The person in front of us should not have to carry the weight of the conversation we had five minutes ago. Everyone deserves a fresh welcome. Sometimes the kindest thing we can give another person is our full attention, free from distractions, assumptions, or leftover frustrations. A warm welcome can change the atmosphere as surely as music changes a room.

🙏 Prayer to Welcome Others
Lord, help us be fully present to the people we meet today. Teach us to welcome others with openness, patience, and genuine care so they may feel valued and understood. Amen.
A prayer a day, keeps the soul from drifting away
