Once again, the Holy Spirit spoke to me during my early morning devotional. I was reading thru Proverbs this week. Somehow, I stumbled across this little devotion in Matthew in my new Woman's Devotional Bible 2 that I bought this week. It really made me realize how I have shown a lack of hospitality towards my boys friends/guests. My dh and I want so much for our home to be the one that everyone wants to be at ~ in other words, a safe haven for all of our children's friends. BUT I have to admit I have had a hard time lately.... Opening my home to toy-oriented hands and feet isn't appealing to me ~ More clean up! It's not the tons of kids that bother me... It's the afterwards clean up that I might possibly have to do. Jesus said " Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such these. " Matt 19:14 Wow~ Have I really allowed children to come to our house, willingly? Maybe sometimes if it is convenient for me. But have I really showed hospitality toward them that Jesus did? Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. 1Peter 4:9 Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it. Heb 13:2 I now realize if I want my house to be the "cool, fun house" I must show more hospitality towards our guests. Regardless of their age. We have been blessed with a wonderful house on one acre ~ I need to show my appreciation by allowing my children to fellowship with others. Regardless of what my house might look like afterwards ~ Can you only imgaine? I have 5 boys of my own! LOL! So, bring all you kids over this weekend so we can use our house for God's glory. BTW, I will be at the Ladies Retreat but my dh will be home with all the boys. hee, hee! He would disown me! Have a blessed weekend! Jill ~ happy momma to almost 5 perfect boys { Post a Comment } { Last Page } { Page 4 of 13 } { Next Page } |
