We live in a strange time and place where we are all strangers even in our own neighborhood. This place is called suburbia. Where we most treasure our privacy. Where ‘neighbor’ simply means we live in close proximity to one another but we may never go next door to borrow a cup of sugar.
Last weekend, we decided to break down some of those walls and throw a block party to get to know more of our neighbors. We dragged Ben’s grill down to the end of the cul-de-sac
and had our talented accoustic duo play some music while we grilled out, ate, and got to know one another…
and their dogs.
“Hospitality is the overflowing of a heart that has to share what it has received. It takes a whole person to open up, it takes a secure person to be available, it takes a strong person to give yourself away.” – Radical Hospitality. Jacob and I have been taking a hospitality class on Sundays and learning how to not only open up our homes, but also open up our hearts.
Will probably share more of what we’re learning from the class for next week’s Thursday Thoughts. We’re heading off to Cali tonight! So excited to see my LA peeps. :) And ever since last week, I can’t stop craving Porto’s…….
