Last night we had dinner with the Barkmans.
"What?!! (you ask) You had dinner with the Barkmans? How can that be? Aren't they in the Philippines?"
But alas, that was not to be. You see, with the power of technology, we were able to skype a meal with our dear friends. From half way around the world, we shared pitas and ice cream. We had a great chat during which Darnell broke a mug, Dan made falafels, Amanda baked bagels and Christina produced delicious snacks. It was great to share time with our friends, much like we would do if they still lived one street over. We enjoyed listening to Cody's stories and watching Makai stand and take a few steps. It was great to hear about their time with their parents, Peace Church and Coffee for Peace. We were blessed and encouraged as they affirmed our giving spirits. It was precious to us to be able to thank God for our food as we "broke our pitas together." We loved and enjoyed every minute we spent communing together, sharing pitas and ice cream over a computer.
Now that's hospitality!!!
You really do have a handle on hospitality!
ReplyDeleteTechnology can really bring some amazing blessings!
Awww, you blogged about our skype date! How special:) I'm so glad we could have a good, long, "hang-out" type of skype chat.... it was much needed. Still not as good as seeing you all face to face (and eating your food!) but we work with what we've got. Love you all!!!!
