As the name of my blog indicates, I spend a lot of time thinking about home. Of course, my Heavenly Home is the one that is eternal, so that’s where I need to lay up my treasures, and that’s the one I’m striving for. But in the meantime, I have been given this tiny piece of the here-and-now—this home on the edge of town, this family, this neighborhood—in which to serve Him. And, though this is in the earthly realm, I want the things that happen here to be investments in the Heavenly realm.

{31 Days of Hospitality} Day 14 ~ "Without Grudging"

Not to Impress, But to Bless




(Hmmm...without grudging?  Even when it is inconvenient?  Or messy?  Or costly?) 




And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: 
for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.

Use hospitality one to another without grudging.

As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.

If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; 
if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: 
that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, 
to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. 

Amen.

I Peter 4:8-11

  1. Fervent charity,
    and to whom be praise and dominion forever and ever.
    Those are my favorite parts.
