Hospitality….

E is currently visiting the Russian-speaking church, I just saw an invitation for a coffee conversation with one of their visitors. M packs up the van to go to the homeless and deliver some stuff. Yesterday’s dishes (film night) are still in the sink, the therapy room takes some rest today after 24 guests, the amount of stroopwafels has decreased again this week, a new guest will arrive at the train station tonight, and more and more…

And M… watches the church service at the BGA online. The sermon is about hospitality. And despite everything that has happened this week on this side (and the week is not over yet) I keep asking myself… couldn’t we have done more? One extra step? But… there are only 24 hours in a day, only so many people fit in the living room, but still…. there is still so much to do… and so little time…

Will you help to be hospitable this week, wherever you are? Give other people a bit of warmth, a bit of hospitality, the Good News… are you participating, do you open your house and hart?
