The Kindness of a Dinner Invitation

"Treat others as you wish to be treated.  Don’t just be nice, but be kind to other people.  That can be so rewarding.”
~ Mary Lambert

On a recent evening, I was on my way to meet up with the two other families with whom we regularly have pizza.  One of the moms called to ask if I would mind if she invited the new priest in our parish to dinner.  Of course not, I said.  Apparently, my friend had seen him walking by himself by the church and thought it would be nice to have him join us for pizza.  As she spoke to me on the phone, she drove around looking for him as she had momentarily lost him while calling me.  She did catch up with him and asked him if he’d already eaten dinner, which he had.  Hopefully, he will join us another time.
