Why are slippers and piles of unwashed dishes among my favorite sights? They are signals that we've just had guests. Even though sometimes washing up the dishes is a chore, it's also a pleasant reminder of how richly we're blessed by our friends.


(Cultural note: Where we live, you always take off your shoes at the door. The host then provides a pair of slippers so the guests' feet don't get cold on the floor.)
