I love to have people over and don't worry about perfection--the house is cozy, tidy *enough*, and clean, and I like to bake muffins or gingerbread and make tea, and it's really a pleasant way to spend an afternoon!

I am glad that my husband is home with me, because without him I'd be very lonely; however, I find that this hinders hospitality. This is true of my friends, too -- their husbands are home all day. It is hard to do "gal talk" and exchange confidences with husbands in the background.

For myself, I now enjoy having only one or two ladies for lunch. And because I do live fairly far off the beaten path, I tend to take a friend to lunch. I think the world has changed so much! But we can always try to keep these lovely things alive.

I kept telling myself that I am so busy at work lately and surely cannot be expected to be doing more than the everyday things that need to be done. Inside I knew my excuses were worthless but tried not to think about it.

I have let go of a lot of perfectionism and pride that was holding me back and that has brought for a real blossoming of hospitality in my life. <br /><br />My husband prefers to be "just family" in the evening and on the weekends, so anytime I have people over it is during the day.

Thanks for the reminder too that it may seem like it's never the right time for hospitality (too hot, too...) then later mentioning that it's also important to choose a time that works well for you.

It seems hospitality is a thing of the past. I have tried to have get togethers and even wanted to have a ladies Bible study here, but I live 35-40 min from most, out in the country so they complain about the ride.

Thank you so much for sharing it. <br /><br />Hospitality is sadly, a thing of the past in modern churches. Get together's must be stimulating and loud and usually outside the home. Modern women don't have appreciation for a lovely, reasonable time of fellowship with other women, so they simply don't do it.<br /><br />Sadly, thisAndrea Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350050560646748425noreply@blogger.com
