Hospitality is sheltering human finiteness with love and compassion and understanding. This means we must take into account the physical needs of the people around us. This work is how we build strong cultures within our families and strong communities and connections with those outside our four walls.

Hospitality is a worthy engagement of our time and skill. It is a worthy endeavor of the homemaker. What are we, ladies, if we’re not being hospitable? Isn’t tending to the physical and emotional needs of others the whole point of all we do? Then it should be within our reach to include others in that worthy work.
