Today, I was reminded of the power of simple moments—how God weaves people into our lives at just the right time. A routine task at church turned into an opportunity to listen, to pray, and to hold space for someone carrying a heavy burden. It made me think about how often we go about our days unaware of the struggles others face, yet God calls us to be present, to listen, and to reflect His love in even the smallest interactions.

I am grateful for the ways God continues to show up, sometimes in unexpected conversations, sometimes in the quiet moments of reflection. I pray that I keep my heart open to these divine appointments, that I never underestimate the impact of a simple prayer or a compassionate ear.

Lord, help me to be present, to listen well, and to reflect Your love to those who need it most. Amen.

“Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by doing that some have entertained angels without knowing it.” – Hebrews 13:2

Reflection:

Sometimes, the most ordinary encounters hold divine significance. We may think we are simply going about our day, solving problems, or completing tasks, but God is always at work, weaving our lives together in ways we may not fully see. The person standing before us may be carrying a silent burden, and in that moment, we have the opportunity to be Christ’s hands and feet—to offer a listening ear, a prayer, or even just a kind word.

God places people in our path for a reason, just as He placed Scott in yours today. What may have seemed like a simple interaction became a holy moment—an opportunity to witness, to care, and to intercede. This verse from Hebrews reminds us that when we extend hospitality, even in small ways, we may be encountering someone sent by God.

May we open our eyes to these moments, recognizing them as sacred invitations to love, serve, and reflect Christ’s presence in the world.
