With Thanksgiving and the Christmas season upon us, we can get very stressed out about making our home perfect for entertaining. But today I am talking about focusing on hospitality and how you make people feel in your home.
The difference between hospitality and entertaining is that one says, "Look what I can do." The other says, "What can I do for you?"
I have evolved greatly in this area over the years from seeking the perfect home for my guests, to wanting them to simply feel God's love in my home above all else. There was a time when I wouldn't dare want someone to stop over unexpectedly because things weren't perfect, to now opening my home any time any day.
I would rather people leave my home saying, "Karen loves Jesus," rather than, "Karen has a perfect home."
Every time you open your door, you are ministering. Remember that as you prepare to open your home this holiday season.
