When the holiday season rolls around, our homes become more than just living spaces; they transform into hubs of warmth, laughter, and memories in the making. This year, as I welcome my parents into our abode for an extended stay, I've been reflecting on the true essence of holiday hospitality and the profound joy it brings. Gather 'round, friends, and let the spirit of the season wash over you through my tales of intimate dinners, the magic of morning coffees, and the hearty laughter that echoes through the halls when loved ones are near.
In our latest heartwarming chat, we peel back the layers of what makes these gatherings so meaningful. It's not just the act of sharing a meal, but the deeper connection fostered by inviting fresh faces to our tables—those who haven't journeyed with us from the beginning but join us now, weaving their stories into the tapestry of our lives. I also share my personal evolution from a hostess focused on perfection to one who cherishes harmony and togetherness above all. Sprinkled with practical tips for making any guest feel at home, this conversation is an invitation to open your doors and hearts with a renewed sense of purpose this festive season.
Like the feeling of being warm and welcomed in my moms home starts from the moment you enter but it’s how she moves from person to person making sure everyone is taken care of, or how she somehow cleans a kitchen without anyone noticing because everyone is so relaxed. Or how she’s quick to drop everything to take a phone call from me - that's hospitality from a distance. And I think this has been learned, because it’s in her bones to be a busy bee, but she has worked hard to see people how God sees them, full of intrinsic value in the image of God and full of purpose and importance. So that’s your challenge today my gals, seek to host people like Jesus would. And don’t forget the most important part and initial start and that’s inviting them in.
