Every Saturday we invite people to come and share a meal with us at our home. It is an event that I look forward to every week. There is something special about inviting a neighbor over to eat a meal. This last week my team and I were invited to Charles's home. A man in our neighborhood who we have become good friends with. The hospitality they showed us was such a blessing.
As we arrived we were greeted by many of the grandchildren who live in the house. They beckoned us to play the Wii and before I knew it I was dancing along with Michael Jackson (yes, I do have some sweet dance moves). Once our entertainment ended we were invited to the table where a great feast awaited us. Oh my, we had all different types of wings, enchiladas, salad, the most amazing sweet tea, and potato salad. (I didn't like potato salad until I came to the South -- the same with Sweet Potatoes). We ate in style and had a wonderful time of fellowship.
Once dinner was over Charles pulled out his photo albums. I got to see pictures of him in the 80's with his family reunion t-shirt and knee-high socks with the classic blue and red strips. I loved looking through his photos and hearing stories about his past and family. I am so thankful for their generous hospitality. Charles is very dear to my heart.
