We are fully known and fully loved by God. He is our Creator and knows us inside-out! For we (being mere mortals), get to know others by interactions - by listening to their stories - and sharing our lives with them. What have you learned after hearing the story of someone you are praying for? Don't share personal details here, but write your response in your journal this week. Then, tell us below how hearing their story affected you. Did it bring you greater understanding and empathy? Maybe a little overwhelmed with the information that was shared? How can we pray for you?
It's week #3 of Life on the Porch! So, how are you doing? Have you made any connections this week? Asking God to open opportunities for you to connect with others - being a vehicle of His love - is a great place to start 😊. This week I was able to connect with a guy who power washed our decks, the pizza delivery girl and our Instacart delivery person. Just offering a friendly, "how's your day going?" and a smile is enough! Now, I have 3 new connections to pray for! How about you? Where have you experienced opportunities to connect this week?
