Most of our friends were older and already had homes and places that I felt were acceptable for company. I never had people over. Now, with 6 kids, I have realized that hospitality is not about having the biggest house, the cleanest house, or the perfect family. This past weekend a young married couple with 1 small child had us over for lunch after church. They live in a small family housing dorm on a college campus. There are regular families with huge houses and a couple kids that are unwilling to take on our family of 8. I was so blessed and hope that my own daughters will learn the lesson that this young wife and mom has learned: hospitality is not about being fancy or putting on a show, but rather, a desire to open our homes and serve others. I enjoyed my time in their small home, it was a great meal, and best of all good fellowship. When I was a young married woman we lived in a small 2 bedroom apt.

Your comments are so sweet also. You seem to be very outgoing now. I think you would plan great parties! God has used hospitality to reach out to so many! Thanks sweetie.
