Genesis 18:2-4
God appeared to Abraham at the Oaks of Mamre while he was sitting at the entrance of his tent. It was the hottest part of the day. He looked up and saw three men standing. He ran from his tent to greet them and bowed before them.
He said, “Master, if it please you, stop for a while with your servant. I’ll get some water so you can wash your feet. Rest under this tree. I’ll get some food to refresh you on your way, since your travels have brought you across my path.”
They said, “Certainly. Go ahead.”
When we get weary of trudging the road
May there be angels to minister to our needs
When the dust clogs up our pores
May there be a refreshing cleanser
When we encounter strangers
May we meet our God
And know that in serving the other
We ourselves are blessed
And, when we find ourselves ministered to
May we be gracious in our acceptance
Of the gift of God healing through angels with human faces.
Amen
