\"kindness\"I came across this poem that I think speaks to the kind heart of a cook, especially one who spreads joy and blesses others with her hospitality.   <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Kind Heart<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

Kindness brings such great comfort to our lives.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Even the littlest acts of kindness<\/strong><\/p>\n

have a way of spiraling into so much more.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kindness is at the heart of cooking<\/strong><\/p>\n

and at the heart of making life great.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In little acts of kindness is the magic to transform<\/strong><\/p>\n

our lives into something wonderful.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hospitality and bringing  joy<\/strong><\/em> to others through your gifts of food and making them feel special is an act of service.<\/strong>  When you think of hospitality as serving others it will bring  joy<\/strong> <\/em>to you and your guests.  If you show hospitality for what is in it for you there will never be joy.<\/strong><\/em>  Use hospitality for God’s Glory <\/strong>and to make others feel welcome and special when they come to your home.  Having a friend over for coffee and listening to her, bringing your family together over a simple dinner\/supper, a fancy dinner party, or a fun picnic are all showing  hospitality and kindness.  Hospitality is about making someone feel special by doing something a little extra to say to them, I am glad you are here and you bring  joy<\/strong><\/em> to my life.  Who can you serve this week with a joyful <\/strong><\/em>heart, making them feel special with your service of hospitality, kindness and great food?<\/a><\/p>\n
