hosting

I've always known my parents have the gift of hospitality and how it blessed so many people. Since moving to NY I've seen to an even greater degree how valuable that gift is. I hope I can somewhat fulfill their shoes. Last night I was invited I was invited over for dinner from a group of girls from church. I couldn't go but their offer was greatly appreciated and meant a lot to me. Tonight a group of friends from church came over for dinner...last minute. It was a joy making them dinner and giving them a place to hang out for the evening. In NYC you don't get many home cooked meals and homes to relax in. Usually if I meet up with friends, we meet at a restaurant or a coffee shop. in other words, we are spending money. it is such a blessing to open your home and have people be able to relax at your place and eat home cooked food--a little taste of home that we all miss.
