Grace-Filled Hospitality
 
36One of the Pharisees asked Jesus to eat with him, and he went into the Pharisee’s house and took his place at the table. 37And a woman in the city, who was a sinner, having learned that he was eating in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster jar of ointment. 38She stood behind him at his feet, weeping, and began to bathe his feet with her tears and to dry them with her hair.

When hospitality becomes an art
it loses its very soul.
                                                            ~ Max Beerbohm
 
 
 
Let not the emphasis of hospitality lie in bed and board;
but let truth and love and honor and courtesy
flow in all thy deeds.
                                                            ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

Those who understand only
what can be explained
understand very little.
