Greet with a Holy Kiss

[S] Romans 16:16 --
16  Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the churches of Christ greet you.

[O] This is the conclusion Paul shares after listing a whole bunch of people's names who co-labored for God's ministry with him.  Not only he had so many of them to work together but his sentiments are reflected in this statement displaying such an intimacy with them.  Not sure what holy kiss is but such an expression would be used for someone very close.

[A] I seem to be so busy doing God's ministry but I wonder whether I will also be going down the list of all of my close friends in ministry and how I wouldn't think twice about greeting one another with a holy kiss.

[P] Dear Father, may I stop to smell the roses as I'm taking part in Your ministry so that I am not just so busy running.  May I build the right relationships in my life with those sharing the vision You gave us so in the end we can all be so grateful for each other and to give thanks to You for bringing us together to work for Your glory.  In Jesus' name.  Amen.
