I am finding that the more I am called to open my home to others, the more I enjoy it.
The arranging of flowers and furniture.
The creativity involved in pulling things together to create A Look.
The frantic decluttering.
Shopping for new items to upgrade worn and shabby ones.
The opportunity to deepen old relationships and create new ones.
The chance for our children to be with new people and to help others feel welcome on their turf.
Our guiding principle: better to be generous and to risk overdoing than to be slack and possibly give offence or - WORSE - fail our own expectations of what gracious hospitality should look like.
One group of visitors have just come and gone.
This Sunday, we begin again.
