“In our efforts to create beautiful homes, let’s be women who know Him well, embellishing our days with the time-honored spiritual disciplines that have developed, grown, and strengthened the spiritual lives and homes of women down through the ages.

“If those first few scenes in the Garden taught us anything, it was that people were not meant to be alone. Unfortunately, the enemy is well aware of the power of social separation and will gladly dangle whatever forbidden fruit necessary to isolate us and convince us we are alone.”

“I’ll admit, each time I welcomed people over I couldn’t help but wonder if someone else should play hostess — someone with a larger home, a bigger table, a more comfortable couch…

Really resonating with this section!

“Any time we welcome someone to our table and show them the hospitality God entrusted to us, we have an opportunity to meet their physical need but also to address the deep spiritual hunger only the Bread of Life can fulfill.”
