Traditionally, our extended families have big meal celebrations for Thanksgiving and Christmas. And as I look over the years the times when we have had friends over, who otherwise would not have had a celebration, were when we were closest to being the kingdom, or rule, of God.
Others, I personally know, have gone further than this. One churched couple I remember would take church guests out to lunch after church. Another couple had two homeless brothers spending part of the winter in their own home. A senior adult lady would go to the grocery store and receive goods that were fixing to be thrown away in order to cook them for both a homeless ministry and to give canned food away to those who required such grace or mercy.
So this week I will keep searching for opportunities to give myself away to those who cannot repay.
And, as always, you are invited by the Lord to do so as well.
