Instagram post 2194696375777061748_27499051 “Hospitality has a hidden power that is difficult to explain but even harder to deny.” ~Margaret Feinberg, Taste and See: Discovering God Among the Butchers, Bakers, and Fresh Food Makers.
.
I’ve been thinking long and hard about how I can better reflect a hospitable spirit to those in my life. How do you practice everyday hospitality?
.
If there’s one who goes the distance to show you a hospitable spirit in your own life, tag 🏷 him or her in the comments below!
Instagram post 2190243021252204401_27499051 This pretty little thing might just make the perfect stocking stuffer for someone who:
.
📦Moved to a new town or state and is trying to find her people.
👶Has a new baby and is trying to figure out her new role as mama.
🧳Is still getting used to her first or final kiddo moving away from home.
🤔Changed employment and isn’t sure of her place within her new job.
😟Sits in a new season or environment and worries she’s too much or not enough.
.
Basically, it’s for anyone experiencing a crisis of belonging and wants a companion 👋🏼moving through it.
.
Right now, both Amazon and Target have #backroadstobelonging for under $10. (Right now, its only $6.36 on Amazon when you apply a $3.43 coupon.😱🎉) Note that Target has it via their website (not in stores) + extra deals on top of the low price. Swipe to see this book’s big sister, #girlmeetschange, which is available for around $10 on Amazon, too! Check my profile for links to purchase.
.
🏷 Tag a friend who could use a little holiday help with change and belonging, and check out the hashtag #fromthebookstack to see other book recommendations for those on your Christmas list. 🌲📚
