#Advent Challenge Day 18

I used to have fairly regular 'open house' gatherings but somewhere along the line they dwindled away.  So this is a good challenge for me - and I here and very publicly commit to working my way through the Church Directory next year so that everyone gets at least one invitation to my house...

Dear Catriona

So many of the best moments in life are shared with other people. Meeting together around a good meal is a fantastic way to build deeper and more meaningful relationships.

Hospitality is a central part of relationships, as we invite people to really get to know us in our own homes. On many occasions the Bible encourages us to show hospitality to one another – and not just those that we particularly get along with.

How can you show hospitality?

A view from the Bible

"Above everything, love one another earnestly, because love covers over many sins. Open your homes to each other without complaining. Each one, as a good manager of God's different gifts, must use for the good of others the special gift he has received from God."

1 Peter 4: 8-10
