About this listen
This Thanksgiving week, we slow down and give thanks for one of God’s greatest gifts: shared tables.Whether it's a kitchen bar, a backyard bbq, leftovers after church, or a simple cafesito—God meets us in the places where we make room for others.In today’s devotion we look at three powerful Scriptures:• 1 Peter 4:9 — “Offer hospitality without grumbling.”• John 15:12–13 — “Love one another as I have loved you.”• Acts 2:44–47 — The early church breaking bread with glad and sincere hearts.Inspired by Henri Nouwen’s reflection on hospitality, we explore how creating space for someone—physically or emotionally—can be the very place where healing and change begin. Not because we fix people, but because we offer them freedom, presence, and love.As you give thanks this week, take a moment to remember the tables you’ve been invited to— the laughter, the chaos, the sacred conversations, and the moments where your heart expanded.This week, who can you invite to your table? Even if all you have is an egg sandwich, leftover cake, tea, or a PB&J—your heart is the real offering.If this encouraged you, like the video, share it with someone, and subscribe for more weekly devotionals.Happy Thanksgiving, familia.
