The Welcome Table

Hospitality is the art of welcoming people in—of recognizing their needs and going beyond to help them feel honored and cherished. Whether we are welcoming family members to dinner, a friend for the weekend or refugees into a shelter, when we set the table or make up a bed we perform the tender, holy tasks of generosity and welcome.

How do you enjoy offering hospitality?

New

How do you know what you hunger for if you have never tried it? Even for those of us who have been on this planet for several decades, there is so much we’ve never tried, never tasted. There are plenty of new things to be explored, but rarely someone willing to spoon-feed us the experience.

What new thing have you tried lately?

Wanting

“But I don’t want comfort. I want God, I want poetry, I want real danger, I want freedom, I want goodness. I want sin.”
― Aldous Huxley

What do you want? What comfort would you be willing to give up to get it?
