Parenting and Hospitality

Liz Sweet

1 Thessalonians 2:17-3:13

Hospitality is a way to represent the great love God has for people. It is inviting people into not just your home but into your lives and hearts. Hospitality is authentic, genuine interaction including the laughter, as well as the messiness of life. It is a kind heart and a helping hand. Hospitality models for our children the value of people over stuff. Opening our homes to friends and strangers teaches our children how to treat people with courtesy and warmth.

God oftentimes uses circumstances and suffering to lead His followers into becoming more and more like Christ.
