THE PROSPEROUS SOUL

Jesus went to supper with folks whose lives he touched. It doesn’t need
to be a four-course meal. If you prefer, you can keep things simple and
invite a few friends around for dessert and coffee, or you can host a
potluck party with a special theme or purpose. There's no need to
ponder what to say since, if you're really interested in the lives and well-
being of those around you, most people are happy to tell you about
themselves and what is happening in their lives. Open your doors and
your heart to friendship.

 Every day they continued to meet together in the temple
courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with
glad and sincere hearts, (Acts 2:42 & 46)
 Gaius, whose hospitality I and the whole church here enjoy,
sends you his greetings (Romans 16:23)

A FRIEND’S PRAYER

I hope the above Scriptures have given you some ideas on how to make
meaningful and lasting friendships. So, I will end with the prayer that
we started with, but now I want pray this for you, just as John prayed
this prayer for his friend Gaius:

““I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in

health, just as your soul prospers.”
(3 John 3:2)
