Hospitable Souls

"Here's to becoming more hospitable souls." 

I read that quote the other day on this blog and it’s stayed with me over the past few days as I've unpacked the boxes in our new house.

Hospitable soul? 

What does that even mean? To be hospitable all the way down to your soul, to the core of who you are. 

I know the Bible places particular emphasis on this quality: hospitality, because again and again, we are called to welcome the stranger into our midst, to prepare a place at the table for any and all who might come. 

Sounds simple enough, until I remember that in reality, this is actually really hard to do.
