Welcoming Strangers - 3 - Poem by Raymond A. Foss

Tugging at our hearts
lessons of Jesus
to take up our cross
and to trust in the Lord

Welcoming strangers
as we are called
holy appointments
to love one and all

We don’t know
but we may be welcoming saints
changing our lives
in the gifts that He grants
