Whose House Are You Staying At?

[S] Matthew 26:6 --
6 Now when Jesus was in Bethany, at the home of Simon the leper,

[O] Who I spend time with identifies a portion of my life's purpose.  Jesus stayed at the home of Simon the leper.  I am not clear from this passage whether this was a leper whom Jesus healed already or that he was still a leper but most importantly Jesus was staying at his house.  This challenges me to think about whose house I stay at, or spend time with.

[A] Taking a step forward to participate in the Angel Tree program to deliver some Christmas presents to a family with three children who's parent is incarcerated.  I want my family to model what Jesus did here.

[P] Dear Father, I pray that our step of faith here to reach out to this family will be under Your blessings and guidance.  Please send Your Holy Spirit to these three children's hearts so when we actually get to meet we'd all be wrapped around by the Spirit and be praising You together and as the gospel is presented to them they'd be open and accept Your grace. In Jesus' name.  Amen.
