Hospitality

Recently while sitting with a group of 16,

someone special commented that it was MUCH nicer

to dine at a restaurant

than to have the host

cook and serve all of us.

I am small and petty,

so I noted to the special person

that I am known to entertain 11

for 3 meals a day, 4 days in a row.

The special person intended to compliment me by saying

"That's because YOU are more organized!"

I heard it like this:

YOU can do the work, so you SHOULD do the work.

Others are exempt because it is harder for them.

However, I am trying to be more positive.

I told this story to a dear friend.

Today she sent me this:

Do not neglect hospitality, for through it

some have unknowingly entertained angels.

Hebrews 13:2

Once again I am ready to be gracious.

Thanks, friend.
