"The heart of hospitality is about creating space for someone to be feel seen, and heard and loved. It's about declaring your table as a safe zone, a place of warm and nourishment."
Shauna Niequist
Our friends Keith and Libby created that safe place for us. We enjoyed a sweet visit in November. Woody is their lovable dog.
"There is always something to do. Hungry people to be feed, naked people to clothe, sick people to comfort and make well."
Nikki Giovanni
"This Advent we look to the Wise Men to teach us where to focus our attention. We set our sights on things above, where God is. We draw closer to Jesus ... When our advent journey ends and we reach the place where Jesus resides in Bethlehem, may we like the Wise Men, fall on our knees and adore him as our true and only King."
Mark Zimmermann, in Our Advent Journey
Hundreds of years before the Messiah was born, Isaiah the prophet under the direction of God wrote these words;
"For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given
and the government will be on his
shoulders.
And he will be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace
Of the greatness of his government and
peace
there will be no end.
Isaiah 9: 6 -7a
