It's certainly a loving and faithful thing to do, Chatty. My parents always had displaced people in our home for meals. Holidays and otherwise. It always worked out for them, though the last time they did something like that -- they had a young man living with them who was Yugoslavian who lived with them for several months -- my mother ended up being quite nervous about him and ended up reporting him to the CIA...

I was out of the house by then -- don't know how one gets in touch with the CIA personally -- and I don't recall what it was about the young man that "creeped her out"...

I know my Dad thought she was over-reacting, but she has always had good intuition about people.

But that was a different situation - he lived with them for months -- a lot different than a home-cooked meal on a holiday.
