Passionate Homemaking's Blog

I want to point out a special blog site.  Passionate Homemaking is an encouragement to me and I’m sure it will be for many others as well. She regularly reminds me of my high calling in homemaking to minister Biblically to my family..  

You may be interested to read about the study that will begin on hospitality.  This is what she said:

Practicing Hospitality Study & Giveaway!
“Believers can uniquely display God’s love as they extend hospitality…Food and other elements are merely tools used to express our love for people. Our motivation for being hospitable women is a response to God’s work in our lives. Hospitality is one way we can tangibly demonstrate our love for God.”

The call to practice hospitality is a command given to all believers (Romans 12:13).  “Practicing” means that we are to pursue, strive for, and actively look for opportunities to show hospitality. As women of God, we are given unique gifts to demonstrate Christ’s love through being willing to open our doors in ministry unto others. Hospitality is a form of giving! It’s not about having our act together with a gourmet meal and perfectly decorated home, but rather it is an attitude of the heart…a welcoming, generous, compassionate desire to serve and spread the love of Christ. It is also not limited to your home, but rather a lifestyle of giving!

Practicing Hospitality: The Joy of Serving Others by Pat Ennis & Lisa Tatlock will assist you in fulfilling this command through supplying you with the vision and excitement to see how you can take part in extending His kingdom by simply opening your home and life to others. The authors delve into topics of extending hospitality first and foremost to your own family, keeping your household managed so you can be prepared for hospitality, in addition to a wealth of ideas, recipes and resources for all aspects of serving others. This book is for single and married individuals alike as the authors provide tangible ideas for both audiences on how to fulfill this command.

Please join them for their upcoming book study using Practicing Hospitality.  The study has been extended to begin on February 1st, and it will begin by reading one chapter each week and having a discussion posted weekly on Mondays after the conclusion of each chapter.  So order your copy today!
