The task I knew I would fail from the start is finally here. I really hoped an opportunity would arrive and I wouldn't fail, but fail I did.
It's not that I'm not hospitable- I hope anyone that's been on the receiving end of my hospitality would go away feeling well fed, watered and content.
One problem is that the house of two people who work full time, have two young children and are both training for ministry is (in our case) a place of chaos- not where I'd want to invite someone. So I thought I might see someone I could invite for a coffee elsewhere, but it wasn't to be.
I will make an effort to try and fulfil this task at some point- I feel like it's still hanging over my head from last year.

Be more welcoming

Hospitality
Task fail today! We were called to be more welcoming and invite someone we don't know very well round for a cuppa.
This is a hard one- trying to think of someone I know, but not well, that I can invite round without them thinking I'm a total loon is a tricky thing. I was hoping I'd see someone appropriate in the playground this morning, but didn't, and then the rest of the day passed in a blur as work was a bit crazy.
As with the phone call task I intend to fulfil this one eventually!
Hebrews 13:2
Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by doing that some have entertained angels without knowing it.
