Having been on a blogging hiatus for a while due to our
recent relocation to Mississippi, when I saw the Nester’s reminder about the
“31 days” linkup, I immediately said to myself, “Why Not?”
So here I am today writing the very first of 31 posts for
the month of October.
Once I made the commitment to myself to give this whole “31
days” thing a try, I realized that I had to come up with a topic that would not
only excite me but could provide enough material for 31 posts. After literally
just a few minutes of thinking I came up with…
31 Days of Southern
Hospitality (…without the façade)
Let me give you a little taste of what’s to come…
Knowing instantly I wanted to do something related to
hospitality, I knew I wanted to go a little deeper than just table decorations
and flowers (though we will talk about those things). I wanted to dive in to
how hospitality is an extension of our Christian faith and focus on being
“hospitable” as a way of life, rather than a way we clean our homes before
company comes over. We will look at hospitality in the Bible as well as some
fun ways to go the extra mile to making those we come in contact with truly
loved.
"If there is any concept worth restoring to its original depth and evocative potential, it is the concept of hospitality" Henri Nouwen
