Do you know the cost of being a host/hostess?

thanks

Being mindfully thankful this season…

We had the pleasure of serving new clients this week.  They spent

nearly $500 of their hard earned money getting ready for their Thanksgiving guests.  I wonder if we think of the work, sacrifice and money spent on us when we are privileged to be guests in someone’s home?  Mind you, this home was already in great condition and people could have stayed there without us coming in.  However, they believed that their guests, “deserve,” better.  We cleared out clutter, organized items, cleaned the house (very lightly, as it was in great shape already) and ‘dressed’ the rooms/bathrooms (my FAVORITE part).  All this could have been done by the homeowners and/or the guests could have shuffled around stuff and still had an amazing time with their family.  The host and hostess were willing to spend money and time on their family and friends to provide an even better experience.  I charge each of us to make sure that we deeply and gratefully thank anyone willing to put us up in their home.   Maybe, we could even leave the space as nice or better than we found it.  That’s all for this post.  Love one another!  Remember – 1.) In all you do, work hard, as for the Lord.  2.)Be kinder than necessary; everyone is fighting some kind of battle.
