Friends in Faith: Megan Hamberger

“They have no wine,” Mary told Jesus at the wedding at Cana, and we all know what happened after that.

Mary and Jesus are models for us of so many things, but right now, I’m contemplating on their hospitality… and calm. My friend Megan Hamberger and I recently were at the same table for a dinner… and there was no wine. While I sat there just saying over and over again, “No wine? No wine?” Megan without fanfare or fuss went out to common area and bought two bottles for the table.

That’s the way Megan rolls… she excels at making people feel comfortable and valued. Megan shows me that a little well-placed, unobtrusive action goes a long, long way.
