Disney fashion, this gives rise to a song that has as its first line, “There’s room for everyone in this world if everyone makes some room.” It is an easy request if the person we are making room for is someone we know and like, but the Apostle Paul calls us to make room for the stranger. It is too bad that Disney often proclaims the message of the church better than the church does.
Prayer: Help me to make room, O Gracious God, for all those in search of a little room. Amen.
