In John 21:9–13, the disciples come ashore after a long night of fishing. Jesus has a charcoal fire going, with fish on it and bread. He invites them to breakfast. There’s something tender about that detail. The risen Jesus makes time to feed people who have been up all night.
Maybe someone in your life could use that kind of care today. You might pour a second cup of coffee, save someone a seat at lunch, or bring a plate to the person who usually serves everyone else. While you do it, ask Jesus to help you notice what would make that person feel at home.
Jesus, thank You for caring for hungry, tired people. Help us make room at our tables today. Amen.
What small thing has someone done at a table that made you feel welcome?
