Christian Hospitality

We had an open house picnic on Saturday for our church family.

We wanted to share our new home with our friends 

and to thank God publicly for his provision in our lives.

The day was "iffy" but eventually the sun broke through the clouds.

One of my friends asked me on Sunday if I could relax now.

I realized what a peaceful event the picnic had been.

That is as it should be.

There was no one I felt was going to critique me.

There were so many hands to help if I needed a hand.

Many of my guests assumed host/hostess roles if they saw a need.

It was just FAMILY.

The menu was simple.

Baked Chicken Nuggets

Slow Cooker Baked Beans

Sweet Corn from NY

Baby Carrots with Dip

Grapes

Chips
