...THE BABY IS HERE...THE BABY IS HERE...THE BABY IS HERE...AAAARRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH.

Posted by Nancy at 23:55

Nancy: I’m a mum of 3 kids, & wife to a pastor in the North of England. We minister to a small church in a hard to reach area. Naturally I'm an introvert-so the wrong person to be writing about this. There's usually a lot of people in our home, whether it's our kids' mates/(church) family/total strangers, it’s always busy, always full of food & always carnage. The house is a mess. The food is basic. I've struggled with hospitality, my question has always been "Yes, but HOW did they start doing it?". I know what I've described above is maybe WAY out of your comfort zone but let me reassure you that it IS possible to be hospitable without having to lose your mind (or your priceless vase). This blog aims to help you become more hospitable than you are right now. That might mean embracing the crazy, it might mean being open-to-working-towards-maybe-trying-it-a-little-bit. Hopefully you'll feel less panicked when the bible mentions the H-word & more equipped. So make yourself at home.
