More than worthy



I was reading Matthew 10:13 this morning, "And if the house is worthy, let your greeting of peace come upon it." I thought of the Turnbulls. Twice, in matter weeks, John and Debbie took in strangers. First, when Dad Sharpe died, and then for his memorial. Our family was welcomed with no expectations, just arms of compassion. They don't see their hospitality as a big thing, but we do. Coming home in the evening to a safe haven was huge. It was okay to be real. Waking up in the morning to the best cuppa tea in town and warm conversation, started our day wrapped in a blanket of love. The Spirit of God glistened in their tears and shone through their smiles. Their home is more than worthy. We have new friends who feel like family. Thank you John and Debbie, we love you.
