A Love Action

I've always offered, to me the invitation was always an open one. I figured they would come, they would know I meant what I said..........

With all things I guess, so many times it's just talk. Just words to make one feel better.

When I was young in mind I use to think that words said, would be all that was needed to make things right, to make life what it needed to be.

But as this mind of mine grows and it finds that the years have brought a little wisdom........I realize that words are just words if there is not an action to go with them.

Why is it that we need an invitation to be with the ones we love? I often wonder that.

 "Are you sure you want to have your every Sunday taken away?"  "My every Sunday?"..........It would not be taken away......but given back, given back to Him. TV turned off. Us sitting all together, laughing, eating, planning and scheming. Memories in the making, fresh and new.

Last Sunday........ Our very first "Open Door Sunday" was born. A Love Action was made, it followed the words that have always been said. Words that I've always meant, but no one knew until I made a love action.

"Open Door Sunday" means that you don't need an invitation. You come and go as you please and I will have food and you will be my company. It means that I won't be hurt if you don't come, But I'll be happy if you do. So if your in the neighborhood, wouldn't you surprise me if you made a love action and just showed up at my Open Door?

By the way the first Open Door was a Success! We laughed, We ate good food, And our hearts beat in unity with every love action.


Oh, we usually eat around 1:30 p.m.   But you can come any time!

My Door is Always Open

I love history, it was always my favorite subject in school. I believe you can learn a lot from the past.

This little girl from long ago grew up to be the Town Historian of Castile, New York. She also grew up to be my Great Grandmother. I have a lot of fond memories of her as I was growing up. She passed away at the ripe ol age of 96. Visits with her were always special, for she lived in the Historical house in Castile near Letchworth State Park. Oh the History that was in that old house.

On the living room wall hung a Grand Old Father Time clock. I can still hear the haunting chimes ring through my ears today. She would always greet us at the door and we would follow her slow shuffle into the dining room where she always had the table set for company.

One of the things that I guess you could say that she passed down to me was her willingness to have an open door. I often find myself saying My Door is Always Open. And I truly mean that. And just like her, I always try and have a little something for you to eat while your here.

I don't even know if she knew what she was passing on. Did she even think about how her actions would make a difference in my life? As simple as her hospitality may have been, it made a huge impact on me.

Keep on loving eachother as brothers and sisters. Remember to welcome strangers,because some who have done this have welcomed angels without knowing it. Hebrews 13:1-2
