In today's GB News Daily Reflections, we look at how hospitality is the art of making people feel at home when you wish they were at home."It can feel inconvenient at times, but it enriches us and others. It builds community and brings colour and joy to our neighbourhoods."We're given a snapshot of how Christians lived in early church communities. In act two, verse 46, they broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts. "The hospitality of our hearts and homes expands our own horizons and deepens connectivity. And I wonder to what small role it could play in responding to our mental health epidemic too."
