In Webster’s 1828 Dictionary of the English Language, we find the definition of HOSPITALITY ~ The act or practice of receiving and entertaining members, guests,or strangers without reward and with kind and generous liberality. This opportunity is not just for ladies - but men, young men and young ladies (ages 14 years and up) who want to pour their gifts and talents out in this area or to learn.

Joseph's story is helping me to see that God is at work in the hardest places of my life, even if I can’t presently see the outcome. Joseph's story is reminding me that what looks and feels like a pit to me is a kiln in God's purposes, where He is shaping me more and more into His image. He is growing me in those places. Joseph's story of looking past Egypt reminds me that this world is not my home.

Iain Duguid writes, “If there is one lesson that is central to the Joseph story, is it that God uses things that he hates to accomplish goals that he loves.” That's what we see in Genesis 39:1-23.
