Pursue hospitality. It’s a command. It’s a duty. But it doesn’t mean that we all need to be having people over for dinner every week.
Well, except for our people – we feed them every day, every week – three times a day, even. That’s hospitality, too.
The goal of hospitality means that we see our homes as tools in the formation of people, not as trophies to be kept beautiful.
As G.K. Chesterton reminds us: The business done in the home is nothing less than the shaping of the body and soul of humanity.
As homemakers, we’re making hospitable homes, homes that shape the bodies and souls of humanity.
Those souls’ bodies might have been shaped in our wombs or not. Those bodies might sleep between sheets we wash or not. But our goal is that all the bodies and souls under our roof for years or for hours be shaped for good by the time spent in our homes.
That’s our business.
Our home is for the service of building up people.
