Sure PM me anytimeThanks for the clarification! I completely understand your point. I may have more questions in the future, but I'll take some time to review your examples first. If I still have questions afterward, I hope it's okay to knock on your inbox door.
Your post is the reason I brought this up, so I'm pleased to see we're on the same page! Before delving into homemaking, I didn't fully grasp the significance of hospitality. However, as I've explored homemaking, I've realized that opening your home is just one facet of hospitality. There are numerous other ways to practice it in all aspects of our lives. It's been truly enlightening.
I can confidently say that my journey into homemaking has been an eye-opener. My previous understanding of homemaking was limited to the stereotype of staying home to cook, clean, and raise kids. To my surprise, it goes far beyond that.
It does help! It does make me curious if others perceive homemaking as I once did. My homemaking curriculum presents a broader perspective, quite distinct from the modern view. It encompasses entrepreneurship, job applications, resume building, interview skills, real estate transactions, travel etiquette, alongside the basics of cooking, cleaning, personal hygiene, and modest attire. It also delves into accounting, bookkeeping, investing, all while emphasizing the importance of keeping God and his word at the forefront and maintaining a biblically oriented family life.
But hospitality was not something I remember learning when I was younger during these lessons. I think I just breezed through it like the rest of the curriculum and didn't really understand or appreciate it. But I was surprised at how important it was within homemaking but also how important it was just as a Christian.
I think if more people learned about how they could be hospitable, some of the problems like the ones posed about how the church handles singles, wouldn't be problems at all.
