Having grown up with a mother who was known for her hospitality our daughter yearns for the dinner parties of her childhood. She bemoans the fact that no one entertains at home anymore. She and her husband tried hosting small dinner parties in their home a few times, but when several guests canceled at the last minute, and no one returned their invitation they were forced to conclude that dinner parties are a thing of the past. “No one has time to be friends anymore,” Leah says wistfully. “I know my generation is into social networking—Facebook and twitter and all that—but sending emails and instant messages isn’t the same as eating together!”
“So encourage each other and build each other up, just as you are already doing.”
— 1 Thessalonians 5:11 (NLT)
Lord help us keep reaching out even if no one responds. Amen.
