Last week, as we explored reaching out to others, we owned up to our hostility, while considering how reasonable it is to be guarded or defended. It’s a natural human response in a world that is often pretty hostile, especially these days.And, as understandable as hostility is, Jesus leads us beyond - to where that sense of otherness becomes oneness. We are called to hospitality. So we move toward our hostility with trust, compassion, and curiosity; we live aware of our common human search for connection and belonging; and we work to offer space. This week we’ll explore what that space could look like. Is Martha Stewart our guru here, or might there be an even deeper kind of hospitality? We’ll look at scripture, hear some stories, and I’ll share some things that have made a big difference in my journey, including a cat video and a life-changing lesson learned from the most powerful Gospel Contemplation I’ve experienced to date. I hope you’ll be encouraged as we seek to create space for others in our hearts, our homes, our lives.
