It's Hospitality Thursday!!!!!!

Hello once again everyone!! Can you believe it's already Thursday!? Last week we talked about the third hospitality sense, "Hearing". This week we will be discussing TASTE.........I'd have to say this is one of my favorites because I love food presentation,and cooking, but as ladies sometimes we tend to try too hard until this simple job becomes an immense chore.
  Alda Ellis in her book "The Gentle Art of Hospitality" says this,"Giving your guests something to eat or drink is an immdiate offering of hospitality. It doesn't have to be elaborate fare. No person is too small for God's love , and no offering is too insignificant for God's honor. A glass of ice water with a slice of lemon on the rim, a cup of tea, or a soda offered is a thoughtful thing to do. Make this gesture of kindness to the letter carrier on a hot day, to your son just home from school,or to your husband coming in the door from work. No one can solve the problems of the world, but we can start with thoughtfulness and kindness."
Use this little system to remind yourself to simplify.....KISS-Keep-It-Simple-Stupid!!!So much of the time I find myself entertaining without the hospitality because I try too hard!!! Keep it simple!!:)
