Hospitality is not my gift either. This whole post couldnt have described me any better. ((except I’m taking 3 summer classes.)) lol

I am so thankful for the bits of summer that have no particular agenda. The next two weeks are like that – no workshops, no travel plans, no particular appointments… My favorite days during the school year are often the Saturdays that have no plans so that I can putter about the house or yard, go shopping for nothing in particular, curl up with a good book or watch a good movie. I often ask myself when I read these “saving my life” posts just what it is that is saving my life and I’m never quite sure. But I do think that looking forward to two weeks of no agendas is saving my life right now.

I love this idea of hospitality as opening, and yes, it is saving my life, too. Also saving my life: brunches with friends, fresh berries, good books, and the prospect of a calm weekend.

Music is saving my life. Especially when I hear Miles singing. I was watching a lady sign (ASL) a song yesterday, but her motions were so rigid I thought, “I should teach her how to sing in ASL.” Then I thought about how closely talking and singing are, but how singing propels us into another state. Miles and I have great conversations, but when he sings I am driven to a point where my world becomes external to his. It’s not that he is a great singer, although he sings well, but there is something about hearing his singing that I love. I think that is the reason why the Bible commands us to sing so much. We need it, but God loves to hear it too because He loves us so much.
