Judges 19:9 (NLT) – “Later, as the man and his concubine and servant were preparing to leave, his father-in-law said, “Look, it’s almost evening. Stay the night and enjoy yourself. Tomorrow you can get up early and be on your way.”
Happy Kwanzaa - today is celebrated as the day of Umoja (Unity) in which we strive for and maintain unity in the family, community, nation, and race. Yesterday I ventured across the country to land at the doorstep of some good friends who opened their hospitality for me to stay the night. Early this morning I am leaving for a drive into the desert to spend a few days unwinding. As the scripture depicts, the act of hospitality is a blessing. Whenever and wherever life takes you to the threshold of those who open their hearts and their doors to you, it is imperative that you accept and share in their love. It is important for building and maintaining close relationships and it is needed to support the principles of ‘unity’. Let’s not be so consumed with getting to a destination that we miss the life-enhancing opportunities to tarry with friends.
Every day is a good day; it is up to us to a make it a victoriously GREAT day! Be blessed! Rev. Dr. JoAnn
