The Hospitality Challenge

This month’s challenge is The Hospitality Challenge. When I was asking women for ideas for these challenges, several of them mentioned ways of being hospitable. I loved this idea and all that might come from a simple act of hospitality. Here are some suggestions ::

• Take someone out for coffee
• Throw a dinner party with a few close friends
• Bake something you’ve never baked before and give it to a neighbor
• Invite far off friends or family to come spend the weekend with you

As a side note, whenever the Bible mentions hospitality, it specifically meant showing hospitality to a stranger. Here are a few ideas in that regard ::

• If there’s someone new at your church, invite them over for lunch
• Buy a delicious meal and give it to a homeless person
• Gather a few friends and serve a meal at a homeless shelter
• Inquire at a nearby university to see if you can become a host family for a foreign exchange student

You get the idea! Can’t wait to hear what you all do! You have until March 1 to complete the challenge. Don’t forget to comment here or post pictures with the hashtag #agmonthlychallenge .
