During a January research trip to Germany, I was dismayed to learn that we would be staying at a monastery. I pictured an austere place with no heat, cold stone floors, and hard beds. Instead, I found a warm, welcoming, comfortable room. My colleague said, “The monks believe in treating their guests as they would treat Christ.” Though they don’t live in such comfort themselves, they are content.
Robert Herrick, a 17th-century English poet, wrote:
Christ, He requires still, wheresoe’er He comes,
To feed, or lodge, to have the best of rooms:
Give Him the choice; grant Him the nobler part
Of all the house: the best of all’s the heart.
It may seem easier to welcome Christ into our heart than to open our life to others. Whether it’s a room in our home or time in our schedule, too often we treat people as intruders rather than guests.
The apostle Peter wrote: “Above all things have fervent love for one another, for ‘love will cover a multitude of sins.’ Be hospitable to one another without grumbling” (1 Peter 4:8-9).
We honor Christ by giving Him the best room, our hearts, and by offering willing hospitality to others.
Read: 1 Peter 4:7-14

Good morning, Everyone. Good morning to our
AWESOME
Military, our Allies, and their families.
Thank you, Ma, for preparing the Canteen for today’s activities.
DC Metroland weather report ~ Today.... Some clouds this morning will give way to generally sunny skies for the afternoon. High 92F. Winds WNW at 5 to 10 mph. ~ Tonight.... Some clouds this evening will give way to mainly clear skies overnight. Low 67F. Winds N at 5 to 10 mph.
Whew! We had a heck of a storm roll through yesterday eve. Pouring rain. Happily, it waited until after I was back on dry land and almost home before it unloaded.
A friend and I went on a local cruise from Reedville, Virginia across the Chesapeake Bay to Tangier Island, VA. It was just a day outing and we were hoping the predicted thunderstorms held off until we were back home. She was, I wasn't.
If you are ever in the area, check out the Northern Neck cruises. There are a number of them.
Can't stay long. Got a few chores to do before I head to the pool for a few hours. Got to go back to work on Monday. Not looking forward to it.
Time for me to make my rounds. Internet seems slow this morning, so if I happen to disappear it may be because I threw my computer out the door. LOL
Anway, if I miss any of you today, I should catch up with you on Monday.
Now remember, the Canteen is
So, come on in and sit for a while. There's always plenty of coffee, pancakes, conversation, silliness, and plain old BS
REMEMBER THEM
