Hospitality

Have you ever had an 'a-ha' moment when something that has been right in front of you for a long time becomes obvious?

I had one of those moments yesterday during our church service. During the sermon, Josh Graves was talking about hospitality. In the midst of his words, I realized something.

My dad is one of the most hospitable people I know.

When we go to his house, he makes you feel like he really wants you to be there. He makes sure he has drinks on hand that we like. He makes food that he knows we like. He serves us while we're there. When he brings you something to eat, he waits for your reaction to see how much you enjoy it.

He has always been like that.

Thanks, Dad, for helping me learn what it means to be a servant and a host.

shine!
