Hospitality

  Is Hospitality your gift? From an early age we grew up with a lot of people around our table at meal times.  I am one of six children and Mum was a great cook.  Dad quite often would phone Mum to say that he was bringing extras home for a meal and was there enough.  Mum would make it stretch to feed all.  Birthdays were extra special because Mum cooked meringues, lamington's custard sponge & cream chocolate crackles.  At Christmas the table was set with all sorts of goodies and people dropped in to have a drink and to share in this hospitality. 

In Roman's 12:13 it says:-

¹³ Share with the Lord’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality.

Today I cooked scones out of the CWA cook book (recipe below) and then invited Lisa Joanne & Eileen over for a cuppa and to share.  Lisa has four boys and Jo has three boys so the boys had a ball running around on the front lawn and riding scooters.  Mum's enjoyed sitting and having a nice cup of tea and scone in the beautiful autumn sunshine.

Scone Recipe from Country Women's Cookbook

2 Cups SR Flour

1 tablespoon sugar

1 tablespoon butter

1 egg

pinch salt

milk

Mix sugar and salt in the flour, rub in butter, then add well beaten egg, and milk enough to make a soft dough.   Either cut into squares or use a small glass to form rounds about 40 - 50 cms high.  Place on slide that is either dusted with flour, sprayed or use baking paper.  Place the scones quite close together and bake in fairly hot oven for 10 mins.  Serve with butter, jam & cream.
