The gift of hospitality

One woman I know has touched my heart who demonstrates the gift of hospitality. Her house is not in immaculate condition as some of us try to be when we have guests. She is a very busy woman who is constantly doing the Lords work. A single mom who runs a daycare business and on her own. Except for a few volunteers, she does an after school Christian clubs program which she has done for ten years.
Her house has a steady flow of children whom come for her homemade cupcakes and her love. She has them read a bible verse which she has posted on the wall and then gives them the delicious chocolate cupcake. Her house is decorated all over with her hand written bible verses.
Teenagers also come when they have nothing else to do and she provides them suggestions or takes them to the park with her. She gives them Mr. noodles or baking as she is on a limited income and uses her finances wisely.
She hosts a weekly bible study in which woman read encouraging books and God's word. It is a time of fellowship and prayer. Often when the woman depart they are provided with a gift of produce or homemade baking.
She always has a warm smile and a motherly touch to those who enter her home. The joy of the Lord radiates from her doing these acts of service and is an inspiration to others.
