A year or two ago, we were at church one Sunday, and they were talking up the dinner groups. You sign up with a group of people and rotate having dinner at each other's houses. The pastor talked about how the best/easiest way to welcome people into your life and form friendships is to welcome them into your home. It really stuck with me. Wow. And I started thinking about it. And, it made sense to me. But here's the thing, I'm not a neatnick. I don't keep my home as neat as I should. My Chris is a neatnick, but I have a feeling he gets overwhelmed and just doesn't even try. And so, I'm embarrassed and don't want to invite people over.
When we lived in the condo, we simply didn't have people over. Easy as that. We had too much stuff and not enough room to put in it's place. Now, we have enough room, but we'd rather sit on the couch. Last night, I had some friends from work over. Mom always said you should have people over at least once a quarter so you make sure to clean up your house. I have to say, the house looks awesome!! And, we had a fabulous time last night! It reminds me of how I want to live. Now, I just have to remember that every night at 11:00 when I'm heading to bed and should really pick up after myself!
