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 .
