Hospitality
by Kendall Beck
There’s an old adage that says, “When you have more than you need, build a longer table, not a higher fence.”
Maybe hospitality is not just simmering pots and the ring of the doorbell but
“I heard you needed a place to live for a little while, I’m preparing our spare bedroom upstairs”
Not simply shimmering countertops and perfectly steamed sheets but also
“Let me welcome you into my mess”
Love is curiosity,
It’s “Tell me more about that,” and “How can I get to the heart of who you are?”
Love is humility,
A “Please, no, serve yourself first,” and “What can I do to love you better?”
Love is empathy,
“I may not have been there myself but I will be by your side as you walk through it” goes a long way
And love is hospitality,
What the world needs is question-askers, arm-extenders, and lingering dinners over longer tables—
I’ll grab the hammer, and you chop the wood.
