May the Lord make you increase and abound in love to one another and to all, just as we do to you. ~1 Thessalonians 3:12 NKJV Hospitality is the gift of welcome, of caring for one another and caring for strangers. It is an open door, an open hand, an open heart. When we practice the art of hospitality, we reflect the heart of God, who welcomes all into His kingdom when they knock on His door and seek entrance. The Greek word translated as hospitality in the New Testament literally means "love of strangers". You cannot welcome your partner into your home due to distance, but you can reach out to them and welcome them into your heart as a new friend. Send your partner a nice letter. Be sure to include at least one scripture in your letter. Along with your letter send your partner a 'celebration party' to encourage her and show her love. Some examples are a tea celebration that includes tea, a mug, cookies, or it could be a little party in a box that includes things like pretty patterned paper plates, cups & napkins, or a picnic in a box or a non-birthday party that includes decorations & a small gift... All items are senders choice. Please try to make something that would make your partner smile. This package must cost a minimum $5. Jesus said, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." ~Matthew 22:39 NKJV |
