Hospitality, Homes and Great Bargains...

 As we prepare our homes for spring, we also are getting our homes ready to open for hospitality! Here are some pretty plates to serve guests with--The Life to the Full Collection!  Today is the LAST DAY to get your Life to the Full Collection for 30% off for the month of March! To get the discount you must use coupon code LIFE30 at checkout!

 These joyful plates are gorgeous and a great way to share your faith with John 10:10 inscribed as the theme:

"I have come so that they may have life and have it to the full.... "

Can't you just see this festive looking pitcher on the patio in the summer by the pool ready to pour some nice cold lemonade?

These cozy mugs are great for a heart-to-heart conversation with two...some how hearts are just more open over a good cup of java or tea. Wouldn't you agree?

And while you are having guests over, why not share a good movie with them?

I remember one year having a HomeBuilder's meeting and having a large group of daughters watch 'The Return of the Daughters' and later discussing it and sharing their thoughts. We love to do this from time to time and these excellent movies are on sale right now until April 2nd.

 This is one of my all time favorites and chock full of wisdom. When I first watched this I was overwhelmed with all the wonderful information that I watched it again the next night and wisely took notes. What Is Biblical Femininity? is now on sale at 55% off and only $6.80! So is Training Dominion -Oriented Daughters!

And Tea with Michelle Duggar only $3.00 (80% off)

....psssst--get your Mother's Day shopping checked off early this year!
Yes, it's only a few weeks away! And at this low price you can pick up several
and encourage that mom you have been meaning to bless~

And while you are busy cleaning your home for company, our family tends to like to listen to good music or a good sermon. Here are some GREAT deals-- SM Davis CD's for only $2.80 each!

I still love to have my children listen to What to Expect From a 12 Year Old when they are washing the dishes--it is SO convicting even to me as a mother of how I should raise them and the ones below. You can click on any of these images to listen to a sample.

Why Satan Wants Your Firstborn and What To Do About It--Is your oldest a rebel or a servant? This wonderful teaching on how the firstborn affects and influences the household and younger siblings. I love SM Davis and know many others who do as well.

And who doesn't need more wisdom in developing character in their children?
At only $2.80 these CD's are a steal--I paid much more for mine!

HomeBuilders and Ladies Tea

The time has come once again to host our HomeBuilders meeting and this time we will have a casual Ladies tea and study for the women with teaching from myself and my dear friend and fellow Raising Homemaker, Rhonda Devine of Walking With Sarah on 'Battling Lies and Hardship'.

My husband Steve of The Male Domain will be encouraging and teaching men on 'Characteristics of Biblical Manhood". We will also have food, fun, fellowship, football, volleyball and leisurely watch a movie or two. 

If you are interested in attending a HomeBuilders meeting please contact me in the comments section. I will need to know as soon as possible since this meeting is this Sunday we might have a large crowd and I will need a headcount. Hopefully we will be able to fit you all in! Also, if you would like to learn more about that day, what to bring or about our HomeBuilder's ministry please click here.

HomeBuilding Hospitality

Yesterday we had our HomeBuilders meeting and I can't think of anything greater than getting together with God's people over coffee and talking about Jesus!

We had worked hard preparing our home for the day, de-winterizing our yard, touch up paint indoor and outdoors, several yards of mulch thrown down, and plenty of gardening from the last few weeks (more on this later), and not to mention cleaning the house. But it was all worth it in the end--(I love that having people over gives us that little push to get things done)---we had a great turn out and the weather was picture perfect and my pink blossom trees were in bloom!

More importantly, the Word of God was able to permeate our lives. The sacred covenant of marriage was discussed in depth, and I know that even I, who shared with the women on how to be a loving and supportive helpmeet, walked away challenged in my own life. That is the blessing of fellowship with other believers. As the verse--'iron sharpens iron so one man sharpens another'--we are blessed when we can meet intimately with believers to cast light into one another's lives.

When we first bought this home, I promised the Lord I would always use it for Him and His people. I always want people to feel comfortable here. A place they can kick up there feet, rest and know that they can safely share the troubles and victories of the week here. A place to make a new friend and a place where they feel the love of Christ. My children treasure these special times ---they truly love having friends over and have held it as one of their fondest childhood memories. It is good to know that when we prepare for an event or meeting that we as a family team are using our hands to serve the body of Christ. I want that memory to be with our children forever.



Ultimately the greatest blessings of hospitality are that we enjoy with our friends is that we begin to create bonds that lead us to become more like a family instead of mere acquaintances that just say 'hi' and 'bye' to eachother at church. We pray for eachother, we support eachother, we listen to eachother. It is better than any support group on earth! We can just be real and talk about Jesus.

After all, isn't that what it's all about? Yes....JESUS.
