They said, of course come stay with us. We went to dinner and stayed up and talked. I slept in a nice bed and we visited in the morning. The thing that I valued the most about the visit however, was the welcome.
Welcome is such a powerful thing. We hear about people visiting churches and not feeling welcomed. How sad.
We are all looking for connection in this life.
What do you, what do I do to welcome others into our lives? Welcome begins with noticing people that might otherwise go unnoticed. Seeing them, valuing them and then showing kindness.
May we all multiply the gift of welcome this day and every day.
It's a beautiful day in God's world be sure to see the good.
