Sue Donaldson: Leaving A Beautiful Legacy of Hospitality
What sort of legacy do you want to leave? Do you even think about what legacy you are leaving with everything that you do? Legacy is not just stuff. Legacy is more about the memories and the lessons you leave with loved ones. Hospitality can be a way to leave a lasting legacy. Sue Donaldson is passionate about hospitality and legacy. We talk about why she feels so deeply about hospitality, combating loneliness, and the difference between hospitality and entertaining. We also talk about what sort of legacy we leave behind and why it’s important.

Quotes:
*“Hospitality is a command by God, but it’s for our good, as all His commands are. I call it self-serving sanctification!”
*“Jesus and God and the Spirit, they’re a trinity, so they’ve always had community. And we are to reflect Him in that.”
*“Solitude is the positive side of being alone. And loneliness is the painful side of being alone.”
“Hospitality makes the guest the main focus. Entertaining makes yourself, the hostess, the focus…. Entertaining is to impress. Hospitality is to serve.”
“Everything we do is legacy, whether it’s positive or negative.”
