When it comes to hospitality, Southerners may think they have a corner on the market, but just what is it, really?


Hospitality – Using what I have with a loving, generous spirit to point another person to our generous God.

The focus is Christ – not me, not my cooking, not my home.

We usually think of hospitality as having someone in our home for a meal, but it can take on many forms. While I have appreciated the hospitality of many when they invited us over for fellowship, I’m fairly certain that the times when we were “needy” and we were served by others has been the times that touched my heart the deepest.

I’m thinking about a time when my husband had emergency retina surgery.

Refreshing Your Home This Spring

Springtime is the time for sprucing things up! It doesn’t always have to be a huge project – sometimes just a deep spring cleaning will do it. Other times a greater change is needed.

For us, this spring meant it was time to paint. Isn’t it amazing what a can of paint will do to a room?! We’ve lived in our house twelve years, and the color of the walls and the paint itself were showing their age. We painted downstairs two years ago and it made such a difference!

Four Biblical Principles for Overcoming Anxiety

I had a young woman reach out to me recently with this request  – She said:

I have been struggling with anxiety over current events recently.  It is so hard as a Christian because my God has been so faithful in taking care of me, but in my weakness, I am still fearful.  Do you have any advice or favorite go-to Bible verses or songs that you would recommend?

I’m fairly certain that MANY or most of us could concur that this is a very prevalent truth in each of our lives.  I don’t even need to list for you the reasons we could be fearful – we all have personal scenarios and situations that pop up daily that threaten to steal our peace, that could cause us to feel like we’re drowning in our own anxiety.

Brighten Your Spring with Lemon Muffins

RefreshHer2 Comments

What says, spring more than lemon-flavor? I love its tanginess, its brightness and even its color. I have many delicious lemon recipes that I’ve used over the years, including Lemon Loaf, Lemon Meringue Pie, Lemon Pudding Cake and Coconut Cake with Lemon Curd. But since you can’t have too many lemon recipes, I recently made a Lemon Muffin that paired well with the Rotisserie Chicken Dinner I served. My husband loved them! They were equally as good served alongside our breakfast the next morning!
