hosting

there is something really lovely about having a home and cramming it full of people. one of the many things that i have missed this last year was the joy of inviting people round to my home, feeding them, and having laugh together. coffee and cake with friends. birthday and thanksgiving celebrations. my home is also the centre of where i work. meetings are held here. hours logged in at the computer. times of prayer. and it is also been a refuge. a tiny hideaway from the busyness of life. but my favourite has always been the pleasure of hosting whether its for friends or for work. i love serving tea and coffee. i love baking cakes and constantly trying to attempt the perfect meal. and most of all i love seeing people enjoying themselves in my home. there is true pleasure in knowing that you've helped create an environment that allows people to relax, discuss important topics, laugh together and generally have a great time. so thankful for my home and the joy God gives in serving from the home!
