How an Invitation is an Act of Hospitality

Stories are verbal acts of hospitality quote by Eugene Peterson designed by Kaitlyn Bouchillon

“Want to come to Israel?” she asked.

Her life had been deeply impacted by her sandaled feet walking on the sacred ground that was once beneath her Savior’s feet.

She had been changed, so she invited others to come and see for themselves. The stories from her trip surfaced in bits and bursts, yet it was evident there was a weight to them…not a heaviness but an awe, a weight of story and glory…that could be partially felt but best experienced for oneself.

Martha of Bethany: When You Feel Like It’s All Up to You

Martha of Bethany was a friend of Jesus and sister of Mary and Lazarus

Often we forget that Martha of Bethany was a woman just like us. She wanted to care for others well, yet she had her limits too. She probably felt like the weight of the world was on her shoulders, yet she had a friend who was made to carry that weight—not just for her, but for all us.
