"About the eleventh hour he went out
and found still others standing around.
He asked them,
`Why have you been standing here all day long doing nothing?'
`Because no one has hired us,' they answered.
He said to them,
`You also go and work in my vineyard.'"
Yes, Jesus, you call us to work in your vineyard.
You call us even at the 11th hour of our life.
Bring all people close to you.
Show them your grace.
We pray today for many to come home to you today.
We need you.
There is a way that is right and holy and pleasing to you.
Help us to hunger for you.
We need you.
We are dead and lost without you.
Come to us this day to strengthen us.
We only see a small piece of the big puzzle.
Help us to trust in you.
Help us to share what we know about you today
with all the new/old people we meet.
Help us to trust in you that all will work out for the best.
Help us to live this 11th hour to the fullest.
Help us to be prepared for when you call each of us home.
We praise you this day.
We thank you for that beautiful sunset last night.
(I watched it from about 104 and Blondo.)
Thanks!
Amen.
