Post of the week from these parts here
House Flipping + You + Our New Fair Trade Store = World Fixer Uppers
…turns out, all our Homes tell a story. Our homes are always either telling fair trade stories or unfair stories.
Every blanket, every mat, every spoon, every plate — in every one of our homes — began somewhere in the world, was made by someone in the world, and somehow changed a bit of the world’s story — for better or worse.
What if your home could tell a story of grace?
Grace given, grace received, grace passed forward and given again.
You can flip the story of your home today
on repeat this week: Wherever I Go…
Home — maybe the most powerful word we know. So it matters — eternally — how we make our homes.
And it turns out?…all our homes tell a story.
What if we could make homes into holy places
and make holy places into welcoming homes
And —
Make tables into altars —
and make altars into tables
because He who is our bread
invites us all
to be a celebrating, banqueting people who:
Make space at tables
Break bread at tables
Recognize Him at tables
Feast till the very end of time at tables
And invite more to the Table.
Today, let’s lay out the welcome mats.
Set the tables.
Make the tables long, so more know they belong.
Tear down the gates and lay out more plates.
Today, let your home tell a story of grace.
Grace given, grace received, grace passed forward and given again.
[excerpted from our little Facebook family … come join us each day?]
That’s all for this weekend, friends.
Go slow. Be God-struck. Grant grace. Live Truth.
Give Thanks. Love well. Re – joy, re- joy, ‘re- joys’ again
Share Whatever Is Good.
