102. Simplifying Hospitality, "Teaching Your Kids to BE A BLESSING" Series

We're in the middle of a series on Teaching Our Kids to be a Blessing.  Last week we talked about being a blessing  through VOLUNTEERING.  This week, we're looking at incorporating BEING A BLESSING through HOSPITALITY in your busy, hectic, imperfect family life.  Learning to create a community right in your own home using your home to care about others while growing your children's character through these intentional community opportunities.  HOW would we do this and WHY would we  make hospitality a part of our family life?    It can be easier than you may think! I'm joined in the studio by Becca Hammond and she's going to help us SIMPLIFY HOSPITALITY. If you're looking for a smile and a peaceful bit of encouragement, this episode is for you.  I've listened to it several times and keep feeling a true sigh of relief from listening.  You'll be inspired to change your perspective.  Come on in and experience simple, pure hospitality. The fear that arises in me when I think of hospitality is - my home isn't good enough for having company and I'm not a good enough cook and I can't afford it and I don't have TIME.    Our guest will inspire us  while she tells us how to keep it SIMPLE but IMPACTFUL.Resources mentioned in episode 102:Book - The Gospel Comes With a HousekeyBook - The Freedom to FlourishNEXT WEEK - "The Joy of Being a Blessing AMONG SIBLINGS"Other episodes with Becca...Episode 82 Moms and False Inadequacy with Guest Becca Hammond and Val's VIPs. Episode 36 Kid's Emotions, Insecurity, & Talk with a Preschool Mom Support the showVisit Val's website: PracticallySpeakingMOM.comJoin Val's Facebook Group Intentional Mom, Strong FamilyFollow Val on Instagram and her Facebook Public Page Practically Speaking MOM To give a set amount each month click here.

Do you long to be a more intentional mom but you feel overwhelmed or weary or just don't have a clear path to the next step toward a successful family life? The Practically Speaking MOM, Val Harrison, is here to bring some order to the chaos and some focus to the confusion. You don’t have to be the perfect mom to have a strong family, you need a plan! Join author, speaker, mother of seven, and grandma of two, as she shares wisdom and encouragement about the six areas of an intentional mom's life. You'll learn from her years of experience, successes, mistakes and redemption. Val and her husband Rich, married 28 years, have three married children, two more in college, and two in her homeschool. This podcast covers all stages of parenting, from babies to toddlers to teens and beyond. Val wants to encourage you to not become weary in your work as an intentional mom, "Even with all its unique personalities, imperfections and scars; your family is God's masterpiece. Your efforts matter in this worthy journey of motherhood." Galations 6:9 says, "Do not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time you'll reap a harvest if you do not give up." Let's walk this marathon journey of motherhood TOGETHER, right here, every Monday on the Practically Speaking MOM podcast, the place for an intentional mom to build a strong family.
