心存謙卑，樂於給予 │Open Hearts, Open Homes (Traditional Chinese Discovery Series Booklet)

樂意接待，與人交流

眞誠接待不在於華麗的晚套，也不在於給人留下美好的印象……而在於你顧意心存謙卑，樂於接納不同的人。這正是基督爲我們所做的事，而我們有幸可以效法祂的榜樣。當然，一開始你可能會覺得不自在，然而當你向他人打開家門和心門的時候，你也打開了那道通往意外祝福的大門。現在就開始學習基督徒的真試接待，在你生活中掛上「歡迎」的標示牌，看看上帝會藉著你所成就的事。

An Invitation to Fellowship!

Hospitality is not about fancy dinners and great impressions...it's about humbling your heart and being open to meeting people where they are.  It's exactly what Jesus did for us, and we have the privilege of following His example.  Yes, it might be uncomfortable at first; but when you open the door to your home and heart to others, you open the door to unexpected blessings.  Hang the "welcome sign" of Christian hospitality on the door of your life and see what God can do through you.

Amy Peterson is a writer, teacher, and member of the clergy in the Episcopal Church.  She is the author of Where Goodness Still Grows: Reclaiming Virtue in an Age of Hypocrisy and Dangerous Territory:  My Misguided Quest to Save the World.   Her work has appeared in Image, The Washington Post, Christianity Today, Christian Century, The Millions, River Teeth, St. Katherine Review, Relief, and elsewhere.
