Ep. 5: What Does God Love Most About the Holidays?

Hospitality is hard work but worth it all when you invite someone to your table who needs an invitation to God's table. Your invitation is what God loves best about the holidays. Invite Him to lead you, and then pass on His invitation.

Matthew 5:16  in The Message

If you'd like to print this out and tape it up in the pantry or inside a cupboard door - just for a sweet reminder, here you go.  

Recipe for punch:

Hot Spiced Tea/Punch

(Delectable Collectibles)

1 t. whole cloves

1 stick cinnamon

1/2 t. allspice

1 gal. water

2  1/2 T. tea leaves or 3 tea bags

1 can or more frozen orange juice

1 can frozen lemonade

1 1/2 cups sugar

Tie spices loosely in a bag and bring to boil in water. Add tea and steep five minutes. Remove bags, add juices and sugar; bring to a boil and serve. May be made ahead and stored in refrigerator. Reheat in crockpot when ready to serve. Greet your guests with steaming cups and they will love you (even more than they already do.) I like to use Mom's glass serving tray cups - small and festive. Pick some up at your next garage sale or Mission Thrift. I keep any leftover punch in the freezer and heat it up for the next cold spell.
