Hospitality

Today, mulling my role in helping create a sense of healthy community for people. The role hospitality needs to play in that, and ways I want to grow into more "realness"...people seeing me at various levels of "undone" to allow them into my "real life", not just my "together" moments. Into my home, seeing my kids cranky, my irritations too high, my real "me". Am I willing to be that vulnerable to let others know they are that valuable?

Have been discussing community...how to pull others into circles of care and the best ways...or various ways to acheive that. Has me thinking. What does God want from me? Of all the Biblical admonitions...why the one to 'be hospitable?', and what does that mean?
