The Kindness of a Warm Welcome

"There is no hospitality like understanding."
~ Vanna Bonta

A mom I know attends a Bible study class on Sunday mornings.  It seems that no matter how hard she tries, she is nearly always late.  Admittedly, there are a couple of children in the get-ready mix.  The others in the Bible study group are older women, children grown.  Although this mom dashes in a few minutes late, these women are always welcoming.  "So glad you're here," the group leader says, "We're just getting started."  After she catches her breath, this mom loses herself in the conversation and prayer, grateful for these women and their understanding.
