Day 3 synopsis:

Blessed is the woman who welcomes.

She will be kindness, the sign of the love of the Lord.

Remember the last time you truly felt welcomed?  Like people were stumbling over themselves to shake your hands or hug you or introduce themselves and get to know you.  Maybe it was at a meeting you attended, a local business / establishment, a new church you visited, a business event, a new Doctor’s office…

Was the person who welcomed you a friend or a total stranger?  I ask this question for an obvious reason.  We don’t have to be friends or already know each to be outwardly warm and welcoming.

We are encouraged to be warm and welcoming and kind and a sign of love with everyone… everyone.  That’s hard sometimes.  I know.  I’m a guarded person.  And even a suspicious person sometimes.  And unsure of myself.  And nervous about meeting new people sometimes.

I am going to read a few verses from Colossians.  These are words from Apostle Paul to the members of a local church in the town of Colossae.  He was encouraging them here…

Colossians 3:12-14 “… Dress in the wardrobe God picked out for you: compassion, kindness, humility, quiet strength, discipline. Be even-tempered, content with second place, quick to forgive an offense. Forgive as quickly and completely as the Master forgave you. And regardless of what else you put on, wear love. It’s your basic, all-purpose garment. Never be without it.”

Blessed is the woman who welcomes.

She will be kindness, the sign of the love of the Lord.
