Crossing Cultures Devotional Memoir

Forgetful

Are you forgetful? I am. 

Reading through old journals and letters never fails to delight. Surprise. And confound. Highlighting my forgetfulness about experiences and facts from our personal history.

“Don’t forget” and “remember” are two exhortations. Repeated in Scripture. For good reason.

“Only be on your guard and diligently watch yourselves so that you don’t forget the things your eyes have seen and so that they don’t slip from your mind as long as you live.
Teach them to your children and your grandchildren.”
Deuteronomy 4:9 CSB

Learning hospitality

Learning hospitality. As we move across the world and enter new cultures.

Not just when I’m opening my home to others. But when they open theirs to me.

I see this in the Master’s instructions to His disciples. As they’re sent out two by two. Traveling to towns and villages. Sharing the good news of the Kingdom of God.

“When you enter any town, and they welcome you, eat the things set before you.” (Luke 10:8)
