JOIN THE "INN" CROWD IN FEBRUARY<br />
During the 4 weeks left in our winter Room in the Inn<br />
season, we have plenty of opportunities in which to<br />
practice offering hospitality, intentional listening & being<br />
present.<br />
It can be as simple as: Preparing a side dish or picking<br />
up ice cream to complete a dinner; setting tables; making<br />
beds; sitting down to a community meal; picking up or<br />
dropping off a few of our guests; spending a night on<br />
a comfy twin bed (thanks to our new bed platforms);<br />
preparing a part of breakfast before heading off into your<br />
day energized; folding a load of clean laundry as a quiet<br />
evening meditation! — all ordinary, everyday tasks, when<br />
done with love, allow us to experience the blessings of<br />
being in community.<br />
