Kristina and I have said many times that we want people (you) to feel welcome in our home. More so, we want people (you) to simply feel welcome. Welcome to just stop by (even without calling). Welcome to open our fridge without asking. Welcome to... you get the picture. But, how will we know whether we are in fact making people feel welcome if you guys don't tell us.
Well...
Our new friend Tammy just stopped by unannounced to sit and chat for while until it was time to pick up her daughter from school.
This may not seem like a big deal to you, but we are strangers here and for someone to trust us enough or feel safe enough to just stop by is pretty encouraging. We've only been here a short time and Tammy's visit today lets us know we are on the right track here.
Lord, we thank you for uninvited guests. May we never be too busy, too distracted, or too selfish to cherish every moment you give us to share with others. May we always be available to listen, serve, or whatever else you may need us to do.
To everyone:
In case you don't already know this, consider yourself informed - you are always welcome in our home, at our table, on our couch, in my office, to use our bathroom.
Wait, do I really mean everyone?
Perhaps in my next post I should give a comprehensive list of everyone who is and who is not welcome at our table.
