Thank you God for the times when you let us meet and journey with new people. Help us to celebrate the gift of learning about their lives, their ministries and their passions. May we find comfort in those times when we are in that time where we have new experiences of others worship, culture and all the other opportunities that are offered when we move from stranger to friend to chosen family. Let us see the new people and experiences we have as an opportunity to expand ourselves and wonder in the joy of all of your creation. Give us your blessing as we seek to treat the whole world as beloved. Amen
